[REVIEW] Dart Zone Ball Launchers | Sentry & Liberator 

I love how their „Rival“ guns hit softer than elite guns. But their regular ones hit like trucks

"doesn't have slamfire" I wanted a sortof trench gun!

If you take the air restrictors out they fire really well, and it takes just two screws to remove the loading door on the sentry. These blasters are great for moding. But yes, stock they're not that great.

I wish nerf made a rival shotgun like the liberator. Edit (19 dec 2019) : They made one. The Rival Takedown !

Something else I wanted to add; rival-esque rounds take up more vertical space than a dart, but much less horizontal space, so a tube-style magazine can be much more efficient - good job on dart zone for that one

Nerf: *Makes balls* Dart zone: Write that down, write that down!

*”I like to keep this handy. For close encounters.”*

take a shot every time he says balls

Yep, the large plungers and everything are there for these blasters, but it seems like the seals are off on the Sentry and it just bleeds power as a result. Liberator meanwhile just needs a new spring - 13 coils of a K25 gets me up to 120fps or so.

Coop: doesn't like holding down a secondary trigger in order to fire Also Coop: loves flywheels

Someone needs to 3d print a full stock for it

You should make a season 2 for Nerf combos with the New atachments

3:52 surprised he didn’t laugh at that

Also it seems like Nerf is finally getting some actual competition. I can see the Sentry possibly replacing the Kronos. Edit: Nvm, just realized the magazine spring and FPS is abysmal.

Coop Solid review. Thanks for taking us through these two. I am glad I watched this before I picked up both. Keep up the great work.

haven't watched the whole thing yet but it's probably as good as every other review

What I’ve noticed is that these latest entries in the adventure force line have very large air restrictors, as just removing it from the sentry adds around 10-15 FPS. Still lower than a chronos, but with the liberator it’s a bit more useful if you really like the shotgun form factor and dislike the titanium. The sentry is just a meh blaster overall, tbh. Get it only if you don’t have a chronos and/or want a weird blaster pistol to tinker with, however being able to top off on the fly is a nice bonus compared to having to prime the blaster to load up

Absolute legend. Love ur reviews. Always honest and to the point, keep up the great work 👍🏻

What I like about Sentry is you can leave it fully loaded over time and not worry about leaving your gun primed like with Chronos and worry about ruining your spring. With Chronos you have to discharge a round after loading it which will take you down to 4 shots. You can also top it off while having it primed which is not something you can do with Chronos. I love my Chronos but Sentry IMO is a very cool gun with extremely unique loading mechanism. Hopefully spring can be upgraded.

There’s just something about “Ball launchers” that sounds so dirty....

The Liberator look like the shotgun from TF2. Just some paint, and it's cosplay material.

ur looking better coop and seems like your alot happier and motivated to make videos and they are amazing as always keep it up dude!

What's great about the Liberator is that you can load on the fly, trick is to use the jam release button on the side. And you can load 13 darts using an 11 +2 loading technique as the empty space from the chamber and the white door is enough space for 2 darts to be loaded before loading the remaining 11.

The liberator looks incredible! Can’t believe how realistic it is. Can’t wait to get it!

The liberater looks like TF2’s stock shotgun.

Bought the sentry before I saw this review, I liked it cuz the reload mechanic is pretty neat (I like blasters with odd/unique reloads) Also the little area just before the actual magazine hole, the little halfpipe thing, you can hold like 2 extra balls there and still close the mag cover, then when you run out you can open it and quick load those two balls for a few more shots.

Have been enjoying my savage spin, my first flywheel and first semi auto blaster. Just been planking, but thanks for the recommendation

The liberator looks EXACTLY like the TF2 stock shotgun, I’m definitely getting for a cosplay.

I like that shotty for it's small compact 10 round design. The lack of power usually doesn't mean that much indoors. that pistol hasn't got any advantages over a common disruptor.

No Balls Were Harmed During The Making Of This Video.

You should make another nerf competition. The contestants should be: The dart zone guy Rival guy Mega guy Elite guy Doomlands guy You decide the guns for the contestants 😁. Please do this coop, this would be super cool 😎 Edit: wow that’s a lot of likes

It makes me happy to see you uploading more

Love your content coop keep up the amazing work.

Seems like so far anyone tries to make a shotgun load has feeding issues.... the buzzbee monorail.... and the liberator. LOVE all your reviews, can’t wait for next video. Keep up the great work!

