Dart Zone NitroShot Full-Length: It’s not even close…

[@notnuffnerf]

I’ll let you guess what I’m permanently running from now on. 🔥

[@100Servings]

This is fascinating, considering there's no venting or holes on the tips. I wonder what the impact is like at high velocity? There's a lot of science to be done. I just got a box, so I guess the boys and I have some research to do over the holidays!

[@peterterry7918]

I do have a use for elite darts. Its pretty good for a short range "shotgun " blast.

[@peterterry7918]

They spread out pretty well.

[@notnuffnerf]

I’ve heard of packing peanuts too! Haha

[@jolemaire6629]

Full lenght darts are not dead! Good review!

[@notnuffnerf]

They certainly are not! 🙏

[@Andygriff1975]

Interesting to hear the positives of the full length Nitroshots. I've mostly heard from higher end players that are running high crush set ups and they don't like them. It's nice to see good results with springers and basic flywheelers.

[@Foamtastic-oc9fu]

I’ve addressed this with two others here, and it’s frustrating because I use these in my custom 38mm cage with Worker Smooths, and they perform exceptionally well. I believe the issue is specifically related to serrated flywheels, particularly metal ones.

[@notnuffnerf]

@@Foamtastic-oc9fuworker smooths here too! I run them on EVERYTHING!

[@pickboy77]

It’s the hard plastic ring behind the head that causes some issues on high crush.

[@Matt-md5yt]

my man, keep it up my friend

[@pbDEMON]

Caveat for the nitroshots: Do NOT use them with metal flywheels. They just jam and instantly shred.

[@Foamtastic-oc9fu]

I don’t think it has anything to do with the flywheels being metal. I think it’s the serrations that come on 95% of all metal flywheels. I’m running 38mm crush with Worker Smooths and they shoot like butter.

[@pbDEMON]

@@Foamtastic-oc9fu If by serrations, you mean knurling, then yes, that would be the issue. However, I can say I don't have this problem with any other darts in the exact same blaster/flywheels.

[@notnuffnerf]

@@Foamtastic-oc9fu You make an excellent point, and while I can’t personally confirm it, as I’ve only ever used Worker smooth wheels in my mods, the theory does make sense. The teeth would likely grip onto the non-flexible discs, potentially leading to issues.

[@PlanetMynd]

Thank you for this thorough evaluation. It helped me decide to use Nitroshot full lengths for the blaster battles that I host.

[@notnuffnerf]

That’s awesome! Let me know if you ever post the battles online.

[@Foamtastic-oc9fu]

I’ve been using these in my modded Stryfe with a 38mm custom cage, and they’ve been performing exceptionally well. I genuinely don’t understand the complaints some people have about them.

[@PlanetMynd]

I LOVE comparison tests and reviews. We don’t have enough of them in the hobby community. Thank you so much! More please.

[@Letsflingfoam]

So glad to see the comparison! I really liked the baseball style accuracy testing!

[@nicholasmazzarella2720]

NNN Wow that was a lot of information. Thanks a ton for taking us through your results. We too enjoy those full length rounds at our local game. Keep up the great work.

[@thebfiaid957]

Good thing I bought one box of that! Thanks for the video, really educational.

[@kelb0y9o20]

I wouldnt call this educational i would go with Informative 😅

[@zachmitchell4616]

Your production setup is really really good. Love the lighting and the side cameras. You've put a ton of work into your craft! Keep up the great work man.

[@Essrayle]

So very glad these exist. I will always be a full-length dart fan and accuracy is king in my book. I'd rather hit it 99% of the time than give it a strong breeze 50%.

[@BJC96]

Useful information and I love the new setup! I've missed some of your recent videos but this is really REALLY good!

[@RyanBlaze]

Super bummed you didn’t include AF waffles. Would have been nice to see if the nitro darts are better or not. Waffles for the win still I suppose!

[@Foamtastic-oc9fu]

In the video, he explained why he chose not to review them. Personally, I’ve had better results with the Chili darts because their slightly smaller heads make them more compatible with pro-level blasters. That said, regular Waffle darts perform well with standard blasters.

[@RyanBlaze]

@ I’ve found that waffle darts work better than chilis with my modded flywheel blasters. Wish he would have included them for sure

[@edgardopereles9966]

@notnuffnerf, I was one waiting you to end that dart review video. 😂 Dart Zone, congratulations! You like Worker are proving to Hasbro. A new type of ammo is a waste of time when there is a "standard" ammo showing it can be optimized and improve.

[@sataki82]

Cool video. Stay blastin´my friend

[@colombia30fusion]

This is great! Also can you review the omnia pro 3 nitroshot

[@notnuffnerf]

That’s next!

[@maritimefoam]

Great video, interesting to see!

Excellent info. I picked up a few containers of Gameface pro short darts on clearance and tried them in some games on the weekend, and they were not as bad as I thought they'd be. With a SCAR though, they were much better. The OG Nexus pro didn't like them very much 😂.

[@notnuffnerf]

I can’t even get those things to run right in my Trion lol. I’m a sucker for a good clearance though 😅

[@dmonhuntr75]

Thankfully I didn't have any of them jam in my Trion. It's such a great blaster.

[@pickboy77]

I think you may have seen a little different results without the pcar. Wide tips like on most full lengths don’t mix well with rifling. Especially on the nitro shot with the plastic ring behind the dart head. The fps would prob be a lot better on all of the darts but the chilis, as their head is ever so slightly smaller than the dart body; which is why their fps wasn’t impacted as much by the pcar.

[@grantponciano9386]

Need a half dart version of this video please!

[@TeabagDeluxe]

Your testing duplicated my results with the X Shot darts. Those are terrible and tend to whirlybird at above 120-130 fps, and surprisingly have lower fps results in flywheelers despite looking like a waffle-style/broad head dart. Still better than Elites though

[@pickboy77]

The heads on Xshot don’t work as well I flywheelers because of how soft and squishy they are. The flywheels don’t grab them as tightly. Like you said though, way better than awful elites!

[@squiggjiggthesquigg1878]

I only own dart zone waffle heads, what are your thoughts on those? I’m seriously considering getting the nitro shot darts though

[@ASMRKlotz]

Have you got your hands on the Gen 3 Omnia Pro yet?

[@notnuffnerf]

Not yet but I’m excited to make the video for it!

[@MrAjusog]

Nitroshot full length and nitroshot+ half lengths are different. The nitroshot full lengths are horrible on high crush flywheels, the orange plastic disc behind the head gets bent and jams the dart into the barrel. Its good for the age range and blasters its intended for, 8+ year olds and associated blasters but not competitive blasters. Botsnblasters had it on his podcast, someone tested fps and it didnt do well. But its perfect for kid events and hvz, and the softer head hits less hard than other full lengths, as intended i suspect.

[@Foamtastic-oc9fu]

As I mentioned to someone earlier, I don’t believe this issue has anything to do with the darts, metal flywheels, or even the “disk” component. I’m running a 2mm higher crush than NNN at 38mm with Worker Smooths, and they perform flawlessly. I suspect the real issue lies with the serrations found on 95% of all metal flywheels. Additionally, did you watch the video? He was shooting the Nitro darts with respectable FPS on 2S, and there didn’t appear to be any jamming. It’s always surprising how quickly a setup failure can lead some individuals to generalize that “the darts are bad.” The problem isn’t with the darts but with setups that lack the versatility to handle multiple types of ammo effectively. A well-optimized setup makes all the difference.
