Buzz Bee Blasters used to be so good before Adventure Force...

- With recent events going on in the BuzzBee Blasters, I felt inspired to take a look at a blaster I personally didn't mess around with much before now but happened to have a few of them in-box and wanted to show how good old BuzzBee stuff used to be actually really good. The Reaper: one of BuzzBee's better blasters from a few years ago, unboxed in the modern age.

Still working on some bigger things, so hopefully this little stop gap (not bad for about 3 hours of work start to finish) will hopefully tie you over and show some new folks what Buzz Bee was capable of.

We don’t mind you do what you want
I don’t mind the delay, everyone needs time to make quality content.
Nice video Walcom, it really is a good blaster.
Btw whatever happened to tag back?
Wait, what's been going on with the algorithm? Did imiss some news?
Hey walcom, I heard that you wanted to see more lever action blasters, so when you said that I looked at your channel and I saw that you never reviewed the nerf zombie strike scravenger, I don’t know if you have it or don’t want to review, but if you don’t have a problem with it, can you please review it, also if you don’t have it, you can go on Walmart, and they sell it for like forty dollars from the seller “kids warehouse” I’d put the link but youtube keeps deleting my comment I think.
I hope you keep making and enjoy to make this awesome content, have great day or night walcom.
Saw the Kmart sticker and nostalgia hit me like a truck no... A Yacht.
Tabbes Reference, is best reference.
Me in Australia: still having Kmart
😯 🛥
Oh SAME!!!
IKR!!
If this is the beginning of the end of Buzzbee then I'm gonna miss the times they came out of nowhere and gave nerf a run of its money. Onto the greener pastures as they say.
BULKbee can revive themselves if they just made a rerelease of the sentinel and brute :p
@@yummehcheezman I got to get that brute then I missed it the first time lol
@@yummehcheezman of better yet a remaster
ya
I remember getting my sentinel and my grandpa thought it was a cheap crappy toy. But when he tried it out he realized the internals were amazing.
By my memory, that color of Reaper was KMart exclusive. There was another the same year and it has been recolored again since. The Black and blue scheme is sexy.
Buzzbee had a major Renaissance a few years ago and its a sad sight to see them literally reverting to current Nerf.
What I remember most about Buzzbee was the original Double Shot. Super gimmicky, with proprietary shells it was better off using and probably wouldn't have fired well without anyway.
I loved every second of it until it broke.
@Noah Maldonado String snapped
God the buzzbee reaper is so good
Man, buzz bee took a nosedive in their blaster performance didn't they?
This video just painfully reenforces my view of them. They not only dropped the ball harder than season 2 of one punch man, they also managed to reach a level of failure that not even Dragonball: evolution and 4kidstv combined could reach.
Sheesh. THAT bad, huh?
@@pramusetyakanca1552 considering that some of their current year blasters can't even break 45fps, pretty much.
this one hit a little too hard 😭
Damn, that's saying something if you did worse than 4kidstv
I feel bad for MongooseJake now that his favorite company has been doing shady stuff recently and used to be so great in the past like you showed! Very neat and enjoyable video!!
Yea
Yeah they did him dirty with giving him a well made sample that's vastly more structurally sound than the one they sent out to store shelves
@@pdtheowl9292 I felt so bad for him when he realised what happened :(
"whats the singilar version of mongoosejake?"
"a mongoosejake"
I honestly thought the Tetra Shot was going to be a shotgun like dart blaster firing all 4 darts at once. Disappointed that it wasn't along with its other problems.
smart ar removal would help
@@check3255 it doesn't use a smart AR, it's more of a revolving air channel, makes it a bit weirder to mod into a shotgun.
@JordanRickel Lol I honestly thought you were talking about the old, OLD buzz bee tetrastrike.
@@CaptainResident I guess you *could* just take out the revolving air channel along with the tube and make it more akin to a trilogy..
@@CaptainResident you should be able to do the same thing as turbo advance shotguns right?
I love the Reaper. I've picked up several over time. They look hilarious with a Worker 22 in them.
I love buzzbee stickies even if they are the crappier dart its just so fun to stick them on everything. great video as usual!
I think I still have one of the newer blue and black Reapers with the upgraded plunger tube that were at Ross a while back...really fun to use in HvZ
Always a joy to see you chiming in.
