Bradley is one of the kings in this space right now. Thanks for all your hard work, hope your channel keeps growing.

There's nerf youtubers and then there's bradley, all this data just keeps geting better every weekend, thanks for the research man your content is great

okay, the dragon tooth darts are cool and all but I can only imagine the fear on an opponent when 20 of the whistlers fly over their head and my euphoria thereafter. SOLD

These may be stiff enough to aid in feeding and jam prevention in AEG type blasters. A bit more weight like 1.25grams might be better though. Back in the 90's a lot of the the nerf darts used to have a whistle feature same as these but the heads were bigger than the foam so no barrels were used just direct fired from clips.

Fun factor for home plinking, the whistlers get my vote.

Its the same difference between using standard ball ammunition vs. match ammunition in real steel firearms. For the overwhelming majority of shooters, the accuracy and consistency benefits of match ammunition arent enough of an advantage to justify the extra cost vs standard ball ammo. Optimizing for the final 5-10% of accuracy, velocity, and consistency costs 2-4x more in money and effort than getting 90% of the way there does. If you have deep pockets and crave that level of performance, yeah, these sound great.

Amazing comparison between these dart types. Thanks for giving us the low down on these darts. Keep up the great work

Great work, love the "not you ACC's" part 😂.

I thought that was snow when you first walked onto the range for the accuracy test! lol I was like, “Bradley, where’s your coat?!” LoL

Can you do a vid/short firing the screamers (whistlers) from the sweetheart on full auto?

Wow, at 30 meters these are even more accurate than paintballs that have a whole lot more mass or airsoft. I had never even heard of these kind of custom nerf-type guns or darts.

These firmer dart bodies should do well in stringers because they don'tget cheeswired as easily. Also maybe we could do double stacked mags with these?

Great review! Thanks! Will definitely pick some whistlers up!

I like the loud ones 😊

The whistlers are super sick !

Imagine those whistlers flying over your head on the field. I think those are made for suppression fire more than accuracy. I do like the idea of using them as a "low ammo" indicator. Have the last 2 rounds be whistlers.

Great job as always Bradley.

The lack of power with those new darts is probably what is called "cylinder to barrel ratio" in airsoft. Since a lighter dart moves away from it's power source more quickly, it's unable to absorb all the power from the gun, usually resulting in a louder muzzle report or piston impact in this case. Heavier darts and shorter barrels are generally a more efficient use of power, but there's usually different applications for these things.

We need to buy these so they get cheaper, and then people actually, FINALLY make double-stack half dart mags!

Flywheel blasters don't like the dome tipped Dragon darts. Especially the HC Diana. Whistler's may be OK though 👍🏻

One thing I have noticed about Worker bamboo darts is that if you reuse the darts, over time the accuracy starts get worse. Do you think that these new dragon tooth darts have more durable material and can be reused without suffering from a noticble accuracy loss? If so then maybe that could be an advantage of the dragon darts?

this man shall be coops successor

Whistlers certainly are fun. Thank you for the comparison video! Take care

Miniature nerf ultra screamer darts🤔

Excellent! Darts that cost 3x the price but have probably more than 3x the life-span (provided you can recover them)! If they use undyed foam or a fluorescent, improving recovery, their life expectancy well outmatches the value of the workers!

The only thing that's going to start making these darts fly as accurately as possible would be all computer-controlled foam & head formation, alignment of the center hole, alignment of the heads, precise cuts of the dart, equal distribution of glue for balance and each round must weigh the exact same for consistency! All of that said, you will be paying more for them as more has to go into them!

Thanks for the stats!

I wonder how the stiffer foam and stronger glue would do in high powered fly wheelers. Maybe less decapitations?

Do you think these would possibly be better fir the Storm? Better feeding and less squishy in double spring mags.

They're REALLY cool, but for 3x the price, I'd honestly stick with the Workers. If they can get the price down to comparable, I'll most definitely be interested!

I'd say that the two darts tied for the most part, but the best way to look at this would be power retention over range, such as what percentage of the OG power at what range. It's all a large balance though, since a moving projectile is essentially falling, and it's specific gravity will affect how fast it falls. Say a Worker falls 1m in half a second and an XYL does .7m in half a second, that combined with less air time leads to a flatter shot, but maximum range may be different. The fairest test would be to swap dart heads and body styles to really get a good comparison, as I feel that the better head shape is doing a lot for the XYL, whereas the Worker has a terrible shape.

Honestly, anything if they are re-using actual ultra foam so it don't go in to a dump, i would love using full leight versions in stock wars

Azure Dragon Glow Darts vs. these XYL Dragon Tooth Darts? Might make an interesting comparison video.

Brad, how did you upgrade that buttstock on the Apex Prime? Looks absolutely cool. Now im convinced to get the blue colour unit now!! Very well done video on the XYL darts comparison btw.

If the price were to be around Worker, and they were to change the foam to white.. I have a running theory that darts like XYL may be widely adopted. Although their accuracy is the same as Worker Bamboo, their durability in both foam and glue seem to beat it. If you have the desire to repeatedly use darts like my club does, that would definitely be a boon.

Would love to get the whistlers for a high dps smg style blaster and just let it scream on the field 😂

I actually find it really ironic that somehow you brought the darts from Malaysia (where I live, unfortunately) cause Nerf isnt really popular here at all

Just got a Phoenix 2.0 and not all darts are working that well. They chew up work bamboo darts. I gotta buy some more durable darts considering the crush.

when they get used to the whistler darts at the end of the mag thats when you start putting them at the top of your mag

Dragon tooth yay!

Can the flared Magwell be 3d printed or do only they sell it? 🤔

I wonder how they would fair in comparison to worker darts when fired from nerf AEG’s /HPA since one of the biggest problems with such blasters is the inconsistency of the foam quality. And for me my storm ruins the darts when they are fired out of the barrel.

screamers are Fun!!

I wonder how many times you could run each through a flywheel blaster to see how they wear down.

That's Dope af

So are these Actually compatible for a XYL Unicorn?

Regular 9m is like 22c , crazy lol

Love it

Do both darts work good in flywheelers?

does the flared magwell require any alteration to the apex?

How do they work in a flywheel balster ?

One thing I would of liked to see was them though a fly wheel

Wonder how the wistlers will perform in shells like the kirin

Nerf Did a foam like that for their ultra range.

Ive been dying for a whistling half dart for ages. I know its not the best thing for performance generally but its fun and definitely has a psychological impact. Kinda sucks theyre sold out. Monkeemods doesn't do a great job keeping things stocked. Ive had endless issues with their firefly and its parts

0.86 is not 3/4 of 1.01, it's 5/6. MUCH closer than 3/4. That would be 0.758

What Optic are you using?

Surface finish has very little to do with friction according to physics. Material properties matter and the weight of the object, not the surface finish.

The name of the company translates to “Little Moon”

I need this but in mega

oh I'm early early

It cannot be better than worker just because it's black colour, lol

"Black" color again??? really?? You CAN'T find it in green grass or concrete or else.....grrrrrrrrrrr

this is the guy you need to whatch if you don't like useless yapping
