Dartzone is like "Okay, no one is competing with us So let's compete with ourselves!"

[@michaelfinlay1412]

compitition leads to innovation

[@novaiscool1]

So long as they keep making cosmetic only changes between the blasters I'm happy

[@mrsoisauce9017]

We thought this was gonna change the market. Sad how no one agrees

[@michaelfinlay1412]

@@mrsoisauce9017 dart zone pro blasters have already found a great place in the hobby, the stryker sells very well, the nexus is a great blaster, the aeon is cheap but punchy, and the conquest has a funky mag system

[@outofdarts]

Thanks for the shoutout! We just got the Max Stryker ourselves, and it's really cool that a lot of the existing Nexus mod parts (like the tuning caps) are compatible.

[@mrsoisauce9017]

That’s because they’re essentially the same blaster, but I’m pretty sure u already knew that

[@robertbrunello]

I got mine Friday and the dart refill today, Target employees are better than Wal-Mart! I already love the options to customize like the Nexus Pro. I love red and the performance. Great review!

American Foam took the last Stryker leaving Dr. Flux with the Flip 18. :D

My neighbors hate me for the clack clack constantly coming from my back yard. It's a target nexus pro, and sounds the same. TWICE THE MAD NEIGHBORS! Kidding, my neighbors are old and nice, I really only shoot when someone's mowing or otherwise wouldn't care. Neighbor kids behind me are all kinds of jealous, though

[@stupidhunkofcheese_218]

imagine worrying about the sound of a nerf gun ticking your neighbors off... that sucks man

Got mine today, right before some other kid got the last one. Both looked at each other then back at the Roblox guns then back again and he was like. "Yah I know what's up." Also I saw a DnD bow, interesting...

[@AmericanFoam]

Haha. Awesome. I have the DND stuff coming this week. Looks interesting.

I picked mine up 3 days ago it is a super cool blaster very similar to the nexus pro but I like the Stryker more and it looks far better stock is also very good u could even use a real firearm stock. Even my dad said it was a good buy 👍

Yooo very cool. I love the pump grip, I had to add a bunch of 3D printed stuff to my Nexus to get it like that. Great to see this style and quality of blaster become more available by being in multiple stores.

[@thecappy]

Picked one up and a pack of the 150 max half darts at Target Friday. Can't wait for the mods.

[@LL-wc4wn]

Nice review. So much better than dracs and the other channel that got them early. We can actually see the blaster WITH the parts it comes with..on it! Good job

[@norcalnerfclub3423]

A friend picked me up one today, it's still in the box 'til I do a short review. I was testing his out and was real impressed with the accuracy. Chronograph averaged at 152.4. I gotta tell ya. being born, raised and some what matured in Ohio, I'm totally lovin' the color scheme! I was so happy you mentioned that! I'm totally getting some Buckeye leaf stickers, like on the helmets, for that scope. Reppin' a little in Northern California! Loved the outside range testing. I could almost feel the humidity, lol. Those ranges in that humid air, very impressive. #BuckeyeNation

[@nicholasmazzarella2720]

American Foam Wow what a fantastic review of an fantastic blaster. Keep up the great work.

[@sergeanthuman]

This thing had no business being this cheap and this dope at the same time

[@AllinWhenPlaying]

Dart Zone better start selling in the UK, we've being starved with horrible quality Nerf guns to a point where stock Zuru's are the best choice.

[@HindbaerSnitten]

Another great video from your awesome channel. A big “Thank you” from a fan and fellow adult nerf nerd in Denmark.

[@patrickrowe5781]

Great video. I’ve been keeping my eye out for it and I’ll probably get this one for me and the nexus for my son. I would Really love to see Dart Zone make another horizontal mag blaster like the Conquest but with the mag in the front and... lever action #DartZoneLeverAction . Keep up the great work man

[@AmericanFoam]

Dart Zone lever action would be so rad!

[@SirBrass]

You should contact DZ and tell them that!

[@GCJACK83]

A note about the barrel attachment: It can fire Mega and Rival rounds. Keep in mind you will have to muzzle-load either one.

