HvZ item for the humans to get ahold of at some point: An anti-zombie bubble screen generator. If a zombie gets tagged by any bubbles, they're out, possibly for more time than normal (assuming they're getting recycled).

Question for the next episode:

What is your favorite combo for a half-dart-only load-out?

[builderbb]

Uruk Hai crossbow uses elastic bands internally and is reverse plunger tube. It can be upgraded to stronger bands and should as the elastic ages and failed in the one i modified with an inline clip barrel.

Do you have a current favorite book you are reading?

To comment on the shotgun primary thing, I don't know if you could consider this a primary, but I just think back to when I play 7 Days to Die and the only gun I have access to early is the blunderbuss, a single shot shotgun, and I would fill my inventory with like, 6 of them and just switch between them to shoot 6 times without reloading. Again, don't know if it could be considered a primary or just a whole loadout, but I wonder if it would be practical at all to have something similar to the jolt vest and have a lot of as-small-as-possible shotgun blasters

here's an idea: I cut off the tube which the missile fits over in the demolisher missile launcher, then epoxied an aproximately 1 in. long and .5 in. diameter thread peice to where i cut off the missile tube. Then i took a pipe which threads over said thread peice and epoxied the original missile tube onto the pipe. The new missile tube now threads over the thread peice, which allows me to make different attachments. I have so far made a mega attahment, a missile launching attachment, and a three-round shotgun attachment. I call the system MODROLS (MOdular Demolisher ROcket Launcher System)

Amazon asked me to reconfirm my interest in the X-Shot Fury-X this week. Obviously, they are having issues getting the blaster. It's the last of the blasters on my current wishlist.

I need modding advice. I upgraded an xshot longshot with all the available metal parts, and an 18 kg spring with a random spring underneath it. It hit 300 fps until the plastic plunger rod showed stress fractures under the tooth that engages with the catch. I got a new one and replaced that plastic tooth with some 3/4" pvc and a nut. Now, the nut is removing materisl from the metal catch with each shot. How would you go about reinforcing the metal catch to make it more durable?

On your worst day, is there something you tell yourself to push forward? A mantra?

[RandomIdeaGenerator]

Which company has the potential for better quality of full length darts?

[jeremiahcowling]

Hey hey, I ended up in the possession of a gear up recon midway through conversion into an expanded plunger retalicon, and the previous owner had accidentally broken the two screw posts at the top rear of the blaster by the plunger tube. I watched your video on repairing broken screw posts but these are broken at the base and they sit on an angled surface, will the screw-through-the-other-side method still work if the posts sit on an angled surface? Thanks in advance

Do you like Sabaton? If so, what’s your favorite song?

[stuartcraig]

What are your opinions on x-shot as a brand?
Will you be attending a cinema to view the newest alien movie?

Question:
Have you heard of the NSK-X by Brooklyn Tony, and if so, have you built one or done a video on it?
It uses the car relay select fire system, and I am thinking I want to build one.

[mitchcusk]

Hey thank you for the videos they are all amazing keep them up!!!!
question - what is the most amount of K25 you can get into a X-shot longshot but keeping it under 280 - 290 FPS?

[stock_movie]

Honestly love your vid cap.

Just had a question.

The nerf rival Jupiter (i believe that was the green bolt action one). I have has had horrific feeding issues since I replaced the feeding spring. I'm not sure if the spring I used was too powerful or too weak, but I was wondering if you had any similar issues and if it was easily remedied

[JangoFoamFlinger]

How hard would it be to mod a titan to take the EZE drum mag?

[JonathanBerry-nkfz]

Captain, what are you thoughts on a magazine for demolisher rockets? I know we don’t have any blasters that use any but I had an idea for one and was wondering if you had any advice.

[RandomIdeaGenerator]

Would you ever consider thrifting nerf or anything that you are interested in here in New Jersey?
