DART ZONE MAX STRYKER 2.0: Is the NEXUS PRO X Already Dethroned!?

Dart Zone is absolutely destroying the competition this year, and what a competition it is! The Adventure Force Nexus Pro X was already contender for the best blaster of 2024, and yet here is the Dart Zone Max Stryker 2.0 to challenge it for that title. Another pump-action magazine-fed NERF primary, but with enough differences and unique features to make it tower above the rest!

Dart Zone caught wind that Hasbro was doing a hail-mary with the Pro-line revival and went "Lemme end this company's whole career."

[@shady_the_one]

I would like, but your count is perfect EDIT: thanks internet, for ruining the greatest count of them all

[@derrickhageman1969]

Yup at this point I'm surprised that Hasbro has even made it this far

[@JoAuJan]

Nerf said: duck you I’ll end my own damn career

[@williamsistrunk504]

In other words, Dart Zone is Supahotfire.

[@supahvaporeon]

The gumminess isnt because of the drum indexing system, its from the drool of the factory workers upon seeing these beautiesssss

[@firstfallguy]

And the resistance when pushing forward is when it pushes the dart it has to get the dart out of the snug drum trying to push forward without a dart the resistance dosen't happen

[@Nine_Baller]

You can technically swap out the drum and slap a new fully loaded drum in like its just a bulky magazine.

[@VideoCentral-bh9tf]

Overwatch character ass activities

[@tatsumiplays2625]

I was thinking the same thing.

[@shady_the_one]

Like a Chicago typewriter lol

[@TintagelEmrys]

The downside to that, is you now have a drum to try to stow on you

[@adamcrum568]

even like 4 of those things is more than a lot of peoples loadouts

[@averagebalkaner1317]

Missed opportunity to name this blaster "Strycat" since it's effectively the lovechild of a Stryker and Tomcat

Dart Zone competing with themselves has been a blessing for the community

[@grantponciano9386]

As much as I still love mags, I really appreciate discussing the point and validity for the drum. That rear loading is OP functional. And I really appreciate keeping the toyetic parts of these dart blasters in the conversation. Otherwise we may as well just be playing airsoft at some point...

[@EpicPico0625]

Guess we finally got a "real" nerf Thompson, because of its swappability of drums and mags, while having slam fire. "Keep the gift you filthy influencer"

[@erinfinn2273]

All we need is a full-automod, and we can truly be able to yell "Rattle 'em, boys!"

[@thefishfantamath8789]

HAPPY BIRTHDY WALCOM!!!

[@thelittleranz9285]

Am I the only one that sees this like a pro version of the villianator?

[@jasonbrecht8572]

Nope. You're not the only one! But I s'pose since they made essentially a Nexus Pro 2.0 for Walmart, they had to make a Stryker 2.0 for Target. IMHO, paint it red then "Viola!" a Tomcat 2.0. When DZ restocks their Bcar, wanna test if that fits on the Tomcat. Buy? Heck, yeah. Villainator 2.0! 😉 -Scopes Maverick

0:15 “THAT I BOUGHT FOR MYSELF” 🗣️🔥🔥🔥

[@domingoocho4374]

I'm a proud owner of the first Max Stryker model. I modified mine a lot to keep up with the 3d printed blasters my friends have. I have used it for years, and I was thinking of replacing it. Right when I start looking for a new primary, this comes out. It hits harder than my modified stryker OUT OF THE BOX. It has a DRUM, where my biggest issue with the stryker was how many times I would have to reload my mags in some trench during a match. It has a SCAR barrel, which I was planning on buying separately for mine. It has a better stock for Iron sights, and It has an AR-style grip. On top of that it has Slamfire (I think the old stryker had it too, which I loved) I feel as if this blaster was custom-made for me, fixing all the issues I had with the previous one. I swear, dart zone is the GOAT!

[@Jules279]

I never cared for the OG Stryker since we had the Nexus but this one is absolutely insane.

[@davitdavid7165]

Magazines only make sense if you already have a really big collection. This seems like the perfect way to get into the pro line, as you can just rely on the drum and if you buy the pistols and stuff now you can use the mags with it.

[@Blu_Moon_Owl]

Noticed that too. It’s a good game

[@melissacourville7896]

Yeah

[@localgamer.127]

Ya know it's a good blaster when Walcom makes the Kamen Rider jingles lmao

[@anthonykent00]

Slam fire is such a funny term. Us old guys call it an autotrigger on a paintball marker. 😂 It's great for intimidating the target, but you're probably not hitting anyone.

[@Valandar2]

Slamfire is a term actually coming from the real steel world. It's first noted being used to refer to using it with pump shotguns.

[@anthonykent00]

@Valandar2 Very cool. I never even thought about that because I always equated the hobbyist shoot-your-buddy-in-the-face games with each other (paintball, airsoft, Nerf war). Thanks!

[@1roxyfan491]

It's better for cqc, like spray and prey.

[@lastwymsi]

Comes from old shotguns. Got the name because on older shotties you could just hold the trigger down and the hammer would never catch. If you "Slammed" the pumpgrip forward fast enough you could chamber the next shell before the hammer fell, letting you just keep pumping to keep fireing. Later it became more refined and an intended feature, and the Blaster Hobby picked up the term as well.

[@VideoCentral-bh9tf]

If you're bad you aren't, I'mma be real, slamfire can basically act as full auto if you get your technique good enough. The crusher and villianator are very very nice

[@nateswineford2150]

I love your new format with how you show the range/FPS footage. I think it’s very informative yet not long and boring, well done.

