[@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)

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.

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...

[@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

[@TheSybermedic]

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.

[@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. ❤

[@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. 🥺🥹👍🏻

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

[@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!

[@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! 🙂

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.

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

[@goofygoodpasture8511]

i made a scar barrel for my nexus on my 3d printer when i first bought it, it works really well for me

[@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.

[@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.
