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. GET SUBSCRIBED! ---> tinyurl.com/WS7Sub
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.
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.
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.
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!!
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.
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.
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.
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!
@@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
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
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)
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 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).
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! 🧡💚💛
"Adventure Force" on the box means that Walmart calls the shots. The various manufacturers tell the WM buyers what they are capable of producing, and WM makes their choices. It's not fair to give all the blame to BuzzBee just like it's not fair to give all the accolades to Dart Zone. Buzz Bee designed the blaster, but they did not decide to put it into production or to market it. If I recall correctly, what was 'exclusive' in the K-mart Reaper was packing in the second clip. (And yeah, I call it a clip because I've never seen them use the other word)
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.
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 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.
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.
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
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.
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!!!
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.
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 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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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!
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! ❤ :')
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.)
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.
Walcom i liked this video just because i love you and your content. Was getting into airsoft. But i have a really young son and airsoft is crazy expensive. Much love brother. Keep up the great work.
