[@gingerwitch64]

My younger brother was in the market for a blaster recently, and I noticed the X-Shot Pro Longshot was avalible at our nearby Target. Without hesitation, we ordered it, picked it up, unboxed it, and were extremely suprised by the sheer velocity, because this was the first hobby-grade/100+ FPS blaster we'd ever seen! Amazing blaster, aesthetically pleasing, actually good texture and build, 10/10 recommend for any skill of nerfer. Edit: I'm going to say 9/10, because apparently there have been issues with the plunger tube cracking, and even though we haven't had that problem, it's an easy and cheap fix.

[@veryrealperson3694]

Heard that the plunger tube in it tends to crack, may wanna get a metal plunger tube for it (only 8 bucks but they give you 2 so its like 4 bucks per tube)

[@MrWai-PTCGP]

Where can you get them?

Walcom just made THE PERFECT for foam flinging fun this summer. Even if you're brand new to the hobby and have no clue what any of the terminology means the fuzzy walrus will hold you hand and give a perfect explanation that's easy to understand while avoiding talking down to you. Excellent video my friend and please make this an annual thing.

[@granttoye5852]

FYI. Half darts are 38mm full tip to tip, including rubber head. I have some analog calipers that I used. I measured till I crushed the dart slightly, then, if I backed it off right to 38.0, it was a perfect fit, with the dart brushing the jaws. DZ max ruby halfs

[@millermdiehl]

Thank you Walcom you and Coop772 got me into this hobby. thank you so much this has been the best sports I’ve have ever done in my life thank you. RIP a legend in this hobby.

Thanks for the overview video, someone at work heard that I nerf and was asking about it. I'm going to have them watch this video. Also, thank you for your kind words about Coop. Coop, Capt. Xavier, Drac, and yourself were the first KZbin channels I found when I started flinging foam 5 years ago. Keep up the great work, I look forward to your next video.

[@Demonanimator]

I mean it seems to be a favorite standard design. There was a time people wanted there to be more pump action blasters and modded their Recon or OG Longshot to have foregrips, and now they don't need too.

[@ashleyhartman5218]

So this is it, This is whats gonna happen now. I support you, Walcom, I really do. Most of Coop's people are going to come here now, and they're going to look up to you now. Everything is in your hands now, and no matter what I will support you. It might be rough, but I'll always be here, being inspired and enjoying your creations. Thank you for everything, Walcom. ❤

[@05weasel]

Recently got the trion. Love it. Threw on the translucent teal scar barrel from out of darts and that package looks sweet. Don’t worry, I only shoot in my or my friends back yards and we live out in the country. Not taking it out to public parks or anything without the orange tip

[@sergionavarro4565]

Last summer I got the Nexus, a few months ago I got the Harrier, could stop there but I just preordered a Longshot, cause bullpup and slamfire. Happy to spend the money. Coop brought me into nerfing, you Walcom, also Drac, C. Xavier and some others keep me interested. Thank you, you all are the best

[@johnpentiak2240]

With all of the similar high powered designs out there in the market, I am excited for the next step: innovation and fun factor. Foam flingers can only get so powerful and accurate, but for fun factor, the sky is the limit. Let’s see some high power wackiness!

[@deltabravo6959]

Gotta say I agree with your recommendation 100% (ok, besides the X-Shot Longshot, still don't have it). Nice little moment at the end, you really brought tears to my eye man. Coop will be missed by all of us! In his name, let's stay Tacti-Cool...

[@horstfeldmann2128]

Thank you for this great video! I completely agree with you about the development of the last few years: in 2023 there will be things that we would not have dared to dream of two years ago. Two years ago I modded a CEDA-S. Today their performance is clearly surpassed by that of, for example, the Worker Harrier (which I now own). It's insane: the Worker Harrier and other modern blasters are better out of the box than many older blasters that have been modded to the limit of feasibility. Thanks for the market overview! 🙂

[@mhebert350]

I am a collector, I own every single blaster on this list and have played with them a whole lot. the sabre is by far, the very best (they have come a long way since this old model in the video), if you wanna get the very best by an astronomical margin, Sabre products are worth every penny

[@28unfinishedprojects30]

It's so crazy to see so many options from so many manufacturers. There is a crazy amount of innovation going on right now.

