That's because Adventure Force is multiple companies... and this blaster is actually made by Buzz Bee Toys, but you're right: they probably shouldn't have stuff like this deluding their line.
@@WalcomS7 Well, Nerf has been declining for the past 2 years, 3 years once 2022 strikes… but Adventure Force NEVER struck this low ONCE. But there’s a first for everything!
@@WalcomS7 Tbf, Adventure Force is just Walmart's brand for many different toys, including toys that aren't blasters. Honestly I find it strange that Dart Zone/Buzz Bee/etc. don't just market their blasters at Walmart under their own name.
@@ryanymous2138 That's because all of the good "Adventure Force" blasters were by Dart Zone. All of the Buzzbee AF Blasters were only mid-tier anyways. Frankly, Dart Zone shouldn't sell their products under the Adventure Force line. There is a stark contrast in quality between them and Buzzbee.
As an adult, foam blasters are a guilty pleasure. Took me a while to sub to coop, took me longer to sub to drac, now it's your turn. Keep it up my dude.
@@ryancaling1711 absolutely. My son has airsoft and paintball and that's all fine in their own places but the 'play anywhere' aspect of foam blasters is liberating and fun.
That 80 claim on the box is how long your thumb needs to be in mm to reach the hammer, the box designer just misunderstood and put it as range in feet 😂
I'll tell you right now; the newest version of BuzzBee darts with the almost dome-shaped tips are the absolute worst darts I've ever encountered. They don't work well in their own blasters, they don't work well in other brands' blasters. They aren't glued properly. Some of them aren't glued at all. BuzzBee's got some neat blasters out there right now, but I wouldn't even use their darts for packing material because I'd be afraid whoever got the package would try and use them. I wouldn't wish them on anyone. I will run Elites, Zuru darts, Ultra, anything you want, but not those.
@Timothy Pak no, they are like current nerf elite darts but with a sharper edge, like a cone. the waffle-head adventure force darts knock it out of the park.
As someone who has already broken a Thundershot(same place, no less) , the spring is an excellent upgrade for an Xshot rapid fire. Shame it works so poorly, I love the aesthetic. Very cartoony
Just getting back into foam blasters now that my kids are a little older. And damn what a good time it is. Your channel is tops man, great info and entertaining.
You know what, when I was a kid I woulda loved the hell outta that thundershot, so kid's toy achieved! As for the Fortnite revolver, that stupidly long barrel reminds me of the '89 Batman movie when the Joker pulls out his comically long revolver to shoot down the Batwing
Remember the Sentinel? The Doubleshot? The Mustang 6? The good old days, when Buzzbee ruled the land of cowboy action blasters... Now merely a shadow of their former glory remains, living on only in memory and Tag Back episodes. O, how the mighty have fallen!
So disappointing that Bruh-zz Bee messed up this one. The shell looks great and it technically works (so better than some recent Nerf offerings) but that's noticeably terrible performance. It's almost as if they had to dial down the spring after focus test kids couldn't pull back the weirdly placed hammer. If you've got $10 to spend on a revolver, grab yourself an X-Shot Reflex, maybe even the upcoming gold one.
at first i thought “what? how can dart zone/ adventure force screw up this bad?” then after looking at comments i was like “ohhh so its buzzbee that screwed it up”
@@WalcomS7 Actually have been chatting with the VP there at Buzz Bee about the Sent, Brute, Destiny and a few others coming back. Even mocked up a paint scheme, and from our chats some there are on board big time. Time will tell though.
does the thundershot grip come off as a separate piece? I'm just thinking it might be a bit more usable with a rifle-esque grip, though there would still be the actual function of the blaster to contend with
@@gangwallbanger5864 Not really. Many of the blasters massively underestimate or overestimate the proportion of human bodies and their limbs and appendages
WalcomS7: "Wow, this is worthless!" Me. "It's less than worthless my boy!" Sorry for the repeat joke, you just gave me an excellent set for that spike.
Actually, later model Thundershots allowed Buzzbee to fix the problems with the Thundershot that plagued the first handful of batches. Primarily the flimsy hammer and internals. The ones in the first batches weren't intended to be shipped out to stores, apparently.
I will say with the fortnite 6 sh: while it's cool and functions well, modding it doesn't bode well for it. I put in the metal hammershot internals from Germany, as well as a spring upgrade. I've had nothing but issues with it since.
Yeah, they're citing my review for positives on social media...but my next post is about to retract my review because both of mine broke in the same exact spot.
In one of Coop's older videos on the New York Toy Fair at the time, he mentioned talking to the Buzz Bee rep and they said they do it on purpose. So...don't get your hopes up....
Thank god I’m still owned a pair of hammershots cuz they’re can be duel welded unlike the thundershot that can only fires at close to mid range, while the fortnite revolver is mostly accurate.
The Fortnite line is so underappreciated, nearly every blaster is pretty good. Then again, the Fortnite tax is pretty bad but it can be worth it (especially when thrifted)
Yeah but i live in a small town, and every time ive checked the local goodwill, i havent found ANYTHING. its like a fucking drought, the best thing ive ever found was dart tag micro, 30 minutes away from said smoll town
Just got the 6-SH and it feels really awesome to shoot, the hammer prime is really good, I didn’t put the barrel on so now I have hammer action Strongarm
Gotta say, I was kinda excited for the thundershot, kinda dissapointing... Perhaps I'll actually have to purchase a nerf Fortnite blaster. Huh. By the way, really been liking all these new uploads! Keep up the cuality qontent, Calwom!
If you haven't already, you might take a look at the Hammerstorm too. Sure, it's Alpha Strike but it's got some pop, better ergonomics than the Hammershot and an eight dart cylinder.