What was different on the plunger?
@@GearsLGLF just wider. The Ultra Tek line had the 72ft range claims, and then the generation after had larger diameter plunger tubes and the 100ft claims
@@Blasterhub need me one of those. Setting up the eBay notifications now 😅
It's sad to see a company go downhill.
Especially one that used to be really good.
They do have their ups and downs. When they're up, they give nerf a good run, but when they're down.... ouch. These guys made the big blast, the berserker, boss and tyrant, but they have had some stinkers. Lol
@@dragons_hook can't forget the XBZ and the Sentinel. Both still heavily sought after for how useful they are.
@@CaptainResident I'm glad I kept my air tank blasters. Been wanting to get another big blast, but those are crazy rare
It really is sad to see BuzzBee in a decline. I hope they can figure things out and recover soon.
They certainly get an A+ for presentation. Some of these design are so so creative and ingenious you can’t help but love that little spark in each one
Buzz Bee started reaching out to content creators to review blasters with a policy that you CANNOT say anything bad about them. They are desperate at this point. Thanks for keeping it real Walcom!
Buzz Bee, w h y?
I think you're gonna need to include more Editing Walcom, he's got some good ideas
My favorite Buzzbee blaster is still the Barbarian/Decimator. Slam-fire only, but removable 40 drums firing 80-85 fps, it's super fun
I really like many of Buzz Bee's springers. The Reaper has a fond place in my heart because IIRC it was my first Buzz Bee blaster, and also my first mag-fed blaster (I haven't been in the hobby all that long).
I managed to get a Reaper to go 120-130 with little effort. It can take some pretty great springloads stock. Id take one over a retaliator any day.
Buzz Bee does rerelease their old stuff occasionally (whereas X-Shot does it constantly :P). The Sentinel should be at the top of their list if they ever needed more time to perfect new gimmick blasters
They rerelease their old stuff, but never for the blasters that we wanted. Many of us are still still waiting for another Sentinel, Destiny, Brute, Tyrant, etc.....No, We don't need another Champion reshell or a flimsy bolt-action, Buzz Bee!
(Not saying Champion reshells are bad, but they don't need to redesign it every year. Spend that time on something else)
at least there are other companies making quality Blasters. even Nerf has a line or two worth its salt (Hyper mostly)
Is it really? I'm kind of turned off by yet another new ammo type, and the fact that they're so much smaller than everything else means you'll just lose them more. I'm not really sure I wanna make the plunge even if the performance is good.
@@Theonetruefinalboss nerf is more of a gimmicky blaster producer, tho I would recommend the dragonpower line (not the bow tho)
@@Theonetruefinalboss I had the same feelings, but Walcom made a really good argument for them in his Hyper videos and while yeah, you're pretty much only firing those balls 1-3 times with their size, refills are plentiful (as long as you don't go to Walmart) and feel more worth the asking price than the Elite Refills.
if you're *that* hesitant, wait for some 3P company to make a cheaper refill, like Adventure Force did with the Waffle-Dart and their Not!Rival Rounds.
If they made them more realible and less expensive it would be great
Even though I've never had a reaper, I've always liked it and this is a nice reminder of a blaster that isn't vintage, but not new either. Thanks Walcom, you're doing great things! 🧡💚💛
Yes! Your ThunderShot vid had me thinking of the reaper specifically. I remember telling friscobandito how fuckin awesome the Reaper was. We cleaned out a KMart and I firmly believed this thing was the best off the shelf HvZ gat for new players.
I had a Sentinel, alongside a Slingfire. Mainly because I absolutely loved lever-actions.
I sold it alongside with all my blasters because I never found someone to nerf with.
Helping Walcom with the algorithm
Guys it’s not all doom and gloom. Buzz Bee had some really excellent blasters in 2020, even if a few were a little weird. They still performed great.
I think Buzz Bee needs a redemption arc.
>Sentinel
>Destiny
>Reaper/Revolution pistol
>Springfire(great SOLID little 4 dollar pistol)
>a bunch of others
Don’t count them out yet.
I remember looking at some buzzbee blasters back in the day, it seems as though their design philosophy has changed at least a little bit
A Dart Zone version of the Sentinel would be the best thing ever!
