[REVIEW] Dart Zone Pro MK-3 | Select-Fire BEAST!

[@outofdarts]

While there are some issues with Talon compatibility and full-length consistency out of the box, I'm glad that all reviewers experienced them similarly and it's not a quality control problem.

[@thehollowlingwin]

Oh after looking at your store, think you're going to make a video about the mods you have available especially the ones that fix some of the issues😅

For years you have undoubtedly been the best nerf review channel. Thanks for being so entertaining.

@@Coop772 Hi Coop! I want to know, why do my Ekind waffle darts keep breaking? I’ve already had 3 darts get shredded up in my Scravenger. The heads keep getting ripped off of the foam. Does this ever happen to you, and is there a way to prevent more darts from breaking? Please let me know when you get the chance.

[@enemyflyingtonk2721]

8:22 sounds like a rhinofire with a fast rate of fire

[@Spartan412]

The Talon issue is a matter of its lips gripping the gray pusher cage too tightly, preventing the pusher rod from retracting once it moves forward to fire a dart. You can solve the issue by making snips to the gray cage so that the Talon won't bite the plastic, or buy Out Of Dart's mag adapter 3d printed piece which will prevent the blaster from pulling half length darts back due to the extra feed lip grip

[@Coop772]

My mistake. Thank you for commenting with the explanation.

[@Spartan412]

@@Coop772 You're welcome, overall with a bit of snipping or a 5 dollar order it cures one of the biggest initial gripes!

[@darkstar2682]

Is there also a way to fix full auto awkward firing with full length darts

[@Spartan412]

@@darkstar2682 Not that I'm aware of, perhaps that is caused by the pusher sliding out a full length right under the dart that is being directly pushed out. Or that the gear speeds up momentarily for double feeds

You know, I find it funny because for a long time, DZ was just one of the better " off-brand " companies that was just trying to do things different. A few years ago, if you asked me whats Dart Zone's claim to fame, I would have said their belt-fed blasters. Then, they seen the opportunity of doing dart hoppers, which was a much tougher task than ball hoppers. Seriously, I wonder what would they do with a belt-fed Pro blaster ....

Non adjustable red dots are pretty useless, yeah they can be sighted in but only for 1 distance, i would of preffered 5$ off the price tag and some built in small irons.

[@ZakLeek]

I love how advanced this blaster is! The fact that it's got an XT-60, a variable firing mechanism, and brilliant performance with AAs makes this so innovative and I think it'll be a real gamechanger. Thanks for the brilliant review Coop, happy foam-flinging! 🧡💜💙

[@sepiarain]

Easily the best review of this blaster so far. The targeting inconsistency is because there's no real rifling and the more velocity you add, the more pronounced the aerodynamic variables the darts have to cope with. The way to reduce this is adding spin to the darts. This will be possible with something like a worker scar rifling attachment, but it will require some thought to integrate it, whether something can be made to fit in the existing mussel perhaps?! Bradley Phillips recently demonstrated the massive impact the correct barrel and rifling can have on high velocity sealed breach dart blasters (sniper style). Think it was to dial in his scope on a worker swift.

[@benlam419]

Scar barrels don’t work on flywheels cause there’s no air pressure. Dart type plays a way larger role in accuracy. DZ waffles are the best

[@brentfry5540]

Some flywheel cages tilt and add angle so the spin helps the darts be more accurate. Can't use scar barrels on flywheels. At least I have never seen or heard of anyone making that work.

Quite funny that “knock offs” have become the much better option to nerf blasters.

You cannot learn to mod for much less money. The tools to mod a stryfe/spectrum cost over $50. Then the stuff you put in a 150 fps stryfe cost $70. The blaster is $20-$30 new. The Lipo and Charger stuff is over $65 (a top rechargeable 8 AA setup is $35 and can be used for far more things). Lipos have inconveniences AAs don't. If you want just one 150 fps flywheeler this is much cheaper and easier and doesn't require Lipo care.

[@c3pu333]

My best guess would be that with full length darts, dart #2 somehow gets dragged with dart #1 so they shoot right after the other without the push rod going trough a full cycle. So by the time the push rod comes back for dart #2 it was already fired, so it needs to go trough another cycle to catch dart #3.
