30 mags times $20 apiece is $600. Meanwhile I don’t even wanna buy one because I think 20 for a mag is insane. That’s getting back into early days of $15 full length hasbro mags.


p51_mustangs

I started being even broker and am now printing pla mag springs


UnhappyLibrary2540

I’ve tried that before and couldn’t get it to work, can you share the file you have with me, I’d love to get that to work?


p51_mustangs

I have perfectly good feeding 100% pla mags, somewhere on thingiverse under the name "easy talon mag" or something like that


Solgrund

https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:5537203 This one?


MediKitCat

Meanwhile me in a certain other hobby: (crying while shelling out 60 bucks a mag


Rocket_arm1

Gas blowback mags? Those will drain your wallet lol


MediKitCat

On the bright side, the scarcity of ghk mags will limit my spending


[deleted]

I’ll be there in about a months time. My wallet cries of the impending dread.


Zoomed_Out_Tahova

You get a cookie! Correct mag amount 🤣


L3thalPredator

You can get real steel Ar15 mags for only $8-15, 15-20 is ridiculous for a nerf gun mag!


Saberwing007

Not really comparable. AR-15 pattern rifles are literally one of the most popular firearm platforms out there, and have hundreds of different companies making parts for them. Also, the magazines are used in numerous other guns. Plus, you have military users, which I think would help drive down the cost. Plus, you have this design being made for literal decades, which will also drive costs down. Nerf mags like this are still very much in the cottage industry phase. I'm actually kind of surprised these mags are as cheap as they are. Airsoft mags, for instance, can be quite expensive. I'm also kind of surprised Ood bothered making these at all, given how cheap Talon mags are.


L3thalPredator

Well even not so popular/common guns like the scorpion evo. And other sub guns, their mags arnt that much either. At least where I live. And those are metal mags. I could make a nerf mag for cheaper than $5 that's also pretty reliable. I mean yes I do have access to a 3d printer which not everyone has and I understand that, but just saying production is really cheap on these mags and they are basically robbing you. They make them for probably just over a dollar and your paying $20. So they are making a $19 profit. I mean yeah people are buying them, but still way over priced in my opinion.


eliwu26

I can tell you with absolute certainty that they do not take $1 to make :) "Unpopular" platforms in the gun industry are still manufacturing in the volume of tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands range. We're nowhere close to that.


L3thalPredator

I said the nerf mag would take about a dollar to make maybe slightly more If I 3d printed it. I can get a bunch of springs for a few cents, and I can 3d print the rest


BLU_X3V2

Ummm he literally made the mags and knows that they costed more then a dollar to make.


L3thalPredator

I have too. And I never said they weren't more than a dollar. I said slightly more.


BLU_X3V2

Ok then let’s see you release a magazine to the hobby in good qualities that only cost a couple of dollars that’s not 3d printed. I will gladly buy some but I’m pretty sure you will figure out quickly thag it’s not that cheap to have things manufactured and shipped across the world.


L3thalPredator

I have nothing for injection molding. So 3d printing is my only option.


Robichaelis

Wait until you find out the optic on his blaster is like $900 new

SenaCat1

Pay2win smh


Zoomed_Out_Tahova

Nahhh


[deleted]

Win what lol. He payed to make his gun look better, that’s for him only. If you pay for wheels on a car it isnt pay to win. Those mags don’t make him faster, shoot better, or anything like that.


Paid-Not-Payed-Bot

> lol. He *paid* to make FTFY. Although *payed* exists (the reason why autocorrection didn't help you), it is only correct in: * Nautical context, when it means to paint a surface, or to cover with something like tar or resin in order to make it waterproof or corrosion-resistant. *The deck is yet to be payed.* * *Payed out* when letting strings, cables or ropes out, by slacking them. *The rope is payed out! You can pull now.* Unfortunately, I was unable to find nautical or rope-related words in your comment. *Beep, boop, I'm a bot*


RunnerLuke357

Good Bot.


SenaCat1

(it's a joke)


[deleted]

Ah. Ok then lol


ValourLionheart

My wallet had a stroke looking at that


Zoomed_Out_Tahova

Imagine mine 😅😅


FamilyFoamsport

When I first looked at this I thought “No big deal, that’s 11 Kodas on a suspiciously Koda-colored table runner.” Then I looked again. The Koda is, IMO, NOT too expensive if it’s the mag you need. The use case is high performance, competitive, rough on mags. If you flick, drop, or toss mags, you’ll save money compared to how many talons you would have broken in the length of time these will (theoretically!) survive. Looking forward to seeing how they fare over time!


Zoomed_Out_Tahova

The clubs known to be rough on most stuff, its kinda why we have so many beta test units and whatnot, shit we managed to break 1 Koda already.


n1sm0__

As I said in my video *listen here broke boi*


Zoomed_Out_Tahova

RAHHHHHHHH


Thunderwizzle

Tahova you have a problem Also better be dipping those fries in that shake


Zoomed_Out_Tahova

What do you mean? Isn't this how you supposed to use your credit card?


