Its hard to believe the hobby has an injection molded, performance FPS pistol on this level, but here it is, a compact, holsterable, internal magazine blaster that delivers up to 150 fps outta the box! Pretty unbelievable stat sheet. Mod guide coming soon.

Like how Drac saw the “117” and was like “that’s a good number”.
Only Halo fans would know
@@cheeks3181 Indeed.
@Marcus Hutchison Indeed, my friend
Never forget
@@Rancid_Ninja never.
i’m honestly kinda disappointed in nerf now, i’m glad that the community has come up to give us these new and awesome stuff
nerf has been letting us down for years
Makes me nostalgic for the N-Strike Era. Nothing beats the old-school mid-2000's modding scene in my books. I remember when people were just stacking springs into springs into springs in Longshots, Mavericks, and Nite Finders. The last gun I actually bought was either a spectre or a barricade, I don't remember exactly. Either way, Nerf is what really got me excited about mechanical design and engineering as a kid. Too bad they kind of suck now, eh?
Yeah I’ve been playing nerf guns for years now and then dart zone is taking over the nerf era if nerf can do the same as dartzone but that would be bootleg dartzone style
Nerf needs to retire or a redesign
@@yoyobeerman1289 We need A trigger
In 5 years this hobby will be called “Dart Zoning” at this rate.
Darting sounds pretty good
More like 5 months at this rate
@@Zane434. I’m ok with that. Hasbro has flushed their name down the toilet. And it’s not just because someone else is making hobby grade blasters. Everything Nerf for the last 12ish months has been crap.
I wonder y drac harted the comment after this one and not this one
@@DrewC41 2020 has definitely been the worst year for Nerf, maybe 2021 will be different
Man Nerf can’t even compare anymore. Dart Zone and Adventure Force is just dominating the market with great blasters and honest marketing
In terms of range claims, each 100 feet for Nerf is 100 inches for Prime Time Toys.
@Zacharie Nipperess true 😕
I'm going to be honest I think you are only partially right because 6-12 year old people and casual nerfers arent going to buy this but for everyone else yeah
Sad, but true. I'm glad that companies have finally started catering to the people in the hobby
No Dart Zone in Thailand😭
Old days : nerf or nothing
These days : nerf is nothing
So original
get in the dart zone
How about Nerf better than nothing
The future is now, old man!
So true
Dart zone is dominating the market,I really like where there going
The US market. Easy to forget they're not international, which is really annoying for us.
@@themandalorian9511 it’s actually they’re not their :)
Can you use dart zone mags as speed loaders?
No joke, the MK 1.1 is still my favorite dart blaster. Definitely getting one of these.
@@PrximaCentauri He cant edit it, so you are just wasting your breath.
Thanks for watching! Dont forget to leave me a like and a comment please, and if you can think of a cool mod to print for this, reply to my comment and we'll try and build it.
Please turn this into a MauserC96.
How much does it cost drac?
Possibly try making it talon fed so you could carry it with am extended mag, that would be pretty sick
Hey drac, I think printing a new silencer(007 style) for the front end would look pretty cool!
Yo
This blaster right here almost single-handedly has me interested in coming back to the hobby. This thing is everything I wanted from a nerf blaster.
Same! I stopped nerfing and I saw this and always wanted a pistol like this!
I'm 40 and I had Nerf guns the 1990's, but I've been interested in a blaster to bullshit around the house and use on an exercise bike.
Remember, switching to your sidearm is always faster than reloading.
Lmao
What is this from? I forgot.
@@MeanBeanComedy call of duty
RIP Gaz :(
@@spacedout4061 It was the wisest thing Gaz said. It was so wise it passed down to MW3 where Grinch dropped his primary and pulled out 2 Deagles.
I dare someone to count how many times Drac said “nice.”
“Real slick”
“Pretty slick”
Just slick

@@tibblesmaster5797 nice
nice
@@tibblesmaster5797
nice.
$80 dollars for a pistol that absolutely *demolishes* anything else on the market and an *included holster and speed loaders!* I was on the fence about $80 for the pistol, but with the holster, speed loaders, and faux suppressor I'll definitely be saving up for this one!