The Liberator seems like a good shell to build off for a Gears of War Shotgun build, does anyone else think so?

3 points: I put tape over the safety to keep it locked in all the time. The liberator - **make sure you physically close the loading door with your hand on the shotgun - if you use the pump action mechanism to close the door when you prime it, it will misfire for the first shot**. I wonder if these are purposely weaker so they can be sold in places like Australia?

Man, I used to watch you back in 2017 and wow, alot really has changed, like you thiccened up and the editing is so much better.

Nice

The liberator is still pretty fun. Love mine despite the low FPS. Though now I’ve got my eyes on the X-Shot Orbit. The price on both of them is hard to beat as well.

Noice

Hi Frank my friend showed me your videos and now I'm a big fan!

nice review i was thinking about buying the shootgun but not now thanks

The Liberator has one major flaw; the loading mechanism does not allow you to reload until you've emptied the magazine. There is a white paddle or flap that pushes out of the way as you load balls, its natural sprung position being the down position when the blaster is the right way up. Once loaded and turned over, you have to dry fire once before you can load a ball to fire. The balls then pass over the top of the paddle, trapping it in the down position until the magazine is empty. It also chronos at around 78 fps for me, a good 12 fps lower than the Takedown that averages 90 fps. The Takedown only takes 8 balls, but you can top up the magazine anytime the loading port is open. In a battle situation I'd prefer the Takedown, or the Rival Saturn which has a 10 round capacity and a stock.

Always love your videos coop!!!

I just put a Home Depot 11 kg spring into the Sentry and IT SLAYS!

You should definitely consider checking out the new X-Shot Chaos" Meteor and Orbit, now those blasters can compete with rival blasters!

The liberator also has a front flip up sight

Thanks for the review I have been thinking of getting the liberator but I think I will stick with my atlas if I need a shotgun

I bought a Sentry for my son (mostly just because he likes everything in BLUE - and the only Kronos I could find at the time was white). He really likes it - but he is 10 and not a serious 'Nerfer'. NOTE: I have seen some feeding issues on his, but mostly when he overloads the chamber - I think he shoved 9 in one time...

I grabbed a bunch of these. Had no issues with the Sentry, overall...with the exception of 1 out of the batch of 6 I picked up. The internal spring was definitely not seated properly. The Liberator does have some feeding issues. While I don't have a chronograph, I did compare both to their Rival counterparts. I didn't notice such a drastic difference in FPS performance. The Sentry and Liberator performance was slightly less. I think Frank might've gotten lemons. Maybe the overall issue is quality control on the assembly line. 🤔

Review the x-shot chaos meteor & orbit next please, hehehe. I love your review.

Looks like dart zone is doing more spring powered ball blasters, feels like I just finished watching the review of the powerball

Coop already lookin better. Curb your energy drinks, keep exercising, you making progress!

Every time he says balls I say balls with him🤣🤣🤣

Hey coop, did you know on the liberater that theres a front flip up sight on the front?

Sick nice vid bro like always just a suggestion maybe you could do an update video of the top 5 worst nerf blasters as their are loads more now pls like so coop can see

not really a nerf enthusiast, but i want the liberator. it simply just looks fun to play with as a toy gun.

Can't put Ball Blaster in the title but you can in the comments...

I just picked up an X2 from goodwill for $3 and it shoots stronger and farther than my Kronos. I did hear that they updated these later on after the initial release.

@5:42 people comment that you don't count your ammo so you did count this time, but you then shoot one blank to irritate them just for the lels 😂😂 *dat smile tho*

The shotgun is really cool nice video Frank..

You did not do a review on the CQ-10 stryfe found it on amazon. It is pretty much just like the battle camo though.

6:06 wdym a dart got stuck in the magazine?

Took me forever to finally find the liberator. Swear they changed the stock spring. Mine hits hard af (welts within 15ft)! That jam/double feed when trying to top up is the only problem I found (excluding trigger handle finish being loose). Only 2 misfire and one double feed during regular operation (10+ reloads).

remember, you can't have a coop772 video without the funky jams

They are called HIR's - High Impact Rounds

8:40 Funny how you say that, I just painted it yesterday lol

The Xshot Meteor and Orbit is practically the same typa of blaster.

The liberator has a flip up sight up front

I'm buying the liberator for regular nerf battles because I'm pretty sure Dart Zone only use ball rounds just to make the tube-magazine part of the blaster work.

