He starts with the big bombshell: buy your darts by the thousand packs if you plan to play regularly in all day, planned event games. This is not feasible if using Nerf darts. Part of me can't help but think Hasbro never conceived that their consumers would ever be using so many darts, and in failing to do so, placed too high a priority on up pricing their "razor blades" which eventually served to paint themselves into a corner as cheaper substitutes became ubiquitous. Can they sell them for less? Even given their higher QC standards, to say nothing of their marketing budget that likely exceeds the entire production and distribution costs of all other manufacturers: absolutely. You're competing with the largest toy manufacturer on the planet. But it would alter their business model, which works just fine for the 90+% of their customers who don't buy their darts by the hundreds, much less in thousand pack bricks, and just want to pick them up at retail while shopping for other things.
Yep, i use Accufake because its so expensive to use hasbro originals. I ran a set if games over a weekend with 200 kids. We were going to lose a lot of darts. Started off with 20 kids, 6 darts each (a strong arm full) thats 120 darts. Rather than 100 hasbro darts that will get lost in no time, I can get 1000 knock-off and play for the weekend. seriously, hasbro need to sort their prices out. Oh yeah, great video. Pleased that you did the Acurecy test, and have to admit, i could see the spotted window comming. Worth watching the footage for that. ;)
I watched most of it. The important stuff. I find it rather annoying that Hasbro both still makes Elite darts, in the face of Accustrike darts, and massively overcharges for both kinds of ammo, which is made worse by the fact that there is no actual reason for them to do so. Hasbro sucks sometimes.
Unfortunately Accustrike darts don't chamber in certain blasters. I like using a UDL Xm1014, and because of the shells the head of the dart needs to be smaller than the body
Unlike Accufake and Adventure Force darts, you can walk in to just about any store that sells games and toys, and walk out with some new Nerf darts. But you may say that's not true... well Dartzone and Adventure Force brands don't appear to be sold anywhere except America and Canada? Certainly not in the UK. I'm sure someone might buy small numbers, import them, and then resell them at increased cost, but I mean, the rest of the world does exist, and foam flinging takes place in it. Thankfully X-Shot now make and sell some reasonable darts at reasonable prices, and shops in the UK sell them. 😁
@classydeathclaw2101 Large scale manufacturing costs a lot of money. R&D, prototyping, testing, finding suppliers, setting up moulds and production machinery, advertising, distribution and of course legal costs. Large companies like Hasbro often set up contracts months in advance, they plan everything well ahead of final manufacturing. But things can change drastically, for better or worse, globally or in particular markets. Global pandemics, wars, politics, recessions, increasing fuel and energy costs. Businesses have to recoup their costs and make a profit... or else no more products.
Watched the whole video thanks for doing this for those who dont have the time or money to do it on there own i came to pretty much the same conclusion doing alot less testing than you did again thanks for all the time and effort you put into this for the nerfing community as a whole
I was so happy when I saw the new adventure force darts at my Walmart. I’m fully expecting(I haven’t finished the video yet) that these waffle heads will win out. Nerf darts are restricively expensive and while my brother got 800 darts for Christmas last year that we can use, they’re voberries, so it’s not as much fun to play with them. I’ve also used the adventure force branded version of the x shot darts before, but since here shorter they don’t function in flywheel blasters and cause jams. These new, cheap but high quality adventure force waffle heads are some of the best I’ve ever used, though, with accuracy, distance, price, and convenience!
I only used to catch videos from this channel when my auto channel played them randomly. I've watched a few and wasn't a big fan. I must say that after watching this video the maturity and evolution of the platform plus the performance of the host are impressive. You earned my subscription and thumbs up. Keep up the good work!
Watched the entire video, really admire you as a youtuber, and even more as a nerfer. In fact you're the reason I got into this hobby as I have. Great video and great info as always. Super anxious for info on endwar 2019, but I'm sure you're already hard at work on that. Keep up the great work and keep up your level of contributions to the hobby. Would love to pick your brain for a minute if you get a chance, I'm currently doing some nerf science myself right now.
Watched the whole video. Found it informative and comprehensive. Well done, don't let size deter you as long as it is well edited and contains valuable information.
Definitely enjoyed. Thought it was super comprehensive for the hobby. A lot of good information and I will definitely be reverting back to this video in the future! Thanks Drac and keep it up
The X Shot darts work in some spring, cylinder blasters: Strongarm/Disruptor, Alphahawk, also the Roughcut, Firestrike, Persuader, very well. These are the blasters I tested them in where they worked. The Delta Trooper, Rayven, Stockade, mag fed and/or flywheel blasters won't take them because of length. They are no good an magazines but might work in clips, I just don't own any clip fed blasters. They actually work much better than Nerf elites in the blasters which take them and gives me separation between flywheel and spring/cylinder darts. If you only run something like the Strongarm around the backyard or whatever, they are pretty good and cheap.
