Dude the slot drilling was absolute genius. It's a perfect example of not having the "correct" tools for the job but still doing it correctly. Also that one drill bit was huge. Massive even.

Really clever way of making the slot, using those dowels. Goldilocks drill bit. Not too big, not to small. Just right. This is a really elegent design for a pump action musket. Kirky truly is an inspiration to us all!

the drill bit you used was unneccessarily huge. gigantic even. of biblical proportions.

Using a ball bearing as a catch is clean

PLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEASE make these files public. Thats the coolest ducking blaster I have ever seen.

Cant wait for when youre rich and famous and send a nerf dart through the Large Hadron Collider

Man, the quality of your blasters has really gone up. This is an impressive build that I could totally see being sold to customers, maybe with a different trigger mounting than those clamps. Nice work!

this is actually a good quality single shot blaster

0:39 Kirby: "Wanna know how I got these scars?"

Now you could make the opposite of a bullpup where the magazine is as far to the front of the blaster as possible

That drill bit probably has a good personality

the part where you lined up the hammer hits with the beats of the song was great! i didn't even notice the music sneaking up on me till then

I remember when custom nerf blasters looked like this: jank pvc and wood with hardware from Home Depot, clothe pins, and such. It’s kind of endearing seeing it again. I never built one, but I remember looking up write ups for rainbow pistols and other homemade designs.

The dowel trick was lowkey crazy. This whole build was just so ingenious, congrats man. P.s. you have great taste in watches

I'm absolutely amazed by the number of clever solutions in this build! You seem to effortlessly solve problems that would have me pulling my hair out!

That trick with the wooden dowels was big brain time

holy shit this feels like you genuinely studied airgun and gun design for this, great work.

Awesome to see some designs in the style of old homemades, especially such unique ones. Would love to see the design released.

ive never seen someone use this concept before and i really love it. i hope this becomes more popular for future 3d printed blasters as i think it has some real potential for high performance if used correctly.

A practical front loading blaster

The air volume on the blaster looks insane!

I like how the grips were literally just Magpul, gives it a parts bin vibe that I dig. Your builds are rad!

Your drill bit size is perfect, the big ones hurt

"Okay! Plan B" is incredibly relatable.

I always thought that a dope idea for a Rival blaster would be something like a Prometheus, but with a large funnel attached to the top so that you can catch other people’s darts and fire them back at them

Commenting so you get recommended by KZfaq.

The Slot drilling Technique is so ahead of what I learned in Tech scholarship. Wow. I learned that "every second hole" back then also. Another Easy Way would be a combidrillbit with Milling teeth at the side or a milling bit. The Blaster is 👍

That project is a lesson in design. The way you chose every solution so it is simple yet reliable, while not being complex to manufacture is telling of the talent employed.

That’s a really cool design. I need to build one!

I think this is my favorite build of yours. It's just the right amount of humor with plenty of ingenuity and functionality. Very cool blaster!

always love to see the guts of a mechanism

Personally I like the smaller drill bits, but you gotta be very careful with them. They snap very easily!

Really great video showing the overall outcome plus the little tips like pre-tapping the drill press targets!

Amazing vid, super fun watch. cool blaster, may try it myself. Plus the jokes were right on super funny

I felt that line about "tools to buy when I'm rich" I'm constantly having to get creative when I make stuff.

Dude 16 year old me would have caused havoc in my town if I had watched your videos back then, glad to see nerf is still around and an active hobby

I love the editing and process as always dude. This blaster is INSANELY cool.

Loving these videos, keep it up!

Matt went from making a dangerous foam pistol to making whole pressure systems. Impressive.

I particularly loved your explanations on this video. My favorite one so far!

The rnb song choice at 6:00 when the male and female ends connected safely using the rubber gasket was smooth

NGL, I was fully expecting a vacuum blaster that just sucks darts out of the air, but this is much cooler!

Matt, your videos have actually gotten way more professional.

This guy is so underrated

That's a pretty sick build to be fair. Nice job... Wish more people would do this kind of old skool modding/blaster builds, rather than just 3d print everything

you know the blaster is powerful when you cant see the dart flying

Wow. Just wow. This project was so fun to watch as everything comes together perfectly It’s the enjoyment of the project going perfectly from the start that we all wish for that we get from this, though I’m sure there were some hiccups and challenges Keep the great content coming!