As someone who makes custom blasters and parts for way more than 80$ this pistol is a steal.
Its good also there is aeon pro
@@monke1919 lmao I didn’t expect to get a reply on this comment. I actually got it last week
@@monke1919 I find the Aeon Pro way harder to prime than the Mk2. My wife can’t even prime the former, but has no trouble with the MK2. It’s almost like magic, how it hits so hard and is so fking accurate despite the size and the ease of priming. Dunno how they did it-it makes everything else look bad. Truly. The only advantage other stock springers can possibly have over this thing is ammo capacity, as far as I’m concerned. And I find the clip/internal mag system on it very easy to use, to begin with! MK3 was impressive to me. But MK2 is on a whole other level, and leaves me questioning every other springer I’ve bought recently, or will in the future.
Dart zone honestly thought of everything. They really didn't have to include a suppressor, but they realised that it looks too much like a real firearm to use in public and it really shows they put the thought and care into thinking of their consumers and their needs by creating an add on to make sure everyone stays safe while using their blasters.
I clicked on this vid to see how Hasbro has gotten shut down this time
You didn’t already know it had
i feel like nerf went the wrong way with the ultra dart, if they made their own halflength dart blasters it would be really cool. people wont be as mad about the dart choice then
The problem was that Nerf wanted to cut out the 3rd party. If they started doing half dart they'd get some forgiveness probably.
and They'd actually be able to live up to the 100 foot range claims
They went ultra specifically to ditch the 13mm foam... they want you to rely on them for every part of the experience.
@@kyraptor2521 They wanted to cut the 3rd party out but the opposite is happening
@@IamtheWV17 you can also just not use ultra then and just cut out nerf of your hobby buy list
Drac:*mentions Silencerco, a real steel gun and silencer manufacturer*
CZcams: I see you have chosen death *removes monetization*
This review was a rollercoaster ride, except it only went up. No downs. Only up.
Very boring rollercoaster
Straight to space.
It's just compensating for Elite 2.0
... So an escalator?
Surprised you didn't mention the RoboCop aesthetic that everyone else brought up
I wanted him to say Robocop.....
@@SacGhostbusters I was waitin for it lol
>150 fps compact pistol
I fear no man, but that thing... it scares me
And I want one for Christmas
It's so great to see what used to be the underdog company that everybody was rooting for finally hit it big. I'm so happy for you and DZ/AF, and I'm excited to see what your teamwork can bring!
There needs to be more orange on the holster, other then that no complaints.
Two words: spray paint :)
@@joecunningham_mpls One word: tape 🤣
I think the holster should be more orange Heck have it say dart zone. And the grip should have more orange for when it’s in the holster.
@@Crunkboy415 zero words:
Four words: "Shall not be infringed."
I take a real .45 to Wallmart. Perfectly legal.
Ultimate loadout:
Primary: Nexus Pro
Secondary: Dart Zone Pro Mk2
Yes
And darts from dart zone
Yup
@Nah Halls not the dzp because it doesn’t accept talons and katanas
All Dart Zone needs now is a shotgun-style blaster.
I swear, I blink and all of a sudden Drac's got the new hot blaster
He drove to dart zone hq the day after it was announced to nab it, goes to show how much he cares
So happy to see that this company is giving Drac the respect he deserves
You're responsible for a whole generation of hobbyists
Top 10 blasters of 2020. Dart zone adventure force spectrum, dart zone adventure force vilinator, dart zone adventure force aeon pro, dart zone adventure force nexus pro, dart zone pro mk2.
Do I see nerf on that list? No
The honourable mention would be the nerf fortnite ir. It's definitely the best nerf offering this year. Which isn't saying much
@Eric VandenAvond the sportsman was very gimicy and not very practical. It was a gimic done well just like the dart zone shoot around corners blaster however they both aren't very practical
Steyr M1918: And that’s my great great great grandson. I’m so proud of him!
There it is, I couldn’t remember the name for the life of me.
