GatlingTommy - 3D Printed MOAB Nerf Blaster GatlingGun at FormNext

Check it out here: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/gatlingtommy/moab-kit-the-ultimate-3d-printable-dart-blaster-project (I make nothing off this link - it's just freaking awesome) What happens when someone takes a Nerf blaster and refuses to accept the idea of “fast enough”? In this video I sit down with Tommy, the creator behind one of the most absurd, over-engineered, and genuinely impressive 3D printed projects I’ve seen in years – a VM Nerf-style blaster that doesn’t just push the limits of what people normally mod, but throws those limits straight out the window. This isn’t about squeezing a few extra darts per second out of a single barrel. This thing uses six internal firing mechanisms, rotating cams, motor control, a custom PCB, and a fully configurable electronic system to achieve rates of fire that feel closer to a minigun than a toy. If you’ve ever wondered what modern 3D printing enables when someone treats it like a real mechanical engineering problem instead of a weekend mod, this is it. The entire system is designed to be 3D printed in PLA, with only specific components changed for reliability and safety, and it’s been refined over years into something that regular people can actually build themselves. Not just print, but assemble without it becoming a miserable scavenger hunt for springs, screws, and incompatible hardware. We talk about why this project ended up becoming a full-time job, how the Kickstarter evolved from selling assembled units to a fully documented DIY kit, and why so much effort went into making the build experience feel more like LEGO than IKEA. There’s also a deep dive into the electronics, the display, firing modes, configurable burst settings, rate-of-fire control, and the frankly ridiculous belt-fed backpack system that holds hundreds of darts while emptying itself in seconds. If you grew up watching films like Terminator 2: Judgment Day and secretly wanted to live out your inner Arnold Schwarzenegger fantasy – but with foam darts instead of legal consequences – this will absolutely unlock something deep in your brain. There’s also a moment that genuinely surprised me, involving a prototype capable of pushing performance so far it earned a Guinness World Records title. Beyond the spectacle, this video is really about what happens when 3D printing, electronics, and obsessive iteration collide. It’s about how creators turn passion projects into viable products, why community-driven hardware matters, and how far you can go when you design something properly instead of hacking around the edges. If you’re into 3D printing, engineering, Nerf mods, cosplay builds, Warhammer crossover ideas, or you just enjoy seeing someone build something wildly unnecessary to an absurdly high standard, this one’s for you. I didn’t back this project before seeing it in person. I absolutely am now. As always, thanks for watching, and a huge thank you to the channel members supporting the work behind the scenes.
