why is the DART ZONE PRO MK-4 so long?

Thanks for spending me the DZP MK-4, Dart Zone! If you want to pre-order one, here's where you can: dartzoneblaste...
The DART ZONE PRO MK-4 is here, the latest pump-action primary blaster that absolutely destroys NERF and meets the market of only the most powerful, most accurate blasters in the entire foam flinging ecosystem. How does it compare? Well, you're probably trying to compare it to the Worker Harrier; and that's the wrong blaster to line it up against. Dart Zone is trying a lot of things with the MK-4, but do any of them really stand up? I tested everything, and I have some answers.

the coop modulus barrel call out was fantastic. spot on they should have done that.

[@dragonblaster-vu8wz]

Now we just need the Mk5 to be a bullpup electronic springer. Ideally, with a manual priming option like the Vulcan, but taking half dart mags. Or designing a new style of half dart mag thats the size of a full length mag and having the front half have the feed lips on top and the back half having the feed lips on the bottom like the Tek Recon Havoc mag but for half darts. That kind of mag would make it much easier to top up on the fly and flip the mag when empty on one side

[@Freerunner360]

Actually yes

[@bobbirdsong6825]

if we got a new faux double stack mag, i'd rather have the two columns side by side with a wall separating them. then you could have a blaster like the bulwark but with doublestack mag capacity

[@Thesnakerox]

Idk if you noticed since in this video you said you need to prime the blaster to reload: While that is true for most standard magazines because the blaster lacks a skinny pusher, the two magazines that come with the blaster actually have semi-flexible feed lips that allow you to load them into what I assume would be just about any blaster without priming it!

[@c146w]

Came to see if someone else had noted this already; thank you!

[@nighttskies]

but the dart in the mag will bash against the barrel, so its not actually a useful reload

[@willw5868]

@@nighttskiesI mean yeah you still need to open the breech in order to chamber the dart.

[@VirginiaRican]

For those of us doing this for a while, and are capable of printing and building our own, that price point is not very attractive. But for people who don't posses the build skills, this is a great off the shelf option.

[@valkorsimpson4525]

the worker harrier is better at the same price, though

[@VirginiaRican]

@@realshit6061 Incredible. My builds are 4 wall (0.6mm ea) PETG. My loaners get dropped, smacked, etc. If anything small breaks, I usually have spare parts available and can have them running between games. T4s and C4s in particular are very easy to service.

[@XDマスターチーフ]

"Fort those" 6:53

[@BeefIngot]

Sounds like between the Harrier and the Gameface Triton there's no real reason to buy this. I've been thinking a lot about this but holding off to see reviews as I only would have purchased the teal one, but now, meh. Looks like it's no competition. I'm sure it was more competitive at the time they first put pen to paper. I imagine a lot happened while they developed it though, and they just didn't adapt.

[@c146w]

Much the same as I was thinking, I'm afraid. Thought it might be a real Harrier competitor, but the Harrier if nothing else is a smaller target - the MK4 is absolutely ENORMOUS and just more of a target for me to aim at, at least the way our rules work for games. If I want to hit silly 250+ FPS numbers, I'll use the Caliburn I got off eBay for $70 shipped. My Trion covers about 140-200ish FPS ranges, my Lynx can do basically anything below about 250FPS, and the Unicorn coming out soon has me more interested than the MK4 as an actual practical, useable blaster while being very compact and much cheaper too. I think you're probably exactly right in that when they sat down to develop this, probably 18-24 months ago, it seemed like a grand slam. With how fast the hobby moves, other products that were released in the meantime and a dash of bad luck, and you have a blaster that's probably about 6-9 months late to the party.

[@kosovthehonse]

Would have liked to see the accuracy test with the included darts

[@purplepop413]

He did that, did you even watch

[@timothyscott1951]

no he used standard adventure force darts (because they are easiest to get , thus most ppl will have those mostly ) , did you even watch !?

