[REVIEW] Dart Zone Max Stryker | ABSOLUTE POWERHOUSE

[@itsseanl]

This is probably gonna sound ridiculous, but I found your channel last night while looking for a long-range solution to kill bugs. Specifically camel crickets. If you've never seen them before, they're absolute hellspawn demon bugs, and about once or twice every month I have the misfortune of running into one in my apartment. I'm extremely happy to report that this thing is fully capable of exploding them with a well placed shot. Thank you for this gift, dudebro

Really hoping they make a budget version of the MK-3 that costs around $50

[@melmorris3023]

The adventure force spectrum is around 2o bucks and is basically their budget mk-3. I would love a $50 mid tier flywheeler that compliments the Max Stryker though.

[@vinayakkhanna8303]

@@melmorris3023 yes a blaster similar to this in every way and a flyweelar would be great

[@Lankythepyro]

Here's hoping they do a spectrum that hits 150fps shortly. It'd probably be semi-auto only though I'd guess

[@fernandosantiago8872]

Yes an Adventure force MK-3 select-fire gun that propally wouldn't shoot as fast would be a very good budget blaster

[@jjshook4183]

Flywheels that go over 120ish FPS are hard on darts. The fact that the MK3 can and for only $130 Is budget price. But a half length only smog that hits 120 for around $50 would be insanely cool.

[@matthewhuff7334]

One thing Coop didn't mention (And I didn't notice until I looked at the instructions, which I've just been used to ignoring for Nerf): It actually does also have a jam reset button, its just set within the top rail and very nondescript. They also include 2 replacement O-rings, kept on the sides of the stock! Very professional of them.

[@jonathanchisholm3319]

Wow didn't realize the o rings! A very neat addition!

[@mr.deathly2105]

I just wrote a whole comment on the o-rings. Lmao Also, the reset can be pressed with the iron sights, scope, mags, mag adapter, and maybe even your finger if you have small hands!!!

[@ldcommando1616]

I have one of these and it's one of the best blasters I own. My only two complaints are 1) The ridiculous cheek well of the stock makes it impossible to use the iron sights. 2) The picatinny rail on top is compatible with real-steel attachments but the little rail hidden under the pump grip isn't.

[@michaellee4276]

Are you sure about the rail under the pump grip? I put a vertical grip on it and it worked great. It wasn't a real steel accessory, but it said it was Standard picatinny compatible.

[@melmorris3023]

Out of darts has a low power spring that I highly recommend to bring the FPS down to around 100 fps for stock class nerf. Plus its only one screw at the back of the buffer tube to change so you can swap back and forth

[@lukiferbrutality1134]

I ordered this on target online and it arrived today! Very fitting since this video came out on the same day haha. Came in a HUGE box, but I will be opening it on Christmas.

[@JTawesome92]

Sometimes I like to think Coop keeps his firing demo hallway full of darts and doesn't clean it up.

[@OffGriDDD]

Good! Here’s my opinion: It’s extremely ranged, reliable, and accurate(half darts). It can fire using both types of ammo, half and full, so that’s really noice. Now, I have smaller hands, but the grip, despite being designed for larger hands, fits super well due to it’s simple design. It has super high customization options, considering the swappable foregrip, standard buffer tube stock, and pickatinny rails. Overall, an incredible blaster!

[@c7Wolf7c]

I saw a sale at target where they had these for $25. Unfortunately they were sold out but they had the tomahawk 60 next to it for $15. Hoping I can catch that sale again.

I bought a Nexus Pro last week for our offices' periodic and unpredictable dart warfare. It started off with a PM buying a few 3-shot dart pistols for everyone for some innocent fun. Now we have an arms race. And now that in-office attendance is up (i.e. covid restrictions relaxed) there are more opportunities for play. The stock Nexus Pro is pretty awesome compared to the rag-tag armory of the rest of the office but as soon as I got to use it human nature immediately took hold of my imagination and I started to wonder how I can improve on this design. So, I just bought a mod kit (on order). once I take it apart I'll be looking for more ways to improve it. Yesterday we had a dart fight at work with about 18 people each had between 20-200 darts available to them to start with. It was awesome (we all have safety glasses on, btw.. grab your glasses then grab your gun). We had a brief safety stand-down because someone fired a hardened foam dart that actually drew blood when it hit someone's ear, so those are no longer allowed. Plotted paper shields are becoming popular in our office now (30"x40" paper). Three weeks ago I didn't know this kind of fun existed. It is pretty awesome.

[@confusioned2249]

The amount of darts this guy just has lying on the floor legitimately frightens me.

