Wow when a company actually makes a blaster that is actually out of the box goodness for the hobby
I play airsoft. But damn nerf guns are getting good now lmao
Nice man, i also want to play airsoft when i am 18 at a couple of months, maybe see you in the battlefield😂
I sincerly hope Dart Zone gets into NO trouble because of this blaster.
I doubt they will- they were smart with the 14+ age rating. Also, if airsoft and paintball ... 'blasters'... can be sold to anyone without any issues ( in sensible countries that don't have stupid rules ) then a foam dart blaster shouldn't cause any red flags with the anti-fun brigade.
@@SuicideNeil they probably won't they only sell online and have an 14- age rating
@@evanr1996 I know, that's what I said- and what Drac said, and what their website says. It's Dr.Jex who needs reassuring, not me... ;)
@@SuicideNeil I know but I couldn't reply to them just you but I was talking to them
What kind of trouble could a toy company get into by making toys?
DartZone Pro Pitch Meeting:
"I bet it's gonna be hard to assemble!"
"Actually it's super easy, barely an inconvenience..." 😂
Well said Drac. I agree, a 1st party company taking a actual interest in our community and listening to our feedback is _huge_. It’s something we’ve dreamed of since the beginning.
It’s like a homemade blaster but made by Dart Zone! Now Nerf NEEDS to make something really cool like this! Hey Drac your the best keep up the hard and good work! Also 150+ FPS from a stock TOY gun!
Hasboro is watching this carefully they are letting dartzone take the plunge first to test the waters
In my personal opinion hasbro is not going to peruse anything close to this. I mean, the reason DZ can get away selling this is because it’s only able to be ordered on their website.
@@dumb_hole technically it is a toy but for 14+, think of it as an exclusive to the website only
516 Phxntom legally it isn’t a toy, but is instead classified like paintball guns and airsoft guns
I like how people say airsoft is a sport but not nerf
It's hilarious to me that Hasbro is making a -cheap- budget line to compete with companies like Buzzbee and Dart Zone meanwhile Dart Zone is ALONE in a market untapped by the corporations.
It is, and im throwing my support to Dart Zone for tossing their hat into the ring of hobby grade blasters this will only benefit us. We wanted this for a very long time and Id gladly pay the 180 and show them they are very much welcome and needed in the hobby...Cheers Dart Zone!!!
So overall, I don't obviously need this blaster to compete with this performance or even twice as powerful. That being said, I absolutely want one of these for what it means. This is the first big box primary toy company that has fully acknowledged the existence of the NIC and is making hobby grade blasters clearly inspired by our work. That means something. I'm hoping the price drops or I get enough saved to buy one before they run out. Budget is tight right now, but I'd love to support more of this in the future.
It's almost as if Dart Zone observed what us hobbyists were creating, and made a product that offers the adaptability and performance of a modded/custom blaster, but with no tools or extra work required! I just hope it's compatible with the modular systems that are already established in our hobby...
InventorZahran 327 it’s almost as if companies actually payed attention to consumers *mind blown*
@John Wang too many companies now-a-days aren't listening to their consumer base but instead are pandering to politics and all this other crap that whilst it might look good for them at face value, it certainly not doing anything for them with us, the consumers.
Ordered mine while watching your stream last night! October can not come fast enough!
I couldn't watch stream because my mom came home and she doesn't like social media on my phone 😞
I’m so proud of this company. Nerf tries to take Dart Zone’s market by shipping budget blasters and DZ steps up their game and makes this! Hardcore respect to DZ.
This man used a karambit to open a dart package? Overkill but I like it.
This guy was all i would watch in the 4th grade I legit spent like 2000$ on nerf guns
At first I thought this was a tad nerdy, but I gave it a chance and honestly I admire how passionate he is about nerf guns. It brings me back to simpler times💜
Nerf has finally lost the battle, after all these years, the title of creator of the best stock blaster goes to dart zone.
Drac, quick info. That blaster was designed to be compatible with airsoft springs. So if you wanted to up the fps, you should look into buying a heavier spring from a airsoft store.
@Zhou Zay If you are truly interested, I did the calculations by converting both platforms to their kinetic energy. A proper airsoft rifle shoots ~1.85J, and this nerf blaster shoots at 1.75J. If you put an airsoft sniper spring in there, you should be able to approximately double the energy output. Most airsoft sniper rifles shoot at about 2.8J.
I got some splash damage from that burn at JET, and it wasn't even aimed at me...
Is that one of those fully semiautomatic CA legal AR15?
Booker Brickman nah its a ghost gun , it turns the user invisible and turns people into ghosts
Warhammer55 it‘s a leaked alien weapon. i heard area 51 has millions of these.
Is this a fully semiautomatic, mass shooting capable, US legal assault rifle 15s??!!
I DEMAND A BAN!!!