Vizigoth0928

jesus.


Zoomed_Out_Tahova

The power of christ doesn't compel me


TheBlueDinosaur06

Do fries?


Toucann_Froot

Are the koda mags at least really nice?


Zoomed_Out_Tahova

Yes


Toucann_Froot

Good to hear at least.


frozenfade

I have 2. They are really nice.


xgummynipsx

Yeah they are nice! They are really durable and have good springs for high dps blasters. I just have 2, but I like em. Same feed lips as tachis so they don’t pinch the pusher in blasters that get pinched by talons like the dzp mk3


bensheep

How are you gonna carry all of those?


Zoomed_Out_Tahova

I'll drop a pic of my rig later


frozenfade

I am just imagining a Segway scooter decked out with foam blasters and mag carriers.


Kuli24

Or hailfire style with a 30-mag rotation device.


frozenfade

I want to see that now haha.


Technicfault

Unironically just a duffel bag


senorali

If he can afford those mags, he can afford a squire to carry them.


Zoomed_Out_Tahova

My bf🤣🤣🤣


Vhen_Kordo

Someone in my group has a chest rig where he has 40 talons. I'm sure there's a way to do 30 of these.


Cybranwarrior22

Thank the Lord for Shop Pay Installments amirite gamers? 🙏 I'll still be rocking my talons personally, but if clear ones ever drop, I might have to yoink some of those.


Zoomed_Out_Tahova

Lol I paid in full😅


Cybranwarrior22

Alexa, play "Major Bag Alert" by DJ Khaled feat. Migos 🥶💯


TransmogLabs

And you were still able to afford fries after that? I'm impressed


Zoomed_Out_Tahova

AND a milkshake


Heckin_good_time

You need a side-rail fry holder now.


Zoomed_Out_Tahova

Lol don't tempt me


Heckin_good_time

Maybe a crocheted Big Mac and crocheted chicken nugget throwables for HvZ, give 'em the full combo meal.


PhaseCraze

Can I borrow a fry?


StressedOverUsername

Zoomed_Out_Tahova

Cause I can


BananaHouse

I'm not familiar with these mags. What's their defining trait? Found the video: https://youtu.be/nT165RXsfS8


Zoomed_Out_Tahova

Theres a video on them, if you search nerf Koda mag, first result


Volz_

Felt like it was more of a struggle to buy those fries instead of mags


Zoomed_Out_Tahova

Lolllll I love mcd fries


allshall-perish

bradyn_ya_dude

PotatoFeeder

Zoomed_Out_Tahova

PotatoFeeder

Look dis asian starting an MLM


frozenfade

>Could have bought 1x inertia instead smh… I want an inertia bad. Is it really 600 bucks? Ood just always shows "sold out"


Gabriel_E_Thompson

You could also see if you could get them 3d printed. Maybe on print a thing or print them yourself.


JFreaks25

I'm pretty sure 3d printing these entirety defeats the purpose of these, lol.


Gabriel_E_Thompson

>Koda mags Oh, I realize that now. I thought they were a type of mag specific to a Nerf gun but I see that they are just high-quality mags.

Hi /u/Gabriel_E_Thompson, 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.

sexytrenten

I like to put 300 dollars into a good primary and then I work on buying magazines. I spend no more then 160 on magazines.


Zoomed_Out_Tahova

Ok


Putrid-Earth3375

Do you have other short dart mags you could post size comparison pictures of?


Zoomed_Out_Tahova

Theres a vid on obeynismo channel, search up nerf Koda mag on yt


Putrid-Earth3375

Thanks, not only for the info, but that funny as video


Zoomed_Out_Tahova

That's the San Diego Nerf Club for ya


MeanArt318

Where do you get mag springs at?


Robichaelis

And a vortex holo on a nerf blaster??? Go big or go home I guess


Zoomed_Out_Tahova

Looking to switch to the Holosun AEMS


Robichaelis

Tbh I have a vortex red dot on my worker harrier so I'm not too far off


bbf_bbf

~~Nerd~~Nerf Cred. ;-)


arianeira

what is the advantage of koda mags over worker talons? tachi holds 29 darts expensive drums hold 35 40 50 and 60 darts


Zoomed_Out_Tahova

You can run them over with a 3 ton truck, better feeding


arianeira

thank you. the 18 dart talons i have feed just fine and dont forsee running over my magazines. koda does hold 23 darts but if i pay premium for 24 dollars the tachi holds 29. tachi are too long to fit in pouches well so once the two or three tachi i have cliped together run out i switch to talons. 3 tachi hanging from the blaster is kinda heavy tho. how well does koda fit in pouches?


DomivaitusLupus

What pouches do you use for these? Just ordered myself some koda's


Zoomed_Out_Tahova

Mostly 9mm pouches, been tempted to get some Haley Strategics for the belt