So it's a flipping ultra compact pistol hitting 150 fps firing almost 100 feet flat and outperforming some primaries. I'm in love
Can't wait till this comes to the Adventure Force line
At 1:55 he says in conversations with Wal-Mart....
@@theycallmesocks1369 That's why I'm exited. If it's anything like the Nexus Pro/ Pro Mk1.1 situation then the adventure force version of the Mk2 will be nearly as good and considerably cheaper. (the nerf wars I go to tend to be a bit more casual so raw performance isn't as important to me)
@Eric VandenAvond I know the feels man. I know that the eventual adventure force version of the Mk 2 is going to be better bang for my buck but, the wait is gonna suck.
@@kommandantbaker very good point
I would love a Mk2 thats the same color as the Nexus/Aeon Pros
“117...that’s a good number.” I see what you’re doing Drac...sly dog
I dont get it
@@solarwolf678 he likes halo
@@Ty-bg7kz ok
The worst thing about these ranges from Dart Zone is that as a Brit i just cant get them :(
I was lucky enough to get my nexus pro shipped to the netherlands. Although i had to pay more than the 50☹
100 ft is around 30 m and 120 fps is around 132 k/h
@@the117doctor Thanks!
Im really referring to a lack of distribution rather than confusion over the units
Man the UK is such a hellhole.
@@weakestbutterscotchenjoyer can confirm
With the orange “suppressor” on, it reminds me of the M6 SOCOM from Halo 3: ODST
I always loved that pistol, unique to the standard magnum.
I wish that this was going to be available in the UK, unfortunately not yet.
Is this because of the FPS regulation in the uk?
@@derrickgilders6578 no, we're not Australia. The problem is that the "high end" Dart Zone products aren't available here. ASDA (UK Walmart) only has the cheaper Adventure Force stuff, I don't even know if Target has a UK branch and Prime Time Toys doesn't seem to ship internationally.
@@stevenbobbybills it is a FPS regulation thing. Anything that fires a projectile with more than 1J cannot be sold as a toy.
@@taemu_touhi1771 but they could sell it under some other definition and slap an 18+ label on the box, right? Airsoft guns can fly completely, with no restriction other than age if they're mostly unrealistic colours (which a mostly red blaster certainly meets).
@@taemu_touhi1771 also, I had to go and quickly check the laws on this, but I believe the airsoft legal UK limit is 1.3J for full auto and 2.5J for semi or manual. The "toy" limit seems to be 0.5J, which would be full lengths at 103 FPS according to a forum post I found. Realistically, you'd only have to put a spring that's about 20 to 30 FPS weaker in it for it to be a toy.
You say that it’s janky going into the holster.
Me: nothing is as bad as the sharpfire.
ohh, i forgot totaly that blaster
Blaster is even janky to fire.
@@Shiratto Yeah. It’s almost bad in every category, except spinning and being terrible, and it doesn’t even do that very well!
See this, Hasbro? This is why you're becoming irrelevant.
Nah Hasbro does more than Nerf. They have lead action figures. But Hasbro Nerf is done. This PISTOL does better than an infinus.
Nope, Hasbro will never be done. A just saw a mom at wally mart the other day filling her cart with nerf blasters. Even after I gave her some advice on good Adventure force. know why? She has a 10 year old son. All his friends have Nerf and that is what he wants also! your average mom is not bothered about performance. It about branding. It's Nerf or nothing (in their minds)!
@Ashton Lovell no they did not have those lol. She was getting some Fortnite and some other 2.0 I did convince her to get DZ waffles though. She got like 4 200 dart boxes. Must have been having a birthday party or something.
Correction: They are becoming irrelevant to hobbyists. People who are their most loyal base.
Everyone else is just fine with them.
As an additional note, none of these Dart Zone products threaten Nerf in most markets outside of the US and Canada, as their regulations on toy blasters prevent the sale of anything more powerful than regular Nerf Elite standard, and sometimes even demand that be toned down, hence gray trigger blasters.
