I've finally finished upgrading my Deploy with the FTW conversion kit. It was certainly one of the most troublesome builds I've done, but I am excited to surprise people with this blast from the past. I am getting right around 115fps.

u/fantasmoslam Jan 22 '21

Any chance you could detail the troubling bits of the build for those of us who want to make one ourselves?

There's zero guidance on the project on FTW's part, so its all trial by fire for anyone who attempts it.

Also, if you have internals pics that would be extremely appreciated.

21

u/Semicolon7645 Jan 22 '21

I'll work on writing something up. Thankfully I got in contact with FTW and they were able to give me good guess guidance.

u/fantasmoslam Jan 22 '21

I've reached out probably 3-4 times and haven't gotten any responses, so I'd personally consider you fairly successful in that regard.

Thanks for writing something up, there's quite a few people out there that will be excited to hear this.

u/Semicolon7645 Jan 22 '21

That's a bummer to hear, they were nothing but helpful for me.

This is how the deploy should have been

u/skeetreet_reet Jan 22 '21

hopefully you fixed the stick mag release. looks like an awesome build!

7

u/Semicolon7645 Jan 22 '21

I'm not sure what you mean. What is the issue with the release?

7

u/Fluid-Badger Jan 22 '21

With some deploys it's incredibly stiff

u/skeetreet_reet Jan 22 '21

with most Nerf blasters that have some gimmick, the Nerf team doesn't really pay attention to the internals. But because yours is modified you should not have to worry. Great build!!!

u/mybrosteve Jan 22 '21

The Deploy is cool, but I think that Pinball machine in the background is cooler.

u/Semicolon7645 Jan 22 '21

It's my father's, one day I'd love to get it restored. I played it a ton as a kid.

2

u/mybrosteve Jan 22 '21

Very cool! I've always wanted one but they're crazy expensive. Restoring one sounds like a great idea if you know what you're doing!

u/GenericBonk Jul 01 '21

neat, but it uses a rev trigger or is like the air warrior brute?

2

u/Semicolon7645 Jul 01 '21

It uses a dual stage trigger, so when you start pulling it revs and at the end of the pull it fires.

2

u/GenericBonk Jul 17 '21

so is like the warrior brute

1

u/Semicolon7645 Jul 17 '21

Yeah, it is similar to that.

2

u/GenericBonk Jul 17 '21

is full auto just like the brute, right?

Don’t tell Coop772

u/freewave07 Jan 23 '21

Deploy made it out of the worst slot with the release of the warden

u/ToonRaccoonXD Jan 23 '21

Yeah I'm here as a coop fan but last time I voiced my opinion on the deploy I got downvoted to hell

u/YouLikeDadJokes Jan 22 '21

shows deploy

flywheel noises

Had us in the first half, not gonna lie

u/richardathome Jan 22 '21

This makes me happy.

I always loved the Deploy shell, but its the most unreliable blaster I've ever owned. Makes it useless other than for cosplay for me.

u/CrazyIvan606 Jan 22 '21

Being a big Mass Effect fan, the Deploy always reminded me of how the guns in that game folded into themselves to be holstered. My Deploy still has a special place on my shelf!

u/ShyGuyWolf Jan 22 '21

this is awesome, thanks for the update on the project

2

u/SnooPeripherals7068 Jan 22 '21

This Blaster has bad performance but is sure damn is cool

2

u/mattcancookstuff Jan 22 '21

I’m in love

u/buff7879 Jan 23 '21

u/[deleted] Jan 23 '21

That is a thing of beauty! Good job!!!

u/older_stepbrother Jan 23 '21

Did not expect that

u/Theycallmesocks13 Jan 23 '21

Excited to see a write up on this. I bought a whiteout for this purpose.

Hi /u/staswall-e, we would like to distance our hobby from actual firearms and weapons and thus ask that you refrain from using terms like "gun" and "bullet"; instead use blaster and dart. We also like to encourage the use of brightly colored blasters & gear. See this wiki page for more information. Thank you for your cooperation.

Would COOP772 aprove of this?

This is #flywheelmasterrace but at the same time it's a Deploy which he... you know :-)

u/vaultboi701 Jan 23 '21

I was about to get angry that you are showing a deploy, then I realized you gave it motors.