It’s a dart comparison video. If ya ain’t gonna watch all of it, why watch it at all? Lol thanks for bringing another educational video to us Drac, as this can be a very important thing for people to look into when buying foam ammo. Personally I bought a 200pc box of those DZ darts and they’re freaking great for the price. They even feed in my Rapidstrike (Stratohawk) just fine, and I expected them to jam. But they didn’t. And 200 of them cost $10, which is amazing compared to genuine Nerf darts. I will never every buy nerf elites again unless they make them more accurate, and/or reduce the cost
PeeingEndermen MC personally I do not have the battle camo stryfe but I have the Orange elite stryfe, and because that’s the same, I can safely say that these darts feed well through my stryfe. They make the trigger a bit harder to pull, but it’s not entirely noticeable.
Very interesting. Honestly didn’t know about the zuru darts and had considered purchasing them as they seem very easily available here in Australia. They are also labeled as “works with all blasters” tag. Thanks as always Drac mic drop!
So for springer snipers (so accuracy is the most important) the Adventure Force darts are the best? I just want to check if I understand correctly. If there are better darts for this, I'd like to know too.
Me actually watching this whole video cause I appreciate you trying your best for the community by painting your sliding glass door and also giving us great data
About time someone did this video. Length is not important when the data and results are what we all are looking for. I enjoyed the whole thing and the 35 min is worth it to see what darts do and what's good for your buck. As for me, I hate waiting so I go for the adventure force. Next will be accufakes
only blasters i have issue with the Zuru xshot darts are the Star wars rogue one death trooper blasters they either dont fire or fire all 2 at once but all my mag feed blasters do work as i dont have a flywheel blaster
Zurus seem to work well in front loading springers but I've always had them jamming my Stockade anytime I try and use them in that. Might just be me being thick but any other U.K guys struggle to find the Adventure Force/Dart Zone blasters and darts over here? Never see them in Smyths or Tesco (Tried Asda thinking 'Hey, Walmart own them!' but no joy there)
I really wish the X-Shot darts had been tested for this reason. They function perfectly well in many - though not all - blasters and are available in Europe whereas Adventure Force/Dart Zone stuff just isn't.
I have to say that the x shot darts are actually more reliable than Nerf in a single instance. The monorail. Not sure why but Nerf and buzzbee darts both tend to jam a lot but I've never had a jam with the x shot darts.
pretty crazy with how the scene has changed to see a video from just a couple years ago where "the alpha trooper is the best springer period for like HVZ and stuff" was an accurate statement.
You could always reverse the paint test... Buy a neon colored poster board and paint it with a thin coat of Tempra paint (washable)... Then shoot the new darts at it and it will leave a noticable mark. No ruined magazine, and you can test Cortana
Very good review. Love your content Drac. I actually use the innacuracy of standard elite darts to my advantage with a modded double barrel sledgefire I have to shoot a wide wall of 12 darts when I fire both barrels. I WILL hit something lol.
Thanks for the huge effort. Hoewever, a few small constructive criticisms: -accu fakes and the like are readily available online through amazon and ebay for about 4-6 cents per dart -when comparing prices, you should use the price for the same amount of darts. 100 accu fakes cost more than 3 cents per dart (more like 5 cents, or one 6th of elites) -the accuracy test should have been done on a larger piece of paper or at a closer range, to not include the misses introduces huge errors in your results -it would have been nice if you had included one more alternative such as waffleheads
The tedium of this video was insane. However, I TRULY appreciate the efforts you made for this video. I feel accuracy is far more important than fps, and finding out of the dozens of darts available now, even only 6 months after your test, that finding accuracy, and designing accuracy upgrades for our blaster hobby should take priority. Dreaming of a day where you can hit a target 50 feet away reliably, with upgraded blasters, is pretty amazing and would diversify the gameplay quite a bit. Shooting anything is only as good as it is accurate, so there is that. Quality video, sir, thank you, again.
The adventure force/buzzbee precise pro darts, while hard to find now, were the best ones that I've tested, in both range and accuracy - price wasn't too bad either. It's a real shame that they aren't on shelves anymore. They were only out for, what, a year?
i've watched it twice. second time so i could talk my 5 year old grandson into the adventure force darts, since he is a new nerfer we been going through darts, thanks for the nfo
Tip: whenever you buy nerf ammo don’t go to the store, buy the off brand darts/balls from Amazon in the hundreds. 300 pack adventure force darts work for the best because I don’t go to many competitions and they are good for their value.
If you want a more ethical option, go with ACC darts. They have a fairly unique gray silicone parabolic hemisphere tip, one of two China-bulk darts with the tip profile. (The other type are "FVN" darts) Their one major drawback is that they don't feed in all flywheel cages.
Just to update on the Dart Zone/Adventure Force darts featured here. They are now available in a bucket of 500 for about $20 which comes to 4 cents per dart, so a little less than the Accufakes now.
I really appreciate your candor sir. I try not to support knockoffs, but I do understand your rationale and will probably put in an order as a test... maybe... but seriously great vid! and props to you giving props to other channels doing similar reviews!
I watched this and I watch all your videos Drac because they are good and I think you’re the best nerf UA-camr in my opinion. Btw didn’t mind that it was a 30 minute video
Ive been using exclusively dartzone/adventureforce waffle heads aside from the shitty darts that come with blasters and im happy with them they are extremely accurate in dartzone flywheels cant speak for nerf as the only nerf blasters i own are 3 hammershots.