When nerf wasn’t dead enough
They open the coffin and dump an entire pistol mag on the Nerf logo
Nerf no longer exists realistically anyone agree? Reply to agree
@@perryplayzzz what do you mean nerf does exist
In the space in between nothingness
@@iamb0i349 wat
Waited years for this and always wanted a colt based springer foam blaster pistol that loads darts in the grip handle just like its real life counterpart.. Though never imagined that dart zone would be the first toy company to ever manufacture it. Kudos!
HO. LY. Sheeit. DZP/AFP are showing us the LOOOOVE. This thing is definitely ending up in my loadout. And keep up the excellent work, Drac. I know we appreciate you crossing states to keep the content flowing.
I’m so exited, both for this video and the mk2.
This is really interesting. It’s kinda reminding me of a speed loading Kronos but it’s short darts. It’s an interesting concept and I like it. Only the reloads kinda wacky being kinda a reverse mag in grip thing
First one of your videos I've seen. Was excited to see someone handle this blaster, and you didn't disappoint. Got yourself another sub, sir.
Fantastic Review!!! I’m very excited for the future of foam blasting!!
"117 that's a good number" damn right it is. The Halo weapons are the only nerf branded blasters I'm even getting this year.
Now if Dart Zone made a "heavy weapons" blaster, Nerf is kaput.
I would live to see their take on the vulcan. If anybody can make a belt-fed automatic springer work as a performance blaster they can.
"I am heavy weapons guy, and THIS-" *Holds up a crazy dart zone minigun* "-is my weapon"
@Man_of_Many_Memes you sir, are a genius
@@kommandantbaker automatic springer? You mean slamfire right? Check out the crusher from x-shot.
I love seeing you genuinely happy with new products!
Drac youre simply the best...around. Nothing's gonna eva keep you down...
Would love if that silencer could turn into a scar barrel, could be a cool mod.
It's weird because this is like the accutrooper. It's more expensive than it should be, but they added useful gear that sort of makes up the difference.
I’ve been watching you longer than any CZcams I consistently watch and you have always had the most consistent quality videos, you’re not told thank you enough but, thank you drac
The pure joy on your face hitting the tree with the pro darts made my day
No,stop,they're already dead!
Dart zone:not dead enaugh for me!
*draws MKII*
so....A $20 adventure force version coming to Wal-Mart by Christmas?
Drac,
thank you for an awesome video. I do appreciate you trying to get out in front of the inevitable price debate.
For the blaster, a spring that will get the Pro darts to an HvZ FPS level is a must. That blaster is to awesome not to have on an HvZ loadout
This pistol is beautiful! Best side arm I have seen in forever.
I'm just waiting for a 100+fps hammer prime revolver and a pump action shotgun OR a double barrel. Dart Zone, don't let me down!
I wouldn't be surprised if the adventure force pro pistol was a revolver.
Wasnt really interested in the Aeon but this thing is WOW!
I already had the Nexus so when i saw the Aeon i was like do i really need this?
The main thing abut the Aeon was it was half the price of the Nexus. It's not bad blaster in its own right, but too big to carry as a sidearm to a Nexus. This thing looks like the answer.
@@ziploc2000 The nexus is a primary. so is the Eon it's like an m16 to an m4.
It's great to see you happy Drac!
This looks AWESOME! I can't wait 'till they swim their way across the pond. Super duper video Drac, well done, I can see how excited you are and I can't wait for a mod guide!
“The Adventure Force darts are hot...”
The only way to make this better would be a slide return. Woof.
The slide return would be in the way of reloading...
@@watyhu99 could use a slide lock
if you had a slide return then you would have to hold the slide back with one hand and reload with the other
Sweet video. Oh I’m super pumped that they’re making stuff like this for the hobby, it’s still a bit rich for my blood but I can dig it. Keep up the great work.
Want this. Looks so fun. Obviously there is love in the makers of these for our hobby. I would pick one up just to play with while I'm on my computer.
It’s a no brainer, this is a must buy for me.
Getting this for Christmas
Nfstrike boomco darts 2020 start the trend on every nerf video
Insane. Actually a really sick product so you can live your Robocop fantasies while being battle effective. Thanks DZ!
