Definitely seems amazing blaster in concept, it’s mainly just the odd dart length and the batter that, as far as I’m aware, isn’t typically used in this hobby that drag it down for me. The single magazine thing sucks to, but I wouldn’t be surprised if someone starts making aftermarket magazines (probably 3D printed) for it
Yeah... this new eco system of 3/4 length darts is really questionable at best. The blasters that take them aren't even that good either. Most of them are for training and gun safety, to put 3/4's in this made no sense.
It does sound to be a good plinker, but near useless in any event if you don't have a large resevoir of the ammo type. Nerf Ultra falls into the same space, and sadly, as much as the BoomCo straws were innovative, they also fall into this. While yeah specialty ammo like Mega and MegaXL seem like they'd also fall into this, they at least in SOME games have special abilities due to how much slower and bigger they are to use, (Not really anymore considering drain blasters and other ways of making megaxl fly) meaning that you aren't entirely depending on them for tags and stuff. Running out of ammo with a proprietary dart like this would essentially be a death sentence unless your secondary takes short darts. This comment is kinda overkill tbh, but I just wanted to say why I personally wouldn't run it. There are many ways to play, and there isn't an inherently "right" way to do things. As long as ur having fun and its safe nothing else really matters yknow
Compared to what Nerf is currently offering, $40 is super reasonable. However, that falls apart the second you look at Dart Zone. Overall not a bad blaster. If they fix the stock with metal bars and reinforce the selector switch then I would definitely buy one.
So my take away from this is this blaster could be amazing for an HVZ primary/secondary but it would need some changes. 1. The giant button removed and changed to a switch on the bottom of the grip 2. Shims for the magwell or just a straight magwell conversion to standard short darts 3. A better stronger stock, or a standard n-strike stock attachment, I would like this option better so the ability to put a folding, fixed, or a cap at the end would be possible
I'd just lose the stock altogether and field this critter as an autopistol. Then again... I still need to get that X-Shot Dino Attack sawed-off shotgun. Also, Adventure Force waffles are cheap and easy to cut down.
Sounds like a lot of work to mod the blaster I'm not saying don't do it but maybe design a blaster you want from scratch in 3D print some magazines keep the design pretty much intact but with one that could take talents even designing 3D printed telemax that have the double stack technology by reverse engineering the stuff that you have from this new blaster you got that's my thought 😁✌️
If you could get more mags I would 100% get one and make a cutter to cut down waffle darts. It would make the perfect week HVZ daytime blaster,with high capacity full auto without being nearly as annoying to lug as a Nerf/Dartzone sized blaster or as fragile/upkeep heavy as a 3d printed blaster. Plus for 40$ you get an aesthetically interesting autostryfe without having to buy a stryfe and upgrade parts.
EBLs are my favorite rechargeable battery. Their 3.7v 14550 work great in any blaster that takes AAs. I use 2 with 2 dummies. It makes the turbine hit 100 fps at a much higher rate.
Totally agree with with you and Dr Flux. Love EBLs and now that they are available through dr flux channel, I have a great place to buy them when I need more. Thanks Dr. Flux!
Overall, I can’t justify buying proprietary mags unless there is something really unique about the blaster that I can’t get anywhere else. Great review, appreciate the content, but going to pass on this blaster. I will be ordering some more EBLs though. They are great batteries and I like their IMR spacers better than worker spacers.
Somehow I have the same story. I found a nemesis at Goodwill for 1.99 has been a rabbit hole ever since. Mind you I didn't grow up with nerf guns my nerf was footballs. So I'm a little older.
I feel like they should have done more work to it for the price and they should have not tried to be unique by having different sized darts wich is the biggest failure point in my opinion..
I feel like the unorthodox darts and the lack of more than one magazine makes this a no-go for me.

any proprietary dart is an IMMEADIATE non-purchase in my book

That's when I switched the video off.
I bought one and made a 3D printed dart cutter, cut down 200 worker darts and use it for plinking at home

Oh no, right out the gate seeing those 3/4 length darts is a big nope.
Oh yeah I agree thats a hard sell
Great video as always, I might just have to pick one of these up!
I love what this is supposed to be, I just wish mine didn't misfeed constantly. Seems I got unlucky because no one else mentions it.
mine was misfeeding like crazy with short darts but the included darts seemed fine.
Isn’t this a function of the double-stack mag?
@@jeffreycarman2185 There are plenty of double stacked dart blasters that work just fine
So my take away from this is this blaster could be amazing for an HVZ primary/secondary but it would need some changes.

Yooo congrats on getting such a big sponsorship!
Thanks!!
That jacket... I must have it..!
I wonder why they didn't just utilize half darts! Great video Flux!
Right?
A bunch of import blasters use 3/4 darts, so I wouldn't be surprised if 3/4 length is just standard length in one of the Asian countries
That Kaneda suit looks good on you!
4:28 That’s a nice hopper upgrade you got there… 👀👀👀
OMG you have the Aliens M41a Pulse Rifle Blaster! I got mine its awesome, you gotta do a review/mod video on it!
6:58 this is especially true with blasters that have a proprietary magazine like this product.
This is a beautiful Blaster! Looks SciFi enough and so quirky! Shame about the 3/4 length darts... :(
The mag is interesting, it show that double feed is possible.
Great review. Nice bit of kit, but I'll wait for V2 and the inevitable 1/2 length mags :)
Happy holidays
Happy holidays!
is it possible to modify this thing for half darts and talon mags?
I believe so
Even though it's not the best blaster you should totally use the shell for something or just do an awesome Flux style paint job.
I'd just lose the stock altogether and field this critter as an autopistol. Then again... I still need to get that X-Shot Dino Attack sawed-off shotgun. Also, Adventure Force waffles are cheap and easy to cut down.

I need that jacket! Where can I get one? 😱

Could you easily convert it to half darts? If so I might buy one to mod