Super late to this video but thanks for sharing your analysis. I knew not to buy official Nerf Darts but needed help choosing from the others. No on the knock offs, and no to the darts that advertise the irrelevant award. And thank you for having amazing audio. Most UA-cam creators skip audio quality.
1. What's the best Nerf dart for 130+ fps?(Accuracy, cost, range, tip doesn't fall off) I heard E-kind waffle or accustrike but I'm not sure which is better? What are the pros and cons of each?
Thanks for making this video, It was actually very interesting to me. I'm just getting into nerfing and I'm soaking up all of the info I can, videos like these help turn people from casual players into informed hardcore nerfers.
An adhesive target, like something made of fly paper, still would have ruined your darts, but it would have made for a far more scientifically sound test as the dart form would be unaltered and your blaster and clip wouldn't be gumming up with enamel, and would have preserved your nerf guns themselves. Props for initiative, though! Keep up the good work!
I watched all the way through and nice job Lord Drac, definitely makes the next wish or Ebay dart shop a lot more informed than just going by what's cheap, my only question is how is Cortana is just know getting seen/some UA-cam love?
I know this is an old video but you should consider doing a best darts of all time video going through things like vintage megas, stickys, whistlers, etc. I think it could be interesting considering there is probably a portion of your audience who have only known elite darts and following iterations.
Hasbro primes the Alpha Trooper in the package specifically to piss you off, Drac.
At this point...anything is possible
Holy crap I watched a 34 minute foam dart test
Brandon Harris almost 35 lol
I watched someone draw for 20 hours

It was well worth it too

Most people don't want to spend a month waiting on darts, nor do they want a thousand. Also, younger nerfers do not probably know about accufakes.

-the accuracy test should have been done on a larger piece of paper or at a closer range, to not include the misses introduces huge errors in your results
-it would have been nice if you had included one more alternative such as waffleheads

I watched this and I watch all your videos Drac because they are good and I think you’re the best nerf UA-camr in my opinion. Btw didn’t mind that it was a 30 minute video
DRAC YOU ARE JUST....
( SCROLL DOWN)
ALMOST THERE
KEEP ON GOING
YOUR GETTING WARMER
AMAZING!!!! YOU ARE JUST AMAZING!
When i realized how long I’ve been watching this video i think i had a bit of an aneurism
Here in germany, 200 Zuru Darts are sold for 15 Bucks! And they even come with an awesome dart storage box.
Also in the philippines,davao
The xshot darts are actually my favorite for front loading blasters
Same . I use them on my bammershot and they work better than every other dart brand
Ive been using exclusively dartzone/adventureforce waffle heads aside from the shitty darts that come with blasters and im happy with them they are extremely accurate in dartzone flywheels cant speak for nerf as the only nerf blasters i own are 3 hammershots.
Tatsuhiro Satou hammershots are the best revolvers imo and you should mod it cause it’s a good secondary or third weapon
So the adventure force wal mart darts work well in nerf elite blasters?
I watched the whole video drac. Very well said. I appreciate that you took your time to give a modern view on darts
Super late to this video but thanks for sharing your analysis. I knew not to buy official Nerf Darts but needed help choosing from the others. No on the knock offs, and no to the darts that advertise the irrelevant award. And thank you for having amazing audio. Most UA-cam creators skip audio quality.
1. What's the best Nerf dart for 130+ fps?(Accuracy, cost, range, tip doesn't fall off) I heard E-kind waffle or accustrike but I'm not sure which is better? What are the pros and cons of each?
Maybe you should try half dart, like worker ones.
Thanks for making this video, It was actually very interesting to me. I'm just getting into nerfing and I'm soaking up all of the info I can, videos like these help turn people from casual players into informed hardcore nerfers.
An adhesive target, like something made of fly paper, still would have ruined your darts, but it would have made for a far more scientifically sound test as the dart form would be unaltered and your blaster and clip wouldn't be gumming up with enamel, and would have preserved your nerf guns themselves. Props for initiative, though! Keep up the good work!
The zuru darts (and short darts in general) never work in stryfes, rapidstrikes and flywheel blasters în general
I watched all the way through and nice job Lord Drac, definitely makes the next wish or Ebay dart shop a lot more informed than just going by what's cheap, my only question is how is Cortana is just know getting seen/some UA-cam love?
I always watch you vids and I watch every second of them. You make great videos I can tell you work hard on them to.
the fast part's tl;dr, he doesn't want the company's mad at him
Archduke Franz Ferdinand stay frosty Mr. Archduke. You never know when the Serbia nationalists may show up.
I Surrender thank you my child for alerting me to this threat to me and my Sophie’s lives
I know this is an old video but you should consider doing a best darts of all time video going through things like vintage megas, stickys, whistlers, etc. I think it could be interesting considering there is probably a portion of your audience who have only known elite darts and following iterations.
Damn that’s a sick iron gjallerhorn in the back.
Where is the draculina at ?
I just wait till one of your videos come out. Keep it up man!
Because you asked, yes I watched the whole video.