This is the pistol ive always wanted and now its finally here
imagine if dart zone makes a blaster like this but with external box magazines with the mag well in the grip
someone will probably make a mod for it, but it would have been nice.
Can we start calling it a compensator not a suppressor?!?
A loudener
Muzzle brake
no
The robocop-enator
An extendenator
This has me so stoked! The last couple weeks I've been starting to think of my own design for a more "normal" looking/sized pistol blaster and boom! Now we have one! I'm curious about the performance cap for this blaster. I just built a 200 fps prophecy and it flings the pro darts like no other so I'm super excited to get my hands on this mk2 and probably even a nexus and aeon. I anticipate much more great things from both dart zone and adventure force. Thanks for getting us in the loop Drac! You rock man!
Man, I've never wanted a dart pistol more than this one, that form factor looks incredible. I am glad they give you a muzzle for it though, because i do agree that it might attract some unwanted attention in a public space.
I’d be willing to drop the holster and storage, barrel extension, and maybe the extra clips for a lower price
Yeah
So they've effectively made a Steyr M1912 in plastic foam flinging form.
yes, with all the performance in addition to the coolness
I'm stoked about the holster!
This blaster is amazing im drooling 🤤 right now for one. Will be buying atleast 2.
Dart Zone Pro Mk. 2.5: now with return prime spring
How will u load it then? But nice idea
@@utkuhandegirmenci5488 if you had a tab on the magazine that actuates some kind of slide lock when the magazine is empty that would work
@@felonytaxevasion2773 Nice idea couldbe but i think that would be too good for our friendly neighbor nerf. But dart zone could definately do that
Well, that was fast.
Yep
I've been waiting for a pistol like this for a long time.
Drac and his halo references " Drac 2021: 117 hey that's a good number"
I would totally legalize this for Rag. Those outliars are insignificant in terms of actual pain because afs are light. It's effectively fine
You're already planning on making a printable speedloader, aren't you?
@@themagitechie9955 if people want one. I don't see the point considering it already comes with them
@@thanhavictus If they don’t sell them separately, then you probably should (I would). Imagine having an extra 4 or 8 on a chest rig... oh man.
Stoked if adventure force pro is going to get something similar.
The ya before the beauty shots sums the whole thing up.
Lord Drac
Kind comment as requested.
Fantastic review for a fantastic blaster.
Keep up the great work.

@@briannam1082 Same in Thailand
@『Robert E.O Speedwagon』 definitely.
Man who would have thought another company other would donate the market. This blaster is the best pistol on the market.
Never in my life have I wanted to waste money on a blaster. Until this video graced my feed
I literally got a nerf ultra pharaoh add on this video and I was like: *no*
Same
Notification Squad™.
i like were this is going, i like the fact that a 10 year old kid can go to walmart or target, take one of these home, and be competitive with these blasters. thanks Drac for the great review.
After trying and having email in-stock alerts for over a month and a half I finally was able to secure one of these. I never thought I was gonna get one.
Don't get me wrong, this thing is awesome, but I can't be the only one who was expecting an external mag.
But... I’m wrong handed 😞
I have to say I love the MK2 and can't wait to get my hands on it.
So hyped for this. Looks bad ass too.
Lol imagine being a noob and not being in the twitch fam.
Um that's racist I'm left handed that should be a left handed gun I can't have any fun with toy blasters these days without being right handed
Tf????
All of a sudden a right handed blaster is racism
@@Erolsaurus *yes*
I stopped buying foam dart blasters two years ago...but I think I am in love with this new gun
Okay, that actually looks super badass
Keep up the good work dracc
That’s so cool can’t wait to get one. Thanks for the tip on the discount for the MK1.1 I should be getting it next week and I can’t wait to test it out.
An old school mod guide video for this would be super cool. I do love the old school style videos.
Drac your the man for these early videos! Dart Zone take my money! Took a while to get my Nexus, Aeon, Spectrum and Villianator here in Oz. But I got them and they are awesome, just have to wait again now for this masterpiece.
Just spent the weekend fitting your Derez kit to my Spectrum and it is insane! Thanks for the video and everything you do for the community!
BTW Fang revamps are the best!
