The backpack holds 500. You can get offbrand darts from Amazon, and many perform better than official ones. I purchased 600 darts for like $30 total iirc.

MOAB KIT - The Ultimate 3D Printable Dart Blaster Project STL Files & Hardware Kit for your ingenious 3D-printing project: a fully functional Foam Dart Blaster that fires 50 darts per second!

His kickstarter page has more info. I have wanted an m134 dtyle5 blaster like this to exist since I was a teenager, so I'm absolutely thrilled it's finally a thing. I can vouch this thing is seriously the real deal. Highly recommend checking it out.

The whole kit is extremely well thought out. The build process takes a number of hours, but it was genuinely fun and well explained. The build was surprisingly easier and more straightforward than I expected. The 3 milestones helped chop it up into 3 evenings of assembly.

The mechanics inside operate like a real m134 minigun, complete with a shell delinking and ejection system. It has 6 rotating independent firing mechanisms on a rotating cam, just like the real deal. The engineering on this thing is absolutely insane.

I had the privilege of beta testing Gatling Tommy's "Mother of All Blasters" kit. The MOAB fires 50 nerf darts per second (yes, 3000rpm) using its 6 rotating barrels, from a 500 round backpack. More info 🧵

That is literally what it is

Who am I gonna see at Open Sauce this year?

Biggest CRT in the world

Well that was quite the sight to behold. (At VCF SW in Dallas)

The amazing Sony KX-45ED1 in the flesh.

Fun first day at VCF in Dallas. Lots of people showed up and stopped by. Looking forward to seeing more faces this weekend.

I'll be there all day tomorrow (Saturday), as well as Sunday afternoon. Hope to have someone to keep the TV running while I'm absent Sunday morning!

Still a bit off. Gonna wait to really dial it in until I move it out of the parents garage into where I live next

Thanks to the efforts of the DFW retro computing community, I will be showcasing the mythical KX-45ED1 at Vintage Computer SouthWest in Dallas this weekend. Hope to see you there!

if switch 2 is so good, how come there's no switch 3?

Such a shame Nintendo doesn't support backwards compatibility with the best Switch accessory

Yes

Made a second-channel video going over the project, showing it working, and explaining updates and progress. youtu.be/WP54d7D57Aw

I'm excited to finally release the first public version of WavePhoenix, my open-source implementation of a Nintendo WaveBird receiver - github.com/loopj/waveph...

Someone at Nintendo saw the scalpers and was like "yo what if we did that"

I ordered 3. Not even joking.

It's still crazy to me that nobody has developed a GBA e-reader "flash cart" style ROM hack of the e-reader ROM where you can pop up a menu to select from a list of "cards" on your SD card to have the e-reader "scan". Would make lots of obscure content way more accessible.

Tonight I attempted a method to add fake scanlines to lumadoub using only i2c commands to try to turn the DACs on and off every line.

Nope, not gonna happen. It's just not fast enough. Guess I'll have to explore other methods that involve additional components.

These 2 chips together will likely cost a comparable amount to the 1981