[@nerferx]

You wanna see the accuracy with the included darts, watch the official video from them showing accuracy, and its hilarious, because at 50 feet, using the long barrel, they hit the target, an where so happy with that one shot they did no more, which leads me to believe they tried for ages, and when they finally got a hit they quit.

[@veryrealperson3694]

I thought SCAR stood for String Centering and Rifling, according to a comment on the Nerf Wiki it stands for String Centered Auto Rotation

[@sarahthompson9621]

I thought the same :/

[@matthewyoho5422]

It's actually neither of those, those are just both "backronyms" that people came up with trying to guess what it stood for after the fact, when the term was being commonly used, because they'd never in a million years guess what the letters actually stood for, since that's "String-based Auto-Centering and Rotating", which you'll notice doesn't spell SCAR, but instead "SACR". SCAR wasn't an acronym at all you see, the originator had just rearranged the letters to make the end result of their creation "sound cooler".

[@ASMRKlotz]

You have to prime to insert the magazine? I thought it had proprietary magazine that didn't require it to be?

[@loganmarino948]

They say the included magazines can be removed without priming back the spring because of the way they designed the lips on the new magazine. Only the included magazines can do it however

[@viciousviolet3783]

Grate video. I sold my swift to buy the Harrier and i love it way more. The mk4 is just way to expensive as you could buy two worker swifts for the same price as one mk4 in Australia.

[@botsnblasters]

Love the Dart Zone Swift

[@ShyBiiteVT]

I love during the target test when you primed the blaster, you could hear a THWOOMP sound through your mic.

[@edgardopereles9966]

Thanks for the review. It is the 1rst review of the MK4 that I watched with somebody make an accuracy test and go for the bad & good of the product. Even when somebody get a product from a company. I believe this type of fair reviews is what make people buy, test, and recommend. About the Mod comments. If I'm a manufacturer. It is like stab just hear a review and people just thing how to get my items to mod. 😂

[@Telefrog]

It's really too big. Nice, but just too big unless you're going to be perched in one place as a dedicated sniper. Even then the foregrip draw is crazy long. I dislike the stock so very much. Worth $180? Sure, if the Harrier didn't already exist.

[@mkendall8393]

Harrier has a boatload of issues out of the box. Honestly the swift is still a better choice.

[@Telefrog]

@@mkendall8393 No doubt. I'm just saying that someone spending $180 on a springer-class blaster is likely not dipping their toes into the hobby for the first time. Hopefully, they know how to tune and do simple mods. With that foundation, the Harrier is a much better proposition unless you're just married to the cosmetic difference between the two.

[@oxolotleman7226]

​@@mkendall8393 what issues does the harrier have if I may ask?

[@matthewwolff3120]

For 180$ i would buy the kirin instead of this as a shell ejecting bolt action seems really fun over this

[@merrilly-]

caliburn: cheaper, can easily hit higher, widely available, massive third party market (ultimate customizability,) more compact and easy takedown, talon claw for a smaller version, easy to mod, one of the more rigid 3d printed blasters that's not even to mention the off-the-shelf caliburn alternatives

[@cyphre]

Definitely wish the foregrip was mounted via picatinny rail, so we could use other foregrips for priming.

[@InnerCityPigeon]

I'm still torn between this and the Harrier. Either one, I plan on maxing it out. Overall, I'm looking for versatility of different fps caps and sustained reliability in performance. I want a blaster with the ability to be accurate at long ranges without being unwieldy. Looks like I have to wait for these to drop for some hard-core autismo levels of comparison videos.

[@carltonsimmonsjr.5607]

I don’t have this blaster but I do have the harrier. It seems like the Harrier does everything this one can do while being smaller and sturdier.

[@InnerCityPigeon]

@Carlton Simmons Jr. That is plus. Have you had any problems with internals yet? I've heard the Harrier has a plunger that is susceptible to breaking with higher spring loads. I know you can get an aftermarket metal plunger.

[@akagainesy]

I just don't get it. You can get 200+FPS out of blasters that are a lot shorter than this. Why would you want to run around with a blaster that you could tag your opponents with the tip of the barrel from the other side of the field??? Lynx all day for me but what do I know
