    Oh man. I missed this series. And I love the "word from sponsor" bit. Almost the same caliber as a super bowl ad 😂

    Caught you on Walcom’s stream and it really resonated when he was agonizing about how he has to please the CZcams algorithm and you just casually dropped “CZcams isn’t my job so I can post whatever I think is interesting”. Gonna dive deep into your videos!

    • @CaptainXavier

      It really does make a difference. I do not envy Walcom's need to please The Algorithm. For me it is a hobby and I like it that way. It does mean that I will never be hugely successful on CZcams but I have found that I really don't want to be. Especially if it meant not being able to make the kinds of videos I want to make.

    Bit disappointing that we didn't get to see inside the Fate, but eh, that's life. Nothing you can do about a camera failure.
    Glad to see more "Can it Take a K26", it's always been my favorite format for nerf reviews. It shows off how well the blaster performs, and then it gets into important stuff most reviews skip. How does the blaster work? How hard is it to get into? How robust are the internals? How's the upgradeability?
    A blaster review without a peek inside feels like a car review where the engine is never mentioned.

      Yeah, I was very annoyed with myself and didn't feel like opening it up again. It is basically a Nitefinder with a spring-loaded breach. Nothing fancy.

    Whoever at Hasbro that designed the Pilot must secretly be a modder cause that thing is a modders dream. I have one that I've modded to take MM Firefly shells and another that takes Flypoint shells.

    The Pilot is my favorite toy blaster of all time. It's amazing. I simply have a K26 in mine and that's it. I enjoy firing it more than any other blaster. I've never played PvP with foam yet because I'm relatively new to the hobby so I'm sure the Pilot is D tier in PvP. That said, shooting and reloading this thing is therapeutic to me

    Excellent video as usual! I have an off topic question for you if you don't mind, What type of net do you use on your range & where did you get them? We have been looking for a solution to keep our spectator's in a safe zone during our wars but still keep them close enough to see the action. Thanks - Joe

    @stijnVDA1994 Před rokem

    hey captain,
    have you looked into practicing occluded eye aiming? that's in a way aiming with two eyes, it makes the sight in a way dubble allowing you to aim with your normal shooring side but it allows for aiming with your other eye. thus allowing you to be as accurate as you wish 😉

  • @pjusttheletterpreally.noth2995

    Bit late, but I'm (pleasantly) shocked that the Pilot took a K26, while the Knockout couldn't iirc.

    Slap an in-line 4 short dart kit in with a 16kg spring and this thing is so good. It’s also so loud 😂 I’ve hit 126 fps and it’s accurate out to like 50 feet.

    May be an odd request, but I'd love to see if the Elite 2.0 Ranger can take a K26 or even heavier spring. I always thought a beefy spring and removing the ARs would make a fun 5 dart shotgun.

    question! could you put a knockout priming handle into a pilot?i like the way the handle goes back in, out of the way. plinking from my couch down the hall the priming handle of the pilot is in the way of the arm of the couch.

      With enough epoxy anything is possible. If you are asking if they are inhererantly interchangeable? Probably not.

    Dear Capt Xavier: this video made me think of something I have been wondering. I seem to recall that a previous owner of your property basically ran a (Christmas?) tree farm. How far apart are the trees? And what species of trees are they, if you know?

    • @CaptainXavier
      @CaptainXavier  Před rokem

      It was not a Christmas tree farm. It was a lumber tree farm. They are around 8ft part and I believe they are Douglas fir.