[@breathingbackwards949]

14:19 This view of it made me look at my nexus pro x and say “You’ve been replaced.” I’m a huge “Alien” fan and the green color is perfect for a xenomorph themed build.

[@AmyStrikesBack]

I like having both options, since i like the idea of using the drum and then change to the mags when empty, or using the mags and when they're empty going Full scav mode

[@Onyx-on-toast-yt]

This might be one of the coolest looking blaster ever, the sci-fi aesthetic is awesome

[@brickosaurus2276]

Happy birthday Walcom! Let's hope the Maxuim doesn't break the streak of straight wins from Dart Zone!

[@panda.monium]

25 does seem a bit low capacity for a drum, though I imagine if it was larger it would likely start to get in the way of priming

[@ValTek_Armory]

I already DM'd you earlier, but again, HAPPY BIRTHDAY, BUDDY!

CONGRATULATIONS ON YOUR 34TH FOUR-YEAR ANNIVERSARY

[@CrimsonHiroX07]

Happy B-day! I do have a Nexus Pro X and I'll still get the Stryker 2.0 simply because it is drum-fed.

[@darq7000]

And it is green, i like different colors.

[@tylerwolfe3587]

Do they use the same spring?

[@EpicPico0625]

I guess we can say that, we got a real nerf Thompson (drum and stick mag support)

[@viaticwarrior227]

Met you at the Jared’s Sofi event in ca last year. Love you dude and happy birthday!

[@Sanguivore]

A belated Happy Birthday, Walcom! This blaster looks extremely sweet. Perfectly up my alley. Dart Zone really know what they're doing, and their love for the hobby and community is evident! ☺️

[@Onyx-on-toast-yt]

I’d say the gummy feeling is just the dart being pushed into the barrel

They had one left at Target the other day and I just couldn’t help myself. It truly is an amazing blaster.

[@thursty4foam989]

Dart Zone is absolutely killing it. All the others are just starting to get their footing in the pro level blasters. DZ is spoiling us with some of the best stuff we've ever seen at affordable prices. They are singlehandedly carrying our hobby in retail and symbiotic with out existence. What a great time for us all.

[@MrFoxtheNerfer]

HAPPY BIRTHDAY WALCOM!!! GOD BLESS YOU!

[@kingcow2844]

they were smart to release the max stryker 2.0 first, because if it came out before hand, not a single person would want the nexus 2.0. i already have the nexus and will probably pick this up…… also happy birthday walcom!!

[@froggygothop2414]

HAPPY BIRTHDAY WALCOM!!! Me and my 7 year old love your videos we watch them all the time. Thank you for your honest reviews and entertaining reviews on all the dart blaters we could ever want!!

Self-presents are the best! You are never dissapointed! My only gripe with this blaster is that it abandoned the horizontal grip. I love the stryker 1.0 because of it's grip.

Lol you're definitely not wrong about the height over bore for the Nexus X. I feel like I need to put my head in harms way just to aim over cover.

[@redricefox3812]

Happy birthday. Great review, Walcom.

[@shadowjoker285]

Happy Belated Birthday 🎂 ❤🎉 Walcom!!😊

[@Nuetral768]

The gummy pull and push is there, but it's part of a system of redundant guides to reduce the prime locking from bending your wrist as you prime (pretty common for most people). My biggest gripe is that my scar SIGNIFICANTLY DECREASED my accuracy with this blaster (lost way to much force, my nerf 2.0 jolt was out performing it). This scar issue wasn't there initially, instead it had a different issue... it was throwing my shots upwards by about 3-5 feet higher than I was aiming!!! The nitroshot darts are a tiny bit better accuracy than basic xshot reds, except that I used them in my outlaw and they came out scraped all to hell with reduced accuracy in outlaw now (will need to clean barrel later)... so comparability issues. The sights, yeah they don't hold worth crap but the front alone does set the height pretty well (general point of impact too). The great thing is that these sights fit perfectly snug and accurate on the longshot (which had the same issue), but haven't found any cross sights that work for this gun yet. I like the rear load feature but wish they would have just made the chambers more snug vs using a lever near the rear to add compression (as this can deform the darts and lead to poorer accuracy). Overall, I still want this gun to be as accurate as it was for Walcom (I'm a marksman style shooter, that's why I got it)... while it's still double the accuracy of an unmodified longshot it's still far from that (so I'm gonna hope I get a better scar or bcar when I buy the nexus pro x... till then I just got the maxim pro and less bullseyes but same spread, way better in many ways both in terms of performance and purchasing).

[@sergionavarro4565]

Late Happy Birthday to you! I skiped the Nexus pro X because I got the old Nexus, the Xshot Longhshot and the Harrier, but I think I will take this one, the drum makes the difference

[@TheTeepane]

I love your video it was so informative and hype I really am going to buy a Stryker 2.0 Irene on the Nexus Pro X but I find very persuasive and I love the drum as well as I don't really care for the under Barrel being so far down on the Nexus Pro X I will be buying it for sure both me and my business partner Mr freefonix will be getting one including the Venom my business partner lives in the UK I ship blasters all the time since he can't get them there hope you have a great day🎉

I'm definitely in the Drum > Magazine camp. The Turbo Advance is still one of my favorites (haven't moved into the Pro ecosystem since I haven't had a reason to) because of the high capacity drums that are really easy to make rear-loading.