@@Jackalblade9 Yeah, definitely a bit out-there in terms of design, but I think it's pretty cool. I might have to do some more research on it, to see what my final choice will be.
When I get the fortnite one I’m just not going to attach the barrel and leave it off because it’s useless and looks terrible, the blaster looks great without it
I think one good way to turn the fortnote 6-sh into a revolver carbine woule be to fix a longstrike stock to it and modify the stock so instead of holding 2 mags it could hold individual darts or even dart clips for easier loading
From my experience the BuzzBee dart is worse than the elite dart. They are so incredibly inconsistent, it’s actually fun to use them. They do work as shotgun ammunition though
ah yes as coop said in the icon series review for it just launching "you guys can still love your stampede but its gonna get outranged by a jolt yes your going to get outranged by a jolt
Honestly I wouldn't say it's a good Blaster to play with but I would see it as a good cosplay gun just painted and give it a little details here and there and I would say it would probably look like a good Hellboy gun or any other gun from pop culture
I feel bad for anyone who missed out on the Hammershot because the Hammershot is pretty rare/expensive to buy along with the Nerf Halo Assault Rifle. I'm thankful I have it.
WS7 Fantastic review. Awesome comparison video. I had high hopes for the Adventure Force revolver. I picked one up last week and wow it sure is underpowered. You ROCK keep up the great work. I do appreciate how you seem to go into all of your reviews with an enthusiastic open mind.
I guess that the one pro with the Thundershot is that its proportions match quite well to those of an L-3 Nozzlenose so it would make an excellent prop
Lmao it literally looks like an enlarged hammer shot with the styling of a nerf fortnite blaster and the paint design of those shitty glock blasters on Amazon from china
WalcomS7 I have had a ADVENTURE FORCE mini gun,sniper, and 4 shot pistol i used every ADVENTURE FORCE dart and the shot up to there range and i say i love ADVENTURE FORCE gun in my opinion
it would be cool if the thundershot was good for modding given its big ol cilinder along with its oversized hammer that might help, but with performance like that i dont think it has a large or even average sized plunger
The one defense I will give for the thundersot is the shell is more modular in design for any modding interests. The grip is a two screw connection and the barrel is completely removable. Whether or not that's worth it is obviously up for debate, given it's poor stock performance.
I do rather like the look of the orange and blue revolver, the long barrel is pretty cool and the handle looks really comfy. As for the Thundershot... it looks pretty garbage; the ergonomics look super wonky, the grip and hammer look uncomfortable and the trigger guard looks very strange. Thanks for the great review Walcom, the new studio seems to be holding up really well and your production quality has improved so much since a few years ago! 💜💚
i bet the buzz bee team just climed up a 2-3 story building and shot the thundershot in a 35 degree angle to achieve 80 feet, or they just lied about it.
appreciate the bad takes being left in , shouldnt be getting into this because i know its adhd and fleeting , but ive been binge watching these and they are really well done.
WalcomS7 to the Fortnite blaster: This Gun Is A Thumbs up from Me 😎😎😎 WalcomS7 to the Thundershot: My Disappointment is Immeasurable and My Day is Ruined 😡😡😡
this always been the problem with dart zone in my opinion, they probably make some of the most high quality blaster this year, and last year, but they look… off like they have very less design and only care about the performance, which is fine but at the same time, i’m kinda bored seeing one dart zone, probably the only dart zone blaster i like are adventure force because they look genuinely cool but the rest… just feel design-less
I think I need to get the 6-sh. I LIKE hammershots, especially my metal kit omw one. So, I think the 6-sh would be an even better platform for my omw kit.
The “buzzbee” corporation (the people that made the adventure force guns) used to make some pretty cool looking guns back in the day that worked alright. I find now it’s like the middle ground between the premium guns of nerf, and those brittle Molded plastic dart shooters you buy at dollar general. Nowadays, the adventure force guns are those guns grandparents buy when a kid asks for a nerf gun at Christmas, inevitably leaving them disappointed.
The 6-SH is probably the only fortnite blaster I’d ever b interested in. Hell, I’d get 2 just so I could dual wield them 4 no reason other than it’s badass
I would absolutely chop/leave off the absurdly long and unnecessary barrel from the Fortnite pistol, otherwise I think it's a good hammershot design model... which is something I never thought I would ever say about _anything_ Fortnite related.
I heard today from American Foam that these were prototype versions that got mistakenly shipped to stores, and that they fixed this and released the one they actually intended version to stores. Same for the Tetrashot... Although that one only got the chain fixed as far as I understood, which wouldn't solve anything... Oh well, maybe the Thundershot has a chance now... Outside the grip
I got one of these before this video, mine came not fully put together and would shoot like 1 foot, so I opened it up and didn't see anything broken so I put it back together and it was working like in the video, except the cylinder doesn't rotate. So yeah, it is a sad blaster.
Walcom, the problem was in the blaster you had, i got one the other day and it works perfectly, it fires hard and i cronographed it at 92.6, and also, half the price and 8 shots, and yes i am 13 and my hands are alittle to big for the grip but its worth it for 8 shots, also it is faster to prime hammer operated nerf guns with 2 hands and yes its fun priming with 1 hand it is faster in a nerf war to prime with 2 hands, and biggest of all, its not fortnight
I adore the look of the 6-sh. £25 in the UK markets is steep for me, but I am eager to get my hands on one. I don't suppose there's anyone in this beautiful comments section who knows if the spring is a straight up Hammershot spring or nah?
I got one for 7 bucks at Walmart and I was able to get a max 60 ft of range on a straight shot. It’s not enough ammo for a primary, too big for a secondary.