Don’t you remember when buzzbee used to compete with nerf? I don’t. Nowadays they are competing for worst blasters
No nerf sucks so buzzbee is still competing with nerf
oh how I wish BB would re-release the sentinel. My brassed one hits over 200fps and I want another one to mod to the gills.
I miss the Reaper, it had a really good market behind it as a cheap, Retaliator esque blaster if you didn't have the money for a Retaliator.
It also would be a great cosplay piece as it looks almost exactly like the pistol from unreal
I like this format and would love to see more reviews on older blasters and comparing to their modern day counterparts. Love what you do Walcom keep it up!!!
This was always a grail blaster for me. Never did manage to get my hands on one, but I love the aesthetics and the performance hasn't disappointed anyone I know who's reviewed it.
THE SENTINEL!!!!!!! 🤤 I have my unmodded one upstairs. It was my backup at Akron U (NEON) one time which was perfect because I fried my Brute motors. Using a Sentinel with dual connected 20 round mags was such a blast.
Awesome video, the Reaper is one of my favorite Buzzbee blasters, really cool to see a video on it
The tetra shot had so much potential! 💀
Getting so very close to a “Tag Back” here. Great video Walcom, I’m looking forward to what’s next.
Walcom you're one of my favorite Nerftubers cuz you just do fun stuff but also do all of the mechanical and technical aspects of the blasters. You're a real one. Also, GunZ: The Duel FOR LIFE
This was a great video. I am fairly new to the hobby and enjoy learning about older blasters.
really liked this video, would like to see more reviews of old blasters
Buzzbee "Oh shit people noticed the ones we sent out initially are wildly different in performance than off the shelf ones.. quick send out fixed blasters to other reviewers!!" Good idea there buzzbee.. :D
your videos are awesome first saw you on modern rogue and was hooked keep up the great work
can't believe one of those shots hit the electrical wire. you couldn't have aimed and hit it if you had tried! xD well, maybe with adventure waffles.
good god, now you got me wanting some crazy Dartzone pro line lever action blaster, they could do something real crazy with a tube fed rifle shooting half lengths
Gratz on 150k !
That Blaster could easaly be turned into a 40K style Plasmapistol. I NEED IT!
Im not going to watch this video fully yet, i want to save this as ive been burning through your content. I love your videos, especially your buzz bee ones, thanks for uploading and ill watch this again soon!
I remember buying a Buzzbee snipe and I actually ended up tagging out someone around 60 65 feet away with a Buzzbee suction cup dart
Man I love the outro music for the videos! It's great! It feels nostalgic and makes me think of simpler and fun times back in the day for some reason! ...good stuff! ❤ :')
I changed it once and people yelled at me.
I’ve always liked the silhouette of these
Kids and I still pull out the first blasters I bought for us. A Buzzbee Snipe and three Champions. Even after acquiring a fairly large collection of nerf branded blasters.
We have a Predator as well as the adventure force version. The buzzbee branded predator seems to hit harder and definitely is more reliable than what should have been the exact same blaster that just changed name.
The old Buzzbee was an excellent budget brand and had excellent customer service. Sad to see what's happening with them recently.
I just want to say you are all awesome. The support you give is unreal. Awe-inspiring. I swear we're going to have some interesting stuff coming out next week, and some MASSIVELY cool stuff in the next couple.
Hi pls heart this
I for one have miss seeing you man, can’t watch my blaster content without checking for your newest video
Thanks for the review, I have always looked at BuzzBee as a source of magazines for my MegaBurn. I'm with you the Sci-Fi look of the Blaster is awesome.
Like Comrade Sentinel, you can overlay one of those big Xploderz springs and get some massive pop out of it.
Much love man. Love these kinda videos
So you could say that you're taking a look at a blaster from the past to see what it can offer us today in the present?
I watched this and found a reaper. I love it..great video, thank you Walcom.
Still got my Sentinel in the basement. I was gonna use it snipe people in college, but I accidently bought those plastic tip darts that hurt like hell when you got hit with them, so that idea went kaput.
