Hi, I'm Luke. Today on Out of Darts, I'm in love with the Perses. Today on Out of Darts,
we're gonna go over the Nerf Rival Perses. this has quickly become my favorite rival blaster of
all time I think it's the best offering as I already stated in a previous video I've had
a little bit of a chance to go crazy with the 3d designs for the blaster and I'm really excited to
share some of them with you today I'm gonna talk about four different mods and two more upcoming
modded parts they're all 3d printed all available on my shop four of them anyway two again coming
in a couple weeks maybe actually later this week these designs are all based around functional or
organ homages I love the blaster in general but there were a few shortcomings and the first of
those is that it only has a 50 round hopper now obviously you can see on here I have my brand
new expanded hopper this hopper holds 160 rounds it is compatible with stock blasters featuring a
tab that pushes the lock closed that way you can use it on a completely stock blaster like this
one or a modded 3s blaster it is 3d printed and it comes in two parts we shipped them together
already assembled they are snap fit you could glue them if you wanted to but I really don't see the
reason because it's a way that the tabs work on the actual design itself lock the blaster lock
the hopper in place the hopper features a flip top lid which is magnetic so it's got magnets on
the top and bottom I like the magnetic because it stays very well closed the hopper is designed to
only open about 45 degrees so you can use one hand as a third part to a funnel this makes a little
more sense when you've got this on a lanyard but essentially when this is sitting on a lanyard you
can have one hand here cupping the corner and you sort of make this nice little triangle to dump
large handfuls of rounds in now this hopper holds 160 you could cram up to 180 in there but I'm
calling it 160 because anything beyond that is not going to feed well and it makes loading this thing
a breeze one of the downsides of the blaster with the original 50 rounds is that they really needed
to be sort of sorted and filed into the top of that hopper and a feed tray because it was three
nicely stacked columns and those columns of balls not only did you have to hold the hopper out in
front of you like this but you had to then kind of evenly stack them and make sure the lid can still
close this solves that by just letting you dump the balls in I hunt 3s man that thing just rips
now along with making the lid magnetic it is also a modular lid so the lid has a ring and a top two
different parts that screw on to the standard ring here the reasoning for this was that I had several
customers and people on Instagram and on YouTube say that I should make it work with paintball
pods so this is sized identically to a paintball hopper you can dump a full load right into the
hopper and all over the floor works really really well and on top of that I also made it speed feed
compatible so there are these loading gates from a variety of companies I have a few linked on the
product listing these are directly compatible they will lock in and screw right on so you can then
put paintballs rather you can put rifle balls straight into the hopper now unlike paintballs
they are not heavy enough this is going to be one of the comments if I don't say it they are not
heavy enough to dump through these fingers that stop the Lotus stop the balls from falling out
but I find that if you're the type of player that likes to play with say dump pouch or cargo shorts
you can easily shove handfuls in here without opening the lid and keep planned so if you like
to play like I do which is very fast and light the speed feed will allow you to keep on target
shove balls in here as you pick them out of your pouch or you grab them off the ground and it kind
of keeps you very light and mobile but ultimately the choice is up to you I will sell these speed
feeds on the site as well but for now you'll have to purchase those separately ultimately with the
hopper the choice of lid is up to you we offer them with and without lid you can choose many
different colors all four of these products come in 13 plus different 3d printed colors and we'll
be adding more and more to the color library as time goes on the next model I did after the
hopper was a battery door the battery door is just simply a great way to add a 3 s lipo it features a
backplate it's fully it's essentially a square that way the stock battery ejection mechanism
actually works and allows you to quickly eject the battery without having to use a tool to pull it
out the battery door is a pretty straightforward design but it is sort of a necessity if you want
to replace and and go 3 s lipo on your Percy's and the rate of fire and with the capacity increase
its I think it's worth doing the 3s it's a lot of fun my next order of business after that was to
take care of the trigger I believe I mentioned in the original review I do not care for this trigger
it is sort of emulating Real Steel with these set screws that are locking the actual trigger plate
on to the trigger notice I don't know any of the actual terms for these parts in Real Steel sorry
but I found it to be sharp and a little obnoxious and it's also just small for the size of my finger
so I immediately designed a comfort trigger very similar to the Hades trigger that Tariq did for
me on the shop a while back this is printed with a point to layer height for most of the the actual
trigger and then at the surface where you touch it's a point one layer height so it's this nice
smooth feels much better it's a larger surface for average adult hands to hold this blaster and
let's face it a lot of adults are buying these blasters the grip is large it's comfortable it
makes sense for it to work with my large fingers - next up on the design to-do list was to fix this
overly obnoxious large slide I have more than one time caught this on a belt or tack gear or on the
lanyard and ejected the whole hopper onto the ground now you could simply snip this off but
you will have a little piece of exposed metal I thought about just making a cover that you would
put on after you you slip it off but ultimately I decided to make a very slim three printed version
now this allows for very easy ejection I've never had a problem taking this out you'll find that
this Blaster doesn't jam underneath the hopper that frequently so the amount of times that I need
to access this are pretty minimal and so even if I had to do this a couple of times a day or even a
dozen times this very very easy very simple little part screws in with a 10 millimeter included toy
screw and that holds it in place because the stock screw is a little bit too long we are
expanding the print farm here and I'm definitely looking to keep designing and make more and more
3d printed parts because designing is still my favorite part of all of this next up after these
I do have switch plates a lot of people have been requesting them I did them for the Nemesis and I
did them for the Raven and the strife and they've been quite popular so I thought I would make two
for here you also notice this one has a PWM we have a driver board coming for this blaster and
many other blasters as well and lastly I'm working on an angled four grip because personally when I
play the leverage feels a little funny here I just want to hold up here but the sharp angles
of this it really seems like it's meant to have a grip vertical grip like the rival one would would
certainly work but personally for me I want to hold at some sort of angles so I'm working on an
AF G and that should be out in a few weeks as well obviously I've been a little design crazy over the
past couple weeks for any of those that have been watching Instagram you'd see a lot of evidence of
that you can find me over there for sneak peeks for a lot of upcoming projects and anything I
happen to be working on day to day all of these products are already out in the wild thank you
so much for the orders I'm a little shocked at how many hoppers already sold and we actually had to
add a lead time to the website which is something we've never done but we are really happy to be
getting these out in the hands of customers as soon as possible I would love to hear your
thoughts on all four of these designs along with the future for grip and the switch plates if you
have ideas or comments or suggestions I'd love to hear them in the comments because the coolest
thing about 3d printing is that you can always change things later unlike an injection mold
where you make a big run and you come to thousands of units I could simply make a different version
of this at any time. I designed this hopper specifically, so I could see over it comfortably,
and in the end, we may have a version that's larger (that was one thing that was suggested), so
if you think you've got ideas like that, I'd love to hear it down below. Thanks for watching. Don't
forget to Like and subscribe; it really does help out my channel. Until next time, I'm out of darts.
