In no particular order and based on my experiences: 1. Megalodon - the finest mega dart blaster yet, slightly larger than a Magnus or a Cycloneshock but plenty of firepower as long as you can play on the hip. Works better with Mega Accustrike darts. 2. Perses. Great out of the box and a good value for $50 when I bought it on discounts a few months back from Target. 3. Nailbiter - a gimmick to be sure but another resourceful, 1-hand blaster to use as a secondary. Great shell design 👌 4. Dart Zone Pro. Enough said. 5. Dart Rover. Just kidding, Rukkus ICS-8. Nah I can't bring myself to fake that. Tie between Fortnite SP-L and Quadrot. Both nice sidearms for Megas with reliable performance and a nice enough price (I have seen the SP-L drop around $15 and it's a little better and easier to aim without the ovoid barrel).
It was just too expensive for me :( Hopefully they will make a reasonably priced pistol soon. I can probably just mod a Kronos with a k26 and a half dart mag mod.
I think the list is good, I personally would flip 1 and 2 just because the dzp is not available for everyone to get being that its sold out. Otherwise great choices as usual Drac.
I think this video shows why Drac is so great. For the target market; did you see his face when he was talking about how that blaster lights up in the dark? For the competitive sport guy; he talked to you as a peer For the parent he raised the most important points (although I would have preferred if he released this vid 3 weeks ago) And for the creepy weird guy; drac demonstrates his engineering background and explains his thought processes This is a guy who loves NERF and is absolutely expert in this field of study
Agreed on the Revoltinator. I love how it looks and also the value it has as a toy with lights and sound. I think that's funky. And I'm super jealous that the DZP doesn't ship to the UK yet. Here's hoping! Thanks for your hard work!
I'm not a super serious nerf collected but I have 2 original stampedes and mavericks. I also made a legendary mod that I think you would like but it looks a little silly without maximum customization. It's a titan cs-50 that was completely torn apart and made it to where it has 2 sets of flywheels and the barrels got cut off and replaced with rifled centurion barrels. It has 30 rounds per second. It takes either a Lipo or a 9volt battery. I painted it silver black and gold. I think you would like it, TRY IT.
Your list was right on the top 2 were so nice I bought them twice I even bought a reflex sight for one DZP and put a crossbow scope on the other and they make it wool good and can be zeroed enough yo use for aiming especially with a Scar barrel
Cool list for the most part, and while I disagree with some and agree with others generally it's all according to personal taste. But I can't disagree enough about #3 I'm afraid. When Dart Zone KNOWINGLY releases a blaster that underperforms, hiding it with "Performance FPS" instead of an actual numerical claim, that's a really bad sign. Worse was that they did it TWICE this year. Mod potential's irrelevant to me, one video ago we saw you could mod PVC pipe with enough determination, and I'm sure some maniac out there's got a Deploy with terrifying performance. The Liberator represents a warning to me, not something to be lauded or praised. All that said, keep it up, Drac. Much praise for standing up to Hasbro on the Nerf Ultra issue. Stay cool and happy holidays, sir.
Mmm 3 of my favorite blasters on the list. Glad the Liberator was leaked in person by Dart Zone at Foamcon. Can't wait to see what they bring this year.
Hi Drac- Where and when can you get the Perses on sale for $50? I've been keeping a watch on Amazon but it's been $100 for the last few weeks. I am looking to get this blaster for multiple reasons but I would like to know that info.
Could the DZP take a horizontal grip to give it a shotgun prime? That was my only issue with a lot of the hobby class blasters is that I'm not a fan of vertical or angled grips.
@Ashton Lovell 1. The shots are fast and hurt 2. If you train yourself you can do it for 3 seconds or less. I do it. Well not original Nerf but blaze storm is the same double breach
Yeah, I'm concerned about that too. I really hope Drac is just spouting random nonsense and didn't actually hear some bad news from his buddies at Nerf's R&D department. They killed off so many great series already (Rebelle, Doomlands, Alien Menace, etc.). I really don't want Zombie Strike to die.
Love the xshot orbit looks. But sadly mine.... (I went through 6 of them) doesn’t work with anything except xshot ammo. Start to think that they sent the influencers a slightly different version of the orbit :-( I really like xshot is also going into the rival territory but they really need to work on their quality control. And special thanks to Lord Drac on DZP, I went and pre ordered it right after your video and loving it!
The DZP would have been awesome if it wasn't limited edition and IF IT WAS SOLD IN CANADA! Until then, it's unfortunately an irrelevant blaster to me. Perses FTW.
Please do an X-shot Chaos mod. I have two of them and they are lucky to get every other round out of the barrel, even with X-shot ammo. Would love to get these up to par.
I had to order two and a hundred rounds through Amazon. Got tired of trying to find it on shelves. Still haven't found the liberator and now you can't even find them online.....bummer.