That drill bit was above average? I say that was big ( Thanks for the heart. Keep up the good work. )

Yo quit playing that romantical music it makes me feel like I’m gonna have a long and fulfilling life full of ups and downs with a nerf gun

Awesome build. You should add some kind of magazine.

the smaller the drill bit the better. less work required to get a clean hole, and easier to handle in the chuck. not to mention i love the noises machinists make when i tease them about the size :P

holy shit this blastes looks insane, it seems like a very well and precise build, in order to has that effect, you problaby had to make miracle

This design is brilliant and full of simple tricks that make this blaster more reliable. Great work ! Can't wait to see what's next :D

You're going places, as are the darts. I got recommended your first video when it came out, and I'm glad I watched it. Top tier content.

Love the hammering hitting on beat with the song its a very satisfying edit

Love everything about this, such an elegant design, and that catch/ trigger mech may be just what I need to get my homemade pistol project to work, after I’d kind of abandoned it a few years back

A little tip about drilling plastic: use slow drill speeds and a sharp bit. If you use a speed that's too fast or a dull bit you will melt the plastic leaving burs that are much harder to remove.

Biggest drill bit I’ve ever seen, and I’ve seen a few. Sometimes I wonder how guys with huge drill bits like that ever make it fit, I guess they need a lot of cutting fluid 😂

this is such a neat project, love seeing the process :3

gotta say, your incredible sense of humor is a good change of pace from some other crafting videos ive seen. very engaging. and funny. especially the sex jokes

Some truly impressive engineering!

Revolutionary musket reloading right here

Id absolutely pay for one of these blasters. I love all the techniques you used! That ball bearing catch is brilliant! Next you just need to make it into an RSCB so you dont need to reload from the front or something. Cant wait to see what else you make.

superbly crafted, a beautiful idea, and there was no part of this video that did not have me accidentally breathing in toast crumbs - you will hear from my lawyer.

innovative use of vacuum loading

Actually a pretty cool way of using the vacuum to get the dart seated all the way back. Usually we just feed the dart at the back a coupler

Very clever! Plus bonus points for kirb

3:47 song is The Four Seasons: Concerto No. 4 in F Minor, RV 297 "L'inverno" (winter): I. Allegro non molto if anyone cares (i think)

quality vid and great craftsmanship

its not about the size of the drillbit , but the personality

Kirbo Blaster looks truely inspired. Susie would be proud. Good job.

I leave for a few months and this man has optimized muzzle-loading firearms so much they load themselves. He created a self-loading musket. I'm in shock.

Glad to see another nice design!

Very well designed 👌

awesome concept :) not experienced in 3dp nerf but that trigger mechanism is mind blowing FYI deburrer and center punch would make your life a lot easier, both of them are pretty affordable

The engineering here is spectacular.

Imagine connecting the dart and the blaster with a string, you could have infinite ammo with this

It's not the size of the drill bit, it's how many you've bent and broke to keep the rest of them in line.

Seeing you drill in lieu of having a mill is intensely relatable. Using the dowels is clever, I probably would have continued trying to drill between the spaces without support lmao.

I love you sense of comedy

you know exactly what you're doing with these.

how the piano syncedd at 1:16 >>>>

Everytime that this guy uploads i get genuanlny happy !❤❤

The trigger/catch is genius, so simple yet reliable. I'm curious what sort of fps you get..

bro made a pump action musket

More genius and somehow satisfying then I thought it will be xD

The wooden dowels used to calm down the drill... great idea!

Would be cool if you found a way to make it mag fed

New Allen Pan just dropped

You should make this using rival and maybe a slightly flared barrel tip so that you don't have to be as precise and you might even be able to suck them off the ground.

Your videos are so cool and relaxing

This is similar to a toy my brothers and I had as kids, we called them "Burp Guns" because the noise they made. It was the same concept though, two pipes that slide in each other like a trombone. One end was sealed, and on the other was a rubber gasket. To load the gun you rolled the gasket back over the tube and slipped these plastic balls in. They were a bit like pingpong balls but a bit smaller and thicker plastic so they were more durable and heavier. Then you flip the gasket back up. When you compress the pipes it pushed the ball against the rubber making a seal, and as the pressure built up it would overcome the resistance and shoot the ball out at high speed. We had a grand time launching these things all over the house. We even modified some of them with extra rubber bands around the rubber end so it made a tighter seal and built up more pressure before the ball launched out

I can’t believe what I’m seeing I thought I thought you better 1:35

Try building a blaster that has a second spring that pushes on the stock for simulated recoil.

Your drill bit is huge! My drill bit may not be especially big, but can become mighty useful when you need to drill little pin hiles

Enormous bit for the job!

your actually awesome im learning a crap ton from this

That drill bit would work great for drilling barrel holes for warhammer 40k models

Very neat! The sucking the darts in looks pretty cool All hail the algorithm

Add a tactical rail on top for a sniper scope
