[REVIEW] PROTEAN The Perfect Nerf Flywheel Blaster? (A Modular Takedown 3D Printed Blaster)
Today we are reviewing the Protean by Flygonial. This is a 3D-printed Nerf blaster that allows you to swap out flywheel, cages, pusher, assembly, stocks, and more. This will enable you to go from a sub-100 FPS blaster to a nearly 300 FPS blaster, or a geared semi-auto pusher to a select fire solenoid. This flywheel blaster can virtually be anything you want it to be with just a few printed parts and the swap of a few pins. This makes it perfect for any Nerf event you attend. Hope you enjoy the video and let me know your thoughts in the comments.

    Hi man good mod I was wondering if you can help me my hammerstorm for some reason does not prime well It half primes instead of full primes meaning that the priming hammer after pulling it all the way the hammer rests at the middle and not the end making the dart just pop out of the blaster. So i was wondering what could I do to fix it and how the catch mechanism works and why it goes half way

    It’s not that chrono’s are inconsistent / inaccurate / variable. It’s that they can’t read foam dart ammo consistently, due to the nature of the ammo. Chrono’s aren’t designed to read foam dart velocities. 🤓

    Thanks for reviewing! It's clear you've put more thought and effort in than I really even expected, with yourself having run the blaster in a war already and also building and testing various configurations (from the HvZ spec to the BB ultrastock spec, PCAR to two different BCARs). On the BCAR being tight: it's one of my own biggest gripes too, I didn't realize just how tight it was until people had already put together their own flywheel cages, as it was unfortunately my first BCAR design. I probably should have made a change back then, but by now, so many people have built out cages and it doesn't feel fair to them to rug pull compatibility with a new, wider BCAR design. 3x6x3 bearings are something a local to me has tried out as well, and seeing your experiences with it, that might push me over the edge to change the BOM to 3x6x3 bearings. Getting better velocity consistency is vital in my book, especially in competitive where you often only have someone's head to shoot at and velocity spread would make the difference between having a good shot at getting a hit or just needing to hope you get lucky. Will be writing down that the PCAR seems like the better performer for minimizing velocity loss. I had a beta version that was tighter, longer in length, and twisted. It bled the most velocity by far, bringing a 205~ dual Kepler build down to 170~, and I designed the current version to minimally affect FPS as a result. However, since then, most of the feedback I've heard on the PCAR has just amounted to "it seems like it works" and this is a bit more useful to know than just that. Also interesting on the darts seeming to spin, maybe they're just whirling a bit (but still staying stable)? The longer (and loose) muzzle device being weird with the 2-stage variant is something I kind of forgot about until now, there haven't been many builds. My thought process was to allow you to use the same muzzle devices between the single and dual-stage variants, but that might be naively optimistic. Shorter 2-stage variants are a consideration, and they'd still work in a single-stager if you're willing to undo the front pin to make it loose enough to shake the attachment out. Other details: the solenoid variant, which is in open beta, has a lot more space inside the grip for miscellaneous electronics/MOSFETs. Now that you mention it, the same thing would be a good modification to the geared pusher.

    I look at mods like this and ask myself "is it worth the effort and expense?". Your replacing the guts of a blaster, changing it's basic properties, and what you end up with is performance that can be equalled by existing products. My guess is that, like in many hobbies, sometime in the future, Nerf collectors will be looking for the rarer blasters in stock form. Ultra are produced in smaller numbers than most, so may be worth keeping hold of.

    Great Video Naptown! I have assembled 8 of these now, and I dont follow the build guide, I do the trigger last. I start with the mag well secton first and loosely bolt them into one half of the shell install the linear rails, then bolt on the front bulkhead then do the plunger system... Got the build time down to 30 min. Dont use any loctite on the shell to bolt it down, its spring loaded, you do all the screws up loosely and once they are all in then do then up tight. The plunger tube issue has been addressed. Only use blue or purple loctite, so its not premanant. I have one that had the same issue with one being really tight on the plunger tube, and it wouldnt come out... I primed the blaster upright, and had a very loose dart fall into the plunger system when I accidently opened the breach (I was single loading during testing). So i had to take the rear block for the plunger tube. Undo the priming bar at the front, and slide the guts of the system out to remove the dart that was preventing me from closing the breach. So you dont need the tube to be removeable to clear an issue like this. Good lubrication for this blaster is Inox MX6.

    HASBRO don't want to produce "high performance" Nerf blasters for what is actually a tiny percentage of the overall market. It's a costly endeavour, and there are already several big companies and many small ones competing in that niche. Meanwhile, parents don't want young kids or pets getting hurt, or things being knocked over and damaged by wayward darts when kids are playing with toys. Hasbro don't want lawsuits because a child loses an eye. They already offer more adult oriented products in the form of Rival, Hyper, Ultra and Gelfire.