@@redacted3847 no no no, you're all wrong its a gau8 assault rifle heat seeking dog killing rapist murder racist bullet missile rocket nuke launching gun.
I love how the dog just sneaks into the video towards the end
Drac: super easy barely an inconvenience
Me: holy shit did he just make a pitch meeting s reference
"super easy barely an inconvenience" i see drac too has a good taste in youtubers
Wow. I'm really glad they were being generous with their claim. That's very ethical of them
Gutted that they might not get to the UK! Great review!
justajolt do you believe it will be available for the uk at some point ? Would seem like a preacher bad business move to not ship to the uk
@@Feeshyenjoyer I really hope so. It's not their fault, it's our regulations. So it's kind of our fault ^_^
I watched this 20 times at least and I wont stop watching until I get the blaster
Looks like a cool blaster, also looks like most of the internals are slightly modified from the CEDA internals. The blaster also looks like someone thought "how do I improve the CEDA," then realized some more features and an actual PR dept would do the trick. Don't get me wrong, Jet deserves a little shade for some of their shipping delays and customer service issues, but this dartzone blaster seems like it was heavily inspired by the CEDA.
After seeing it on the stream last night it reminded me more of the Prophecy then the Ceda.
Use an allen wrench on the sights to loosen them before the install. Also the front sights go on the last rail, and the rear sights go on the first.
I play real steal! Nice to see that i can have my fun without hurting people!
I like this a lot! Well done Dart Zone! And thank you for the direct connection between priming bars and boltsled! (Unlike the silly bussiness inside Workers new LS shell)... Thank you also for the awsome new darts which not only mitigate barrel drag but might be insanely accurate due to those ridges allowing the air stream to ‘break off’ of the surface (much like a golfball). Seems like every step of the way in the development of this blaster ‘the right choice’ was made. You’ve coppied the best things oir hobby has to offer and added a few of your own. I am full of respect and looking forward to what lies beyond 1000/1000!
If they come out with those darts then they will OWN the dart market overnight. Both half and full.
Too rich for my blood. On the upside, I got a promethius on prime day for $70.
@@Skidracer21 I'm so lucky cuz my mom was gonna let me order some stuff out of her pay cheque tomorrow!
it's a CEDA, but better?
yes
Ahh nostalgia, I used to watch you from 11k subs but eventually stopped watching and now I returned..
Oh God, it looks like it's starting to go from Nerf or Nothing...
to Nerf or *Something...*
Great review, thanks Drac. It is fantastic to see a major company support the hobby and I hope to see Dart Zone release more than just 1000 units.
Half way through the video I had to stop and pre order lmao. Thanks man, you seriously need commission on these
The gun that started it all
Very informative. Feel better about my purchase now. 160-170 fps is a good start as well. :3
1:12 drac hits the woah
The dislike is from Hasbro
Not only a blaster that works
BUT ITS ACTUALLY AESTHETICALLY AMAZING!!
Can't wait to see their bolt action.
the 150 was from the prototype so that is probably been tuned since the proto type
Ordered mine this morning. Right after I watched your stream. Thanks for this update. Those chrono numbers are crazy for out of the box.
Awesome video Drac! I'm buying one right now. The price is a bit up there. However: it's just what you said: them being at endwar, a company like Dart Zone bringing something like this to market - I'd like to support that. Can't wait where this will lead to.
Haven't been on the channel in a while big mistake
Wow 14 plus!? That’s how you KNOW it’s the good shit😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
might use this in the raid of area 51
Well, use the Naruto Runner armor enchantment with your special being shadow clone and run this, you are going to be the strongest player on the raiding team. Just as long as you can control the speed.
I’m sure all the weebs armed with nerf guns naruto running into M134’s mounted on blackhawks, and M2 Browning 50’s should work great! Can’t wait to watch on TV!
The moment I saw the commercial for the gun I was waiting for this video.
I’m guessing this is the krytac of the nerd world
1 million subs with no vid Challenge and you realize they both operate the same, but one shoots much further? It’s a joke dude, chill XD
@@1millionsubswithnovidchall782 if I shoot a kid in the face with a krytac they need to go to hospital but with this it will probably just leave a mark
And now we have the Nexus Pro
Jimbob, a dart zone employee: Hey, you know what people like? Caliburns. What if we were to make an out of the box caliburn?
Can we all have a moment of silence for Jimbob?
Only nerf events around me were for little kids, so i had to go for airsoft, and this level of blaster, and the half length dart options. And all you need is some extra mags to be able to actually get into it now. I hope they do more runs of this, this is way better than an airsoft gun in a backyard war at least, since you can reuse ammo
Imagine that thing shooting a nerf Whistler dart
Features and performance aside.. it.. is... GORGEOUS!!
Ordered one. I already have plenty of good springers but I want to support Dart Zone for catering to our hobby.
