Trying the Dart Zone Pro!

First of the posts after going to Apocalypse 2019 (that yearly NIC war out in New Jersey) belongs to the Dart Zone Pro. Drac stopped by and played, with the Dart Zone Pro in hand, before traveling to points beyond. And from the short time seeing it in action and handling it, I can say I’m sold.

D-Dart Tempest Review

The D-Dart Tempest was one of the most unique things on display at Toy Fair. A handheld gauntlet blaster that features full auto and 28 darts? Based purely on that, you’d expect a great blaster. The reality isn’t quite so great. It’s certainly not bad – far from it. But, given a few key issues, you may want to think about it before buying it (currently available at Target).

Dart Zone Destructor Review

Dart Zone is on a roll this season. They typically make good blasters for a decent price, but they seem to have outdone themselves this season. They have the semi-auto Savage Spin at Walmart. Meanwhile, at Target, they have the full-auto Destructor, a minigun-style blaster that feeds darts from a hopper. It’s the Commandfire, but made even better. It still has small hangups that come with using a dart hopper, but it’s a blaster worth checking out.

Adventure Force Savage Spin Review

It’s not often that I give a blaster top ratings. But there’s no way around it: as sold, the Adventure Force Savage Spin is an amazing blaster in every way. Incredible fps for a stock blaster. High rate of fire for a semi-auto blaster. Compact, comfortable. It’s this year’s HvZ starter kit – as long as you’re willing to break the mold and operate without magazines, that is.

Nerf Alpha Strike Fang Review

Earlier this year, we reviewed the Quadrot. It’s a small, powerful, fun blaster with four shots, for just $10. It also has decent modification potential, if you want more power.

If, however, you just want an inexpensive blaster that works out of the box, then Nerf has done one better. The Alpha Strike Fang may have questionable (but fixable) comfort issues, but it performs exactly the same out of the box at half the price. What more can you want from a stock blaster?

Nerf N-Strike Elite Trilogy Review

After the long absence of the Zombie Strike Sledgefire (and the bulky and silly “The Judge”), Nerf has finally given us another shotgun-type dart blaster. The Trilogy will not be everyone’s favorite flavor, but it doesn’t have to be. It just has to do its job relatively well – and it does. Even if sometimes the shell ejection is a bit finicky.
