(The kit just came in yesterday, all the way from Singapore.)

Anybody remember "COBRA (1986)?"

Thanks !

Made a video today.

SPAMF has been around for a while.
There are already so many videos that feature SPAMF.

And, it is very well thought / engineered kit with very clear instruction
(on his Etsy shop), anyone who can turn screwdriver can build this,
in 15 minutes.

So, this is not a “how to” video.


I just wanted to make a video because building SPAM was so enjoyable.
(My way to say thanks to the creator, Gavin in SIngapore.)


No drilling / filing / sanding, no soldering, no head scratching.
It is very relaxing and very pleasant.

(I kinda wish if all 3D printed blaster kits were made this way…)

Venturi Mk8, by NorthEast Design

Venturi Mk8 outdoor shooting video

If you liked Harry Callahan's 44 Automag in "Sudden Impact"(1983 !)
you will like this Venturi Mk 8.


https://youtu.be/vQrJ9u-jo_E

It shoots consistently over 200 fps.
Doesn't have scar barrel, nor brass barrel, but still have really good air seal.
And accurate enough to hit pizza pan at 33 feet consistently.


Priming is heavy, but a lot more manageable than SCAMP, mostly because of
BIG T-pull handle and "heavy but short draw".
(I also have optional lighter spring.)


It is hard on the darts.
Adventure Force Pro darts, they all survived.
But half of the Worker Gen 3 darts got destroyed after being shot only once.

July 4th Stryfe build !
(3s LiPo, Kraken motors, containment crew flywheels, worker cage …)
https://youtu.be/YGtxGvAqYVI

I recently picked up Stryfe for $25.
So, I decided to paint it, and mod it for 3s LiPo.

Painting, with a lot of weathering (an artist in me kicked in)

Because I wasn't really happy with my cheap Chronographs...
(Have I gone too far ?
No. I have some nice blasters (that I haven't made videos, yet) that deserve better bailistic chrono.
And, this is a very useful tool for modder, like myself.
Well, that was my excuse.)

Not Neft related, but this one also came in yesterday.
DSC00049

It says, "(age) 10+" (so I guess I can build it), 646 pieces ...

DSC00051

The front end turns, suspensions move, cranks shaft turns and moves the pistons, ...

DSC00054

... sadly, I'm all tied up today, have no time to build it.
(Hopefully next weekend, I'll do it.)

Finally, ProCHrono DLX in action !
(And Dessert Pigeon Mk8).

(Keep in mind that Chrono reading may no be that accurate, due to the fact that this was filmed at almost 8PM.
(There's no enough light, and the light was coming at an angle.)
Never the less, it was fun, however short it was.)

Well, I can say the first thing that would probably happen with this, me and friends is that someone would shoot someone else.

I feel like safety glasses probably aren't good enough here

Now, you gave me some new idea about Youtube video!

The safety glasses are fine, I guess.
(Foam blasters are much safer than Air Soft. And IMHO, a lot more fun.)
Although, I personally wouldn't want to shoot a friend with something like Venturi Mk8, in point blank.

(Again, you are not supposed to aim / shoot at face. Especially, with 200fps+ muzzle velocity blasters.)

I'm way too busy, not enough free time.
Last Sunday, I was too tired, too hot, air quality was bad ... so I was making holster.
I hope I can make a video this weekend.

Homemade shoulder rig for Dessert Pigeon Mk 8

https://youtu.be/LNDixbLsddA


The holster itself is made out of Gorilla tape.
Neodymium magnet for safety strap clasp.
X-shape shoulder strap system is made from 550 paracord (cobra knot).
(The system is loosely based on Galco Miami classic and Jackass shoulder system.)



This is a prototype.
I'll add mag pouch (2-magazine, up side down ("Sony Crockett  in Miami Vice" style), and (probably) make another one.


The video was shot in the office, during today's lunch break.
No lighting.
No color grading.
Very quickly shot and edited, nothing cinematic.

I have to go to work now... too much toys and too little time to play with them !

B-Variant Caliburn. Whopping 50-inch long, shoots half-length darts at 350fps

It's just as big as Barrett M82

Shoots at 363fps (my highest record, with K.Y jelly used as lubricant)

I got this as a (sort of) birthday gift for myself, and it was delivered on my actual birthday.
And, no, I didn't plan it. I didn't even tell the builder about the birthday thing, UNTIL he sent me shipping notification. So,... that's just a coincidence.

The builder (Eric Jones, AKA Misplaced Moose, REALLY cool guy BTW) actually started building this rifle BEFORE  I even placed the order.

That's the photo of his workshop, started printing the parts before I paid ...

Oh, and it did penetrate the two layers of moving blanket I used as back stop.