Hey Drac, are we sure those extra o-rings are meant to be replacements? Any chance they slip on the other side of the takedown pins to prevent them from slipping out? It's hard to judge the size of the o-rings from the video.
I dunno man, Dart Zone looking cooler than Nerf. Rival was a step up but then dropped back down by making weird blasters instead of tacticool ones.
Props for sporting those Kitanica Range Shorts. Kitanica stuff is bomb proof.
Ordered mine while watching this vid internals and pump design are worth the price alone
I have a couple questions drac, will this blaster shoot “mint condition” nerf n-strike elite darts with the metal barrel? When you were aiming at your hat and chrono were you aiming with the iron sights (did you have to aim a little higher)? Do worker Stefan’s work with the half length magazine and do they work with the metal barrel?
Already ordered one at release! :)
The real question is can it take a k26?
I love the pitch meet "super easy barely any inconvenience" in there. Made me laugh a lot.
This what Ela's Scorpion Evo looks like after all the nerfs....
If only I didn't just buy a bunch of retaliator parts... my next paycheck can't come fast enough.
Ordered mine just a minute ago. Thanks Drac for the review and Dart Zone for the blaster. I can’t wait for October!
Excellent video as always, thank you for comparing this to the Caliburn. If you hadn’t, I would have asked you to here in the comments.
I’m looking forward to your mod video, now I am torn between this and the Perseus, if you had to choose which would you get?
Hopefully in November you can buy both for what this is currently with black Friday dropping the Perses to $50 and this hopefully being mass produced for $80-120 (lower end preferred ofc)
I'd say it depends on what you currently own/play-competitive this (especially if u don't want to do a long mod/own stuff that hits this hard), fun/HvZ-Perses
He looks like a shaved version of moes from the office
Super easy basically an inconvenience do you as well talk to your own clone self?
Nice pitch meeting reference.
Ill stick with my caliburns with that price. I am interested in getting their half darts.
Boomstick Mods : Will the DZP require all of the same constant adjustments? I have an early, pre-quickchange Caliburn of the same vintage reviewed by Make.Test.Battle.
Ordered mine! Can’t wait! I hope this is a success. Well done Dart Zone.
I hope cause it says "MK-1" there will be more like an electronic one.
The hobby has come such a long way
Love the vids so much dude! Keep being awesome!
Thanks for the transparency about everything involved in this blaster. You addressed the comparisons I thought were pertinent. Are they at some point going to mass release it via the website or is the founder's edition the only run of it?
The day has come where nerf realize how bad their blasters are
Philipp Goetz agree with u bro..suck of darts too.. so capitalism.. less darts come with blaster in selling..average 70 fps..
I love your channel it always cheers me up
Is it compatible with normal elite darts?
Yes but those are terrible at high velocities, I would recommend accufakes, waffles, or dart zone darts. Maybe mengun, but research that if it's interesting.
Hey, what are leaning towards the most, Dart Zone mk 1.1 ou the Nexus Pro??
Nice move dart zone chek mate zuru and nerf finally a company helping the hobby fir real with actually good blasters
Hardly "check mate". It's not as if the competition are backed into a corner with no way to retaliate. This is more like a shot over the bow.
Really glad that you’re still doing nerf. I’m a long term subscriber!
Every FPS is a dollar
Looking like the R-301 from Apex
Super easy, barely an inconvenience
-Ryan George
Thanks again Drac for the quick rundown on this new launch.
150fps? At what point do you just switch over to paintball or airsoft?
I know that the weak airsoft guns hit around 210-250 fps so probably around that
Jorgen Tacetta you have no idea what you just got your self into. Don’t look up
600fps nerf blaster.
@@madelynwillet668 At that point it's probably just to say you have that that it actually being practical.
Jorgen Tacetta oh yeah of course. Because the FPS cap is different per event. The highest cap I know is 200fps
The Superdrum was a sign of things to come. Dart Zone knows their audience and what the Nerf community likes!
Please please please, make a mod guide for the nerf rival Jupiter as soon as possible. The gun is really cool but probably won’t get one due to the fact I have a ceda
Galapagos Galaxy exactly its basically is a reinforced ceda with a for grip
Why did you put nerf on the thumb nail
Its said it's out of stock.. when or how can I get one of these? When will they start to sell them again?
Dude if you've bought a second one, customize THAT, not the 1 of 1000! Keep it mint.
I was thinking the same.
@@Side85Winder well why but it if you never touch it? The whole sport is why guns like this exist. If it's a limited edition, STYLE ON EM BROTHER!
@@Side85Winder why would you bother buying it, like buying and nice car and never driving it
@@Side85Winder collecting things is just pointless, if your not going to use it, like why on earth would i spend 20k on a book when i can go buy the same 600 paged of words for £20 and not have to lock it up, protect it from uv rays, keep dust from collecting, and wear gloves to read a book?
@@chrisr6776 it's a Nerf gun tho