I got a few reapers and they are some of my favorite blasters especially for someone who might be new or younger
Interesting blaster, will definitely keep an eye out for one
this channel makes me want to get into buying foam flinging blasters
I didn't think of it that way before, but I have to agree. The only cool BuzzBee blaster under the Adventure Force line was the Double Fire because it modernized the classic Double Shot. Other than that, I never saw a reason to pick a BuzzBee blaster over one from Nerf or Dart Zone.
villainator is also good
sorry if i spelled it wrong
@@browtf621 dart zone makes the villainator
If you ever buy an adventure force blaster check if there is imprinted on the shell POWERED BY DZ-PT (Dart Zone Prime Time
@@yourfriendlyneighborhoodne3577 no it's not
I would agree with you that they made some really fun blasters I really enjoyed the tactical storm
Man oh man the Buzzbee sentinel was my first 200fps blaster. I dont use it much anymore but I still have it and don't plan on letting it go.
I love this. One of my go to blasters is my sealed breech champion. It's got a retaliator barrel integration to hold the brass barrel and a barricade stock attachment lug. I normally use a raider stock and it's got a k26 upgrade. 190 fps with relatively cheap and easy work. I don't think I spent any extra money building it. Everything came out of my scrap bin except for the epoxy to mount the barrel. This was in the days when the caliburn was the hottest thing and I refused to jump on the bandwagon. I got the same performance using literal trash in my shop and it won't break easy like a printed blaster.
Cool color variants too, and the only difference was changing the color of the shell. This is the one version I don't own.
The Champion was my favorite air warriors blaster
Walcom you are one of the best nerf and foam flinging youtubers iv ever seen
Definitely wanted one of these for a while. One day... One day...
Buzzbee was really good back in the day ! Hopefully things will change!
Great work walcom
The biggest challenge for this blaster was the stupid solvent welded tip. same with the champion. But it's a solid blaster👍👍
Excellent review!!!
Its good to reflect from time to time. Way to keep it real :)
Great video as always
I purchased the Reaper back then when Kmart was closing down, and it hits hard!
A blue version of the Reaper was sold at Burlington just two years ago. Pretty good stock blaster, hit's harder than most stock Nerf blasters.
Keep up the good work my guy
love what your doing keep it up walcom!! ;)
I missed you making videos like this.
Nice Vid! Keep up the good work!
This feels like tag back, feels good to be back
this video is like a pseudo tag-back and I like that!
I still need to brass one of these. Absolutely love mine.
Just wanted to say your hair is looking quite magnificent
I looked forward to the Reaper just because it would be perfect for a Mass Effect repaint. Never found one sadly but I still love to see it
I love the attitude. Really, I do. It's refreshing. I need me a blaster, now.
Good morning Sir. This is only review of the Reaper that I remember ever seeing. And I think the only other video I may have seen that featured the blaster at all was the Captain Xavier's, "Can IT Take a K26?" episode, but I wouldn't swear to that.? Anyways, great video brother. Looks like you accidentally discovered some science about the darts that's also worth exploring..YES!!!! More of Walcom's Science Content.!(I know science videos can be a real pain in the rectal-orifice to produce, but still love it when you do them.)
The Buzz Bee destiny is still one of my favorite blasters ever
Was way too good.
I dusted mine off a little while ago the Reaper Looks great with an angled Talon mag!
I have a AirMax Tyrant and AirMax Boss. They are both great pump action Mega clones. I've been kicking myself for not ordering another one of the 10-round Tyrant magazines to upgrade the Boss.
A simple guide to the big four blaster brands:
Nerf: Shit.
Buzzbee: Less shit.
X-Shot: Fun shit.
Dart Zone: THE SHIT.
Me who's in Southeast Asia: :')
In all seriousness, BuzzBee makes Nerf look decent, and that's saying a lot
Good god, I am sick of Dart Zone fanboys. If this is what the Nerf community is devolving to, we might as well get into fucking airsoft.
Dart Zone is the only company that has even acknowledged the existence of the beef community, there is a reason everyone loves them
@@ProfessorPhysics2 So liking blasters that perform well, cost less, and are built better makes me a "fanboy?"
I know that this is kinda of topic but this channels great for me because me and walcom have very similar hand sizes and arm length. Helps with avoiding stocks and grips that dont fit my size. :D
Commenting for that intro pause on algorithm.
Love ur vids hope ur having a great day and weekend
Big tag back vibes from this video, miss that series
Air Warriors was a frikin awesome line man
