Meanwhile Dart Zone is Microsoft, came out of the blue and was at first a laughing stock, but a powerful one, and went on to do one thing, Beat Nerf by targeting hardcore Nerfers.

Sure the pro line is small for now containing what? 4 blasters that I know of yet each one is amazing in its own right.

Even if lipo performance is about the same, it still gives you a rechargeable battery instead of chewing through packs of AAs. Aren't 3s lipos like 11.1v with more current draw available compared to 8 x AAs 12v with lower current draw? When upgrading a stryfe to 7.4v over 6 it gives fps improvement. 11.1v over 12 may give less power with faster spin up and rate of fire due to current draw.

The difference in rev pitch between AAs (eight=12V nominal) and a 3S LiPo (11.1V) makes me think that the current draw of those motors makes the AAs sag HARD.