You can store 2 extra balls in the loading slot and shove them in after firing a few rounds

Please do a review of the Dart Zone Pro. I'd love to see your opinion of it, and I'm honestly shocked you weren't sent one already.

Okay, what is this? I instantly clicked the notification, and 44 comments?! *WHAT IS THIS SORCERY?!*

I think your the first to do a review of the sentry

the liberator is not recommended for hvz either, not even for its ammo, but because you cant top it off easilly. due to how the magazine feeding mechanism works, if you try to feed more balls into the tube while thers still ammo in the blaster, it will force balls into the chamber, essentially double feeding the blaster or jamming it outright. the only easy way, and what feels like the ONLY way dart zone wanted you to load this, is when you are completely empty, which for hvz or general topping off... wont work. and the blaster is built where modding this section wont work either since the ammo door and guide ramp are sady necessities to even load at all

Strange, the Liberator I got shoots harder than my Rival Jupiter. The build quality feels worse though.

I feel like the liberator would be a pretty good blaster if you take it apart and upgrade the mag spring and main spring

I dont really fully get the idea of styling a blaster after a shotgun but then giving it a fairly small on board capacity and having it only fire one at a time. Doesnt seem super efficient. Though doesnt seem too tough to reload on the fly at least

Bought the sentry and I'm genuinely pleased with it. Now the fit and finish is not as good as the Kronos but I didn't expect it and if your loaning it, not bad, also I play for fun so lower fps not a big deal and it's 6 dollars cheaper

I've really wanted a Rival tube mag shotgun style blaster for a long time. Sad to see that this doesn't work so well.

I'm wondering if Coop got a dud Sentry with bad springs. Mine gets an average 80 fps, which is slightly better than the stock Kronos I tested it against. I had no loading problems unless I tried to overstuff the magazine. Remove the loading flap and you can pop balls in on the fly, making it much handier than the Kronos. The loading flap on the Kronos also serves no purpose and can be removed, as Hasbro did on all later top-loading internal magazine small capacity (10 or fewer rounds) Rival blasters. Carry a dump pouch of balls on your hip and you're good. I also took off the trigger safety which was annoying, isn't necessary and it works fine without it. You cannot load the Kronos without having one ball in the firing chamber; essentially it's a 4+1, not a 5 round blaster. The Sentry is genuinely 6 in the internal magazine, +1 in the chamber if you wish, so 7 vs 5. Given the choice for a battle I'd take the Sentry over the Kronos.

The pistol i got a while ago malfunctions now after i left it with my siblings. It's handle is way too uncomfortable compared to the Kronos as well.

Cheese and ham

X shot now has ball blasters coop so I think you should check them out.

I got a sentry a few days ago and they might have upgraded it bc mine can A: shotgun load And B: fire like a beast (but it sound like shooting a .50 cal sniper)

The liberator looks sick

Hey Frank im planing on buyng 2 aw imr batteries and placing them in my stryfe. Will the wires burn if i put 2 aw imr and 2 dummy batteries?

So budget budget rival blasters,nice

Thanks Franklin! I was somewhat salty that the Sentry and Liberator don't appear to have made it to the UK, but now I feel less upset. Coop (paraphrased) : If you want a Hasbro shotgun form-factor blaster, try the Artemis or its bigger brother, the Hades. Atlas & Hypnos: Are we a joke to you? Anyone - literally anyone: Yes.

Hey Coop772, I have had a question that has been itching my brain for quite a while now, and is how are you able to buy all of this nerf and non nerf blasters?

Coop I love your videos Keep posting!

Any idea how to fix the short dart gun ? My son took it out all apart and I’m trying to put it back together

Coop:We are not trying to hurt each other (proceeds to use a very sharp knife on a toy gun)

the liberator is one of my personal favourites

A theory is that they might be trying to reach markets with stricter laws against blasters which shoot stronger. Zuru Xshot Chaos blasters are available in the Philippines at a slight mark-up.

You can also just push the rival dart into the chamber in the Kronos, and then put another rival dart into the main loading thing in the Kronos to shotgun load it.

I’m having trouble pushing the gray thing back and fireing

Sentry is weak 60/70fps until you upgrade it with a Kronos spring or K25/26 spring and remove the air restrictor. However a upgraded Sentry is a great secondary.

The liberator reminds me of the MOG 12 from bo4

Bad day coop772 uploads not sad now
