Author’s edit, 10/04/19: In case someone comes across this review, bulk packages of this type of dart have been in stock for quite some time, with 200 packs for $10 (and, when in stock online, 500 for $20) at Walmart under the Adventure Force line. Quite better than when the darts initially released!
Apologies for the lack of postings as of late! Any time not spent working has been spent driving to and doing HvZ Invitationals, or otherwise prepping for them. Which means I’m behind on reviews and video editing and game reports.
However, I will post an update on the Sure Shot darts – they did arrive, and they’re very promising!
The Dart Dissected
Stock Super Darts weigh roughly 0.97g each, according to the last time I weighed out darts. In comparison, the Sure Shots weigh 1.03g.
The packs retail (currently) for $15 per 100, provided you can find them. I got lucky with an early Amazon listing.
Performance
The Sure Shot darts are much better than regular Super Darts. They make the same range claims (up to 90ft), and with two Dart Zone blasters on hand (the Quatroblast and Dartstorm), the distances traveled were more or less identical (and in line with box claims). The big difference, however, was in consistency. Super darts have ZERO consistency, somewhat like Nerf Elites. Sure Shot darts were tightly grouped.
The darts also worked in various branded blasters without issue, from Retaliators to Thermal Hunters to Stampedes. u/abquintic also got some of these darts and did far more extensive testing.
I will be testing these darts further in a serious setting this Saturday at the Penn State HvZ Invitational, but I expect similarly stellar results.
Final Thoughts
These darts are the real deal in terms of improved performance over the original. And at $15 for 100, they beat Accustrike darts in price (75 darts for $20 is the best I can recall seeing, outside of sales). Of course, online bulk is still the best option for large amounts of darts (Accufakes, Waffles, etc). But for store-based sales and immediate needs, these darts are an excellent value.