[@bugzay9996]

Bought it today I was really impressed with it. The mag had almost zero friction and the pump is pretty hard so have to really pull to reload and butt-stock was really comfortable although was pretty bummed out for the scope with fake crosshairs but as a budget gun from target its really nice overall for $59.99 and I really recommend this gun I give it 5 stars.

[@zeroblade6599]

Dang it, all my talons are blue. Now I have to either paint it, wait for a blue version, or get new talon mags

[@rydernord2269]

The blue talons are so sick tho, and they’re painted clear, coop approved

[@ROOKIEStill]

Haven’t been this excited for a blaster in a while . It’s so bad ass

I just got one about 30 minutes ago and I love it already! The clear red talon mags look SOOOO good in it!

[@thelizardking3807]

That’s an impressive group you shot

[@AmericanFoam]

All with a toy scope too. Lol.

[@michaellee4276]

FYI the Stryker adapter and the Nexus Adapter don't completely work with the Gameface Katana mags. They fit and fire the first few darts fine, but the external slider (that moves the follower) bumps into the adapter when you get below 8ish darts. You might be able to fix it by filing the mag slider. Of course, I doubt anyone has more than a couple of these (assuming standard Jet Katana's don't have the problem- I only have the Katana that came with my Gameface Prime.) The adapter + Talons works perfectly in the Gameface Prime: much better than the Worker adapter.

[@Kenthis15]

I immediately noticed the googly eyes and was distracted the entire time lol.

[@darklordofsword]

Nice. Glad I waited. Not giving Walmart more money than I have to is always a bonus.

[@thecoolguy4947]

I just got one for myself and it was worth it 👍

[@bearclaw336]

I really like the gun it is a hard-hitting foam gun. My only beef is they should have better Optics on it because this thing if you give it a chance at does Shoot Straight having a lot of fun with it hope they keep putting out good product

[@countofserenno7605]

Great review!

[@AmericanFoam]

Thank you Count Dooku.

[@TheSybermedic]

I'm sold! Were the replacement short dart packages in your Target? $14.99 for 150 short darts has my attention. Now I'll have a primary to go along with my DZP Mk. II.

[@AmericanFoam]

I haven’t seen them yet but the associate that got the striker out of the back for me said that they should have some early next week so I’ll probably pick up like 1000 then LOL

Very nice looking blaster for the price, and with the attachments I’m definitely seeing many mods. Is it just me or are short darts taking over?

[@sashastewart3175]

I hope short darts start taking over, but that also means that nerf will have a chance to ruin the experience, which wouldn’t be fun

At this point DZ hit gold, they just gotta release a body mod for every style someone could care for (bolt action, ak style body and maybe a few other different styles)

[@cascas1672]

I wonder how Adventure Force/Dart Zone is gonna top the Nexus pro.

[@ApexCyber7366]

Is the suppressor compatible with the nexus?

[@HirakuagaKatsui]

The adventure force dart had a tighter grouping compared to the dart zone darts

[@AmericanFoam]

I’m going to do a more scientific dart comparison as soon as I can get more of the DZ Max darts. It’s just a teeny little bit breezy when I filmed this. I’ll do about 50 rounds of each fired from a bench.

What do you choose between neo rhino 3s or kraken 3s for flywheels motors? (for rapidstrike)

[@AmericanFoam]

I just tend to prefer the krakens and other out of darts motors. Keep in mind that’s just based off of my experience with those motors. I haven’t heard anything negative about the neo rhinos but I haven’t used them yet much either.

How can we stop the metal clang sound with each shot, it's super loud and even if it might hurt the performance I don't really mind. Thinking about reducing the power for hvz. Just the sound is so loud and it's like the blaster is dying (not actually dying) 😅 If anyone knows how to reduce the noise please tell.

[@ihave7sacks]

Cheap blaster is cheap.

[@grulple5863]

@@ihave7sacks nah its not that cheap, it's just they don't use an air restrictor to get more performance. But usually this happens with powerful blasters and it gets a clang

[@SirBrass]

Mod it to be a sealed breech and that should do it. Shooting a dart will then act like an air cushion as the blaster accelerates the dart out of the barrel

[@grulple5863]

@@SirBrass honest question how do you convert something to seal breach? Edit: nevermind I found out it was just brassing the barrel, thank you for the helpful tip
