It’s our yearly one-off English video in case we happen to get a blaster earlier than the usual NerfTubers in the USA (and rest of world). Helps with the YT algorithm and to pay our clubs insurance fees but will not be a more frequent thing.
It's problematic when reviewers approach Nerf products from an adult, hobbyist perspective. The average Nerf user isn't an adult or a hobbyist, they're kids, often pre-teens. They don't care about half the things mentioned here, they just want to shoot darts at their friends and have something that looks cool. Parents buy them and extra darts as needed. They don't want their kids having 150fps blasters with darts that hurt when hit, that easily fly over the fence to next door but one's garden... or onto a busy road where kids will try and retrieve their darts. Fortunately, the new Pro series should keep some of you 'adults' happy. 😁
I think if you’re going to get a nerf blaster you need to have a general love for dart blasters of all kinds. I bought a venom pro and I also bought the ultra one two days ago. I have three of the N series blasters already and at least a hundred others with a dozen of them being pro blasters. I just love all dart blasters, if I could I’d have almost every single one. even the Dino nerf line I love and I’m 29, I don’t think I’ll ever stop nerfing.
@@OWLNerfCommunity ich bin so pro Blaster verwöhnt das ich die Nerf Blaster komplett vernachlässigt habe, aber den werde ich mir doch nochmal kaufen. Netter Rayven Nachfolger
Der wird von Smyth auch gut rabattiert, es gibt 20 Darts im Wert von 5,49 € als kostenlose Zugabe. Aber nicht vergessen, die muss man in den Warenkorb legen. 😊
I must say I like your well dressed 4 legged feline garden partner. I will Always have a soft spot for tuxedo cats. I will get a sprinter when it's available in the USA. I tend to use these more as props not as dart blasters so performance isn't as important to me. Also appreciate the English video ich spreche Deutsch aber das Englisch wird geschätzt
I'm glad that hobby has managed to grow past Nerf brand and with X-Shot & Dart Zone making awesome blasters commercially and 3d printed blasters being really high quality people can ignore another DRM attempt of trying to shoehorn something nobody asked for. I at least hope that Pro series will grow but that isn't Hasbro's main market.
It’s basically Ultra 2.0 with less durable darts. Also the Raven actually came with an larger capacity magazine. It came with an 18x. This comes with a 16x.
The majority of 'nerf' users aren't really hobbyists. They're casual users, mainly young kids and teens, none of whom will care about what darts they fire, just as long as they have some. Dartzone don't seem to be readily available outside of the USA, so they're not relevant to the global market. Nerf has global brand recognition, and they're readily available in stores and online everywhere... and that's what will count, not dart shape, accuracy or super performance. Hasbro have always set the standard in terms of dart sizes, and everyone just copied Hasbro's "Elite" dart dimensions, including X-Shot and Dartzone. What the competitors do in the future remains to be seen.
@@speeddemon5339 AF waffle heads are about 50% more accurate than Elite. What makes you think these are more durable than ultra? I only heard the opposite. They’re more durable and accurate than elite but that’s not saying much. Xshot, Adventure Force and Dartzone have way better darts for a fraction of the price.
They're kid's toys, meant for playing indoors in the home or in a typical garden, so big is better. It's their biggest market. Hasbro are also producing a range of adult oriented blasters that use half darts, although it's a much smaller market, but whatever they do, some people will still complain. 🙄
@@another3997 There's already a standard size of dart and parents like not having to buy new darts. It's kind of like how USB is already established. I've seen the failure of the Ultra line and Hyper line and just expect another of the same. They want their proprietary isolation, but really having compatible darts would be better for business.
For a 9 volt system it is very weak. There are nerf stryfe and ECS 10 clones that do 80 fps with standard lengts darts with 6 volts (4 AA) and 100+ fps with 9 volts (6 AA). It looks very KO. Accuracywise it's also not breaking records. In conclusion it's a failed attempt to shove new useless darts on us. There are better options like the dart zone thunderbolt; Cheaper, compatible shoots harder and with better darts available.
If you don't like it, don't buy it. Like most companies, Hasbro want to differentiate themselves from the competition. They set the standard dart shape and size with 'Elite' years ago, this is more of the same. And despite what some people want, they're still just kids toys. As for Dartzone, availability outside of the USA is extremely limited. Nerf and to an extent X-Shot are available on store shelves everywhere, not to mention Amazon, Ebay etc. Not so with Dartzone... a dozen small suppliers world-wide, mainly mail order. That means more people will buy Nerf N Series by default.
The colours are much nicer than the rest of the N series line. Needs a second magazine. Grip looks cramped. Id stick to a Spectrum or a Thunderbolt for a fraction of the price. They also fire a lot faster than 79 FPS; more like 92 FPS. My unmodded Stryfe does 73 FPS average. My 2S LIPO converted Regulator does 95FPS. Isnt the FPS suppose to be close to 85FPS? That’s embarrassing for Hasbro. I’ll never invest into these darts but I will wait for a better designed N series springer to mod to fire regular thickness darts.
Unlike Nerf and X-Shot, I can't just walk in to a shop and buy a Spectrum or a Thunderbolt, nor can I easily find them online and have them shipped to the UK. To succeed in a global market, you have to have a global product, and it needs to be readily available at a reasonable cost. Dartzone products are neither. Depending on the success of the N Series, you may find other manufacturers following suit with dart designs... whether you like it or not. 🤔
@@another3997 I think some sketchy companies will steal the design to sell much cheaper. Just like elite, Mega, suctioncup, glow in the dark, accufakes etc. I don’t see blaster companies starting making their barrels slightly larger. Sad if they do.
It’s the old studio from pre-covid days. Unfortunately this is likely the last video we did there. We may have a chance to relocate it, but that will take a while.
I can definitely see this being a prime candidate for a short dart conversion with a full-auto kit. Or perhaps a solenoid kit put in
fantastish das du jest english speaks! not that i have any problems understanding German it just makes it easier for a lot of people.

See you and a lot of people, hopefully on Sunday the 30s of June at Horn Bad Meinberg...❤..I will be there..😂
I’ll be there and look very forward to see you all there :)
Very nice...thanks for speaking english...i understand ❤
I just wish they had made it lipo friendly
They’re only going to do that on pro blasters if that, this isn’t meant for the hobby

New nerf blasters , especially springers in elite 2.0 break easily tho
Ohhooo , Höhni auch mal mit einer der ersten zum Thema N Series 😁
Das stimmt 😁

@cworm couldn't agree any more
@@sweetlikechocothaithe darts are actually more durable than ultra because of the foam and 15% more accurate than a Nerf Elite dart.