[@trippsallee]

This blaster is GREAT and a lot of fun, but I had a major malfunction the other day. Three of the smaller darts jammed together in the barrel, forcing me to completely disassemble the blaster to clear it. I think what happened is I didn’t prime the blaster smoothly, as I’m used to Nerf primes and this is my first non-Nerf blaster. Just a heads up.

[@jaemez3247]

Ive had this happen too. I discovered it only happens when you accidentally double load.Once you get used to how you chamber and change the magazine its not an issue whatsoever.

[@frogsbutfrogs]

Happened to me just use something long it will be easier

[@mr.deathly2105]

I don’t know if you have seen any comments, but there is a jam button in the picatinny rail towards the back. It can easily be pressed with any of the sights or mags.

[@frogsbutfrogs]

@@mr.deathly2105 I know just this is a multi dart jam and not in the chamber ING area

[@ZCyberFawkes]

I love how this thing looks, but the fact that it's a horizontal pump grip instead of a vertical grip on such a strong blaster is a bit of a deal-breaker for me personally.

[@Tbug20]

It’s removable and there’s picatinny underneath, so you can put whatever grip you want.

Coop, the scope actually does help you shoot more accurately. This thing is so damn accurate that the darts will hit where you aim with the scope. Trust me...

[@mrosaka4385]

Haven’t seen anyone say it, but if you have both the nexus pro and Max striker you can switch the stocks out and the grips out to make the stryker into the perfect foam blaster. Using the nexus pro sights as well also helps a lot. You can also switch the grips on the Stryker as well and give it the nexus pro grip and make it even better

[@Planes9905]

I just recently bought the NexusPro and I was absolutely blown away with the speed/power and accuracy. What a boss of a blaster. I had but the ultra and what a mistake that was. From the very first few darts I shot through it I started disliking it. Within 10minute I had already decided I was taking it back. The way the nexus pro shoots is what I was expecting more or less and boooooy was I disappointed. So I returned and got then nexus the next day and havent looked back since. Also...This blaster would look amazing with a fresh paint job. Whether you just decided to go with a different color scheme or went for something more realistic. It could totally be a show stopper. Then foam blaster companies are reall stepping their game up these days. I feel like my younger self when I say this. I WANT THEM ALL!!

[@-That1Ghost-]

I bought one of these and it's nuts, it hits hard, super accurate, comfortable, and over all fantastic. Only thing I'd say is don't use it with elite darts, I tried and it was too powerful and they flew out uncontrollably.

[@envyxghost.JSP-9]

I have the Nexus Pro, and tried the half-length darts at long range and seemed to be some of the bullets were inaccurate. But the regular length darts were seemed to be okay. Overall, the blaster was cool. Loving your videos btw, they're awesome and useful details.

[@keithbiz85]

5:33 The legit joy on this guy's face lol

[@TheRealUnderCap]

It’s also you can attach or detach the accessories to the adventure force nexus pro for adding more tactical cosmetics like the scope, suppressor, and keeping the standard stock, due to the useage of foregrip instead of the comfortable pump grip, and the internals are cross capable

[@KW-bf2qo]

I love what dartzone is doing. So great.

[@NevadaRp1]

Aw, certain darts can't go through it? That means i can't use mega darts and shoot it out of a gun that's completely not made for mega bullets at all

[@mx.fuzzypants1911]

The magazines that don’t fit have a little bump at the back. This prevents it from seating completely, and I just took a dremel to my demolisher magazine to cut that off and it worked perfectly. If you want your longer mags to fit, just cut that bump off.

[@SuperBuildsInMC]

[@Pring1z]

You have no idea how well timed this video was. I was literally looking into getting one just this morning

[@justinrapier408]

I agree with you Coop. I prefer the Nexus Pro for the grip. Putting a AC Foamworks SCAR barrel on either of these increases the accuracy dramatically too.

[@phoenix0166]

Can’t you just remove some screws to remove the pump grip like the Nexus? Just do that

[@thekingofgamers3350]

Tip: if you load it 3 times almost locking the gun will be shotgun loaded and still will have power. It also for once actually does good with elite darts at close range. But use the normal darts included at longer ranges when shotgun loading it also can one shot load if you just stick a dart in the barrel if you really need to shoot it without dry firing you can shotgun load 6 rounds if you use half length darts

[@mattorama]

If the only real problems are the stock and the foregrip, they're both replaceable. I have an M-4 stock on mine with the foregrip from my Worker Harrier. What you notice handling this blaster side by side with a Nexus is how much sturdier and solid the shell feels compared to the Nexus, or an Aeon for that matter.