[@allengolwitzer6077]

I love watching your videos because you basically pick what blaster I’m buying next. Love the content

[@Olorin323]

We are spoiled with high end springer options! You left the Unicorn off the list! More of a niche perhaps but I love mine! Very solid construction. Nice compact design. The Unicorn and Harrier are my favs for sure! And the Swift is still the big daddy for me. All my sad caliburns sitting on the shelf! 🤣

[@dnighthawk204241]

Honestly the Unicorn has always been more of a secondary for me. Not to say it doesn't make a great primary, but I mentally associate it more with stuff like the Aeon Pro and SPAMF than the Nexus Pro and its family.

[@seanchan7167]

Those emotions at the end really hit home, godspeed everyone.

[@optiTHOMAS]

Brilliant stuff! A great heartfelt message to coop! He will be thoroughly missed! We'll still have his legacy of everything he's done for us over the years. Im glad he just was truthful and shared his reasons instead of leaving without notice. He just didn't feel it anymore and left for his health, and i can totally understand and respect that. Glad he's not forcing himself to do something he no longer enjoys! Good stuff, man. 🥺🥹👍🏻

[@WaltzActual]

I looooove the Harrier, and my bias informs me that everyone else should too. The body of the blaster is exceptional, if you like to drill and plink I think it's my favorite.

[@user-qo3xe5bv8l]

I love the Long Shot. I know it’s flawed, but I just love the form factor and it feels amazing to use and hold for me. I’m gonna pick up another one and put a stronger spring in it and then I’ll be good to go!

coop reviewed every single nerf blaster that came out, and nerf combos, and nerf loadouts, and versus, and all the jokes, the nerf stereotypes, he will never be replaced, but Walcom will always be here, or at least be here right now. He might not replace him or not be like him, but oh boy do we all love his content and we will have as much if not more fun with him not here, so buckle up, we are all going to fling more tons and tons of foam.

[@valkorsimpson4525]

to answer your question about the nexus pro's offset picatinny rail, it's so ironsights have a higher point-of-impact before adjustment. it's actually brilliant, and alone makes it superior to the stryker.

[@2003frontier4x4]

[@SuperBob6991]

It’s insane how much this list has changed in a little over a year

[@masonanthony972]

Honestly, my favorite dart gun is the dart zone max stryker, the highest I’ve gotten this gun is 151 FPS on full length darts on half length darts I’ve gotten 155 to 158 FPS and I just love the design of the gun the pump action sniper look, it’s amazing the red and the gray and orange goes so well together and if you pair it with a 10 round Nerf banana magazine it looks so beautiful. I’ve gotten ranges from 38 to 80 feet so not the most consistent gun but it’s pretty accurate and it works pretty well outside, and plus you can find it at your local target for 50 USD or whatever that amount equates to in your region, I highly recommend it.

[@Proctophile]

Take my support Walcom!!!

[@garfieldlover93]

may not be mag fed but i heckin' love the wingchester levergun.

[@cheetahman515]

I believe that with these blasters the bullpup style works the way it meant to with real guns. it can maximize power from the gasses/air while keeping it small.

[@Blasterhub]

I was disappointed in the Mk4 after using it in a war yesterday. Extended barrel made it hard to hit ANYTHING, even with fresh darts, and using club darts it was even worse, even after sorting through to find the best condition darts. With the SCAR, it shot great up until it jammed, and without a stick or rod handy, it became useless for that game. It also felt heavy after using it more than a few rounds. Nice prime, if long, and I get that you can mod it to do even higher fps with barrel SCAR/BCAR/ETC to add back the accuracy, but I can't think of a time when I needed to shoot above 200fps aside from some actual competitive tournaments. And for that the Harrier was a so much better value in comfort and versatility. Or a lightly modded Trion.
