hello i'm brett and i'm wearing a different hat because it is sunny outside in fact it's
a hundred degrees fahrenheit really bad weather to be playing outside with marshmallows but that
never stopped us and it will not today this is me i'm pretty excited to start filming this new
video and full of optimism like nothing will go wrong but sometimes things do go wrong let's set
the scene shall we in june i released a video called hot dog thunder an experiment to see how
effectively i could fire various sized hot dogs out of my spring thunder by gdop and breaking
wind by seared nerf some discoveries were made but testing day ended up being all laughs and a great
time with friends over a silly concept it made hours of editing later much more enjoyable and
i was happy to see that many people who watched the video left similarly enthusiastic comments
naturally this led to the question would there be a follow-up more comments and 10 seconds of
research later i had my decision marshmallows now launching marshmallows is an even less
original idea than launching hot dogs there are actual blasters on the market that fire large
or small marshmallows and modders have been converting those blasters to fire foam darts
instead for years but i thought this would be a modern take on marshmallow blasting with newer
hobby grade blasters showing their potential and there'd be one more twist or spin to all
this i had some vortex ideas as well this would be the pinnacle of food launching technology
but immediately things began to unravel turns out vortex is a lot more picky about its ammo
than we anticipated oreos and ritz crackers are too large but even when scaled down to a perfect
nilla wafer diameter none of the ammo structural integrity survived the launching arm present in
most torsion spring-powered vortex blasters there are vortex blasters that operate differently
and might have proved more effective but this testing was already very messy and given vortex's
growing scarcity not worth gunking up perfectly good blasters so the vortex was out for the day
fortunately we knew many marshmallows would fit almost any standard nerf dart diameter breach
nothing was going to stop that testing well this was the last weekend of june
which became the hottest weekend of the year thus far at 100 degrees fahrenheit marshmallows change
metal barrels change chronographs stop and human beings sweat for those more familiar with my
channel you might recognize that this was the same day that i recorded my nerf hyper tourney tick
tock submission that was in the late afternoon when it finally cooled down and this well this
was what we recorded in the morning we've tested already that some of these marshmallows fit
any elite size dart firing blaster very very well if you find the right marshmallow because
some of these are very different in size oh and the heat affects them too so some of them
fit really well and some others won't it's a bit of trial and error we're gonna get some
chronograph data because these things actually fly really far and they shotgun really well too
and we can fire them into each other's mouths don't believe me we'll find out now
i have here a predator not that kind and uh i put a breach in it this right here is a busby predator
uh shut the breech o-ring i janked a caliber pusher and i guess we're doing this
have you tried aiming over the chronograph have you tried all right oh that's a good fit 85 117 oh
81 120. beat that garbage 52 all right
this is a jspb zert i don't know what zerk stands for i think it's an acronym sounds like bert 51
66 and they all jumped out oh no yeah some of them they're inconsistent some
are big some are small some are melting in my pocket and don't fit oh my god
and that was that but hey this thing shoots half darts pretty well it's not marshmallow
we don't care about half darts though i'm jessie and this is the skewer betta version
by taffy and i think it's going to be the best blaster to shoot these marshmallows
do you have evidence for that it has a kiryaka barrel that's all you need to know
111 150. get lost so tell me about your single loading technique are you saying
it doesn't work in a magazine hold on the uh chronograph i think is too hot it just says error
so what am i seeing here a very very gooey ram gooey i think if we actually put darts
in here now it will help with the seal i'm going to try it let's try this
marshmallows are a curse or a blessing do not take them for granted oh
no at least it's got a good seal so oh gosh slightly cursed
adventure force pro dart that's uh oh oh god that is really sticky hold on
go put it in there no no oh no no don't fire that
you're gonna have to take that whole thing apart
so you're front loading it now only yep it's the safer thing to do
yep otherwise you're gonna gunk up that ram and you're gonna be in very very much trouble
it affects your 69 wow one up 130 130. all right i got one in here what are you testing
now links with an 18.5 spring uh i pulled the barrel out floated it and put it back in so
what i got the record what no way what is it what is this that is not possible
331 what no way 331 what no wait yeah i want to see a redo dang it to be fair i've picked out
like a perfect marshmallow so let's see if we can do it again jose how are you feeling about your
recent win you're on the top of the leaderboard now uh not surprised to be honest you know 500.
let me have this tell me about your marshmallow selection criteria what does it mean why does it
matter and how can people copy you so what you do is you put it in the barrel and you're like
oh that's a good almost a dark that's a good marshmallow that's pretty much my car serious
i'm not a very scientific bruh you know i mean springer life you know it's hot out here bruh oh
it's not 331. but it is still higher than jesse's highest oh oh oh my lowest oh
sorry 161 i got this i got this don't mind me
196. wow two could play this game and i'm not even using your
high up spring if i put your spring in this blaster i don't think i could 184.
so the tip is to get a nice marshmallow get in there blow all the way down jesse's getting much
better consistency of high performance jose's got the highest random uh it's not random
it's pretty random it's not sitting there yeah she doesn't have to take apart her
blaster each time so far wow okay 199. so i'm not saying i lost writing on this but
all right
holy smokes yeah 281 see
it's free real estate hello welcome back to the spring thunder channel where we
fire things through a spring thunder that were never meant to be fired
i'm loading single marshmallows into this round i have not actually chronographed this yet so i am
hopeful that i can get maybe 200 fps not totally sure but uh let's find out
there's a lot riding on this competition i didn't realize it was gonna be so heated
dang it 160.
147 around that 150 mark so probably game legal oh that was two it called it 185
yeah i guess proof is actually nice oh [ __ ] i get to grab that now 199
all right last one
so it definitely works but with darts i mean this thing will do like 240. so we're only seeing
a slight decrease in marshmallows which means that there is some serious untapped potential
when we start loading these things up with more than one and i'm excited about that
okay the spring thunder has been loaded with three shells each containing four mini marshmallows
i hope they actually stayed inside because i can't actually be certain
and if it gunks up the inside that's just going to be a lot more fun
for later oh look there this is fine don't worry about it remember don't actually put
your finger inside we're going to redo that now we're going to try the spring thunder
with multi-shot marshmallow rounds i have four marshmallows in three of these shells i don't
know if they're actually going to stay inside all the way through but by golly we gonna try perfect
next
oh i know what happened what happened when it fell this went too far back so the shells aren't able
to actually engage properly because it landed on the barrel so the barrel got pushed forward
and i did not register that now we're trying spring thunder multi shot marshmallow madness i
have three shells loaded with probably about four marshmallows unless they've fallen out already
it should work all right assuming that they actually chamber properly i'm curious what this
will look like hopefully the marshmallows aren't going to gunk up this blaster
so
apparently those last ones only had two
and i see where they went lovely and that was what we got we retreated to the basement until
it was cool enough later in the day to get a little hyper i thought about finding a day to
finish these marshmallow style experiments but it seems like starting over from scratch would
yield the best results like waiting until it's late fall or early winter you know when
it's actually cooler but i didn't want to delete these clips because like the hot dog thunder video
there are some good memories here that i will look back on in a few years time and i'll remind myself
that i convinced my friends to film outside in a hundred degree weather and destroy their blasters
with molten marshmallow all for a half-baked video idea doesn't make me look great when i say it
so thanks again to ryan jesse and odin of silver fox industries for letting us use their space
along with dr flux and luchathor for helping out with everything else and thank you for watching
