Hi, I'm Luke. Today on Out of Darts: You've probably heard of it,
you've seen it all over YouTube, I finally got my hands on it. Let's get right to it.
This is the Adventure Force Nexus Pro. If you're finding my channel for the first time: Welcome!
There's a huge hobby of nerf modders, and I'm hoping that this brought you here.
This blaster is the biggest monumental change that we've seen in the entire time that I've
been in the hobby. I joined the hobby about six years ago, and this has blown me away.
the Nexus Pro is an evolution powered by Dart Zone from one of their previous blasters
which was the mark 1 and the mark 1.1 this one was available for 180 dollars
and even at that price i thought it was a tremendous value because
it is a hard hitting powerful right out of the box ready to go blaster
the Nexus Pro sits on WalMart shelves or online with free shipping for fifty dollars
i don't think that could be understated how amazing this is at a 50 price point this puts
you directly in the core of the hobby in the super stock category shooting up to 150 fps taking both
short darts and long darts with the included magwell adapter talon magazine compatibility
and a lot of other great features when i first heard about this blaster
i thought it was absolutely impossible that they released a blaster of this quality
at the price point they did and i am thrilled to say that this thing is the real deal and
it's probably going to be the most popular blaster in our hobby of any brand this year i
am super excited to get modding this blaster this video is going to be a little different
today i think if you want indeed depth reviews and people talking about the blaster as far as
features there are a lot of people that have beat me to that coupe had a phenomenal video doing a
dart comparison and all the compatibility and i think that's a really worthwhile
and drak had a great video naptown nerf had a great video and there's also bert bart but
what i wanted to talk about is where this is taking our hobby and how we should handle that
and my general thoughts on the blaster of course uh this is a hard-hitting blaster this is not
a toy uh we should make this really clear to newcomers that this is not plink around shoot
your your friend without eye protection this is a serious serious hobby grade blaster and at 50
i am blown away by what comes with it first of all most of my complaints about the dark zone Pro
which were really minor to be honest are gone i never really liked this collapsing body with
the pins the pins tend to rattle around and they really weren't preferred now i do love the styling
on this blaster and you do get some nice features rubberized grip rubberized stock textured foregrip
but the Nexus Pro gives us almost i'd say 80 percent of the features minus
a few ergonomic things but overall it is still a really comfortable really phenomenal blaster
ergonomically the blaster is as good as you can possibly want out of a 50 blaster the quality of
components and the molding and the shell thickness are all on par with their previous offerings in
the Pro line and on par with rival this thing feels rock solid it's one giant injection mold so
it feels very solid front to back i really want to take a moment to thank Dart Zone
the Adventure Force line and WalMart whoever was responsible for these decisions
making this compatible with the magazines of which there are thousands if not tens of
thousands out there already is just fabulous the last thing we need is another magazine type for us
all to battle over and figure out who's going to use what where you have some blasters that
use one type and some that use another i think this is just awesome and such a great decision
the blaster's got a pretty basic stock but it is a buffer tube stock so if you've got others lying
around it is directly compatible and so that's my favorite one nice airsoft stock i mean that right
off the bat is just awesome the blaster has the easiest change spring that i've ever seen
one of great little features a single screw here a quarter twist and you've got your spring out which
uh it's just an awesome feature they listened to the community they listened to their market and
they built an amazing blaster i have very little to complain about in my testing virtually all dart
types have worked just fine with the exception of things like accu-fakes accustrike waffles
men guns anything with a wide tip is not going to go through this barrel but at the 50 price point
you're still getting an aluminum barrel which i know how much stock aluminum costs that's probably
the most expensive part on the whole blaster outside of maybe the shell once you factor in
tooling costs but at their volume probably not the blaster also has another fabulous feature that a
few people have talked about it has a prime lock so those that are not familiar with the blasters
will not have to think about double priming a blaster and to be honest when you've got something
like the jet ceta you can double prime triple prime and cause a jam here and in the heat of
actually playing in a game it's kind of a little frustrating to be honest so i it's a very welcome
feature for me anyway it's also a feature you can disable if you really didn't want it our hobby has
changed so much over the last six years with the introduction of rival to blasters like the
ceta the c the s uh and now game face brands ver havoc prime the version their version of the ceta
along with all the 3d printed blasters and this is the next step and to echo what a lot of others
have said this is not only just a great value for the existing hobby this is going to bring a flood
of new people to our hobby and that is really exciting because i think it's such a fun hobby i
think this is a wonderful platform to get started i wish this was around when i got started because
boy does that beat my first alpha trooper with an orange mod works kit or what
i think the styling on this blaster is really beautiful it's a really nice looking blaster
it's got a kind of a kind of funky um dual rail thing here i've already seen that others have
designed rails here and i'm definitely going to do a a flat rail to make this all the same height i
think galaxy black would look super nice there peruso filament to just line up here and play
accents off the other dark gray or i guess it's a i'd call that a dark gray so i think galaxy black
will be real nice there these sights as goofy as they look actually in my testing work really well
it's sort of like a grenade launcher style site but because darts fall so much you actually could
train yourself to use these notches in a pretty successful manner and i actually think in a lot
of ways this might be better for some users than other types of stock because if you get a feel for
what notch you're looking at at what given range and you get better at feeling
what range you're at when you're in an engagement i think you're going to get a really great result
out of it that said they popped right off super easy to design some new ones and we are definitely
working on that i am planning a whole slew of mods for this blaster i only got my hands on one this
week so i was very late to the game but we are definitely going to offer a lot for this blaster
we are already in process on springs both a lower power spring and a higher power spring because
since this shoots 150 i think there's also the need to drop it down to 130 for hvz and down to
100 if you just want to play with kids or maybe around your house so we'll probably ultimately
offer three different springs for this blaster a rail some sights and then of course um we've got
an interchangeable barrel muzzle tip here rather so it'd be really easy to put a scar in there so
definitely gonna be working on that as well and i've already started modeling a slightly different
grip so there's going to be a ton made from this blaster both from myself and from other shops
and all over thingiverse and i think that's really fantastic with all of these newcomers
coming into the hobby i just wanted to remind everybody help them out educate them welcome
them to the hobby there's going to be a lot of questions online and questions in general that are
really obvious and are people trying to learn information some of them may not be willing to
google for 30 seconds so do be patient answer them help them out and i think we will grow this hobby
even further and i couldn't be more excited this blaster is obviously a tremendous value
it also performs very well in my testing i got high 140s up to 155 on a high end averaging
just under 150 with short darts short darts is really where it's at if you're new to the hobby
you'll learn that really quickly they're both more accurate and they fly a little farther so they are
definitely my preference the other huge advantage is that when you've got the actual magazine itself
the magazines are physically much smaller so you can carry nearly twice as many in the same
amount of space on your body and for me this is huge because i like to run light and lean and
move quickly and not be weighed down by too much tactical gear the Nexus Pro is in so many ways a
confirmation of how big our hobby is growing and it's going to be exciting when you start talking
to strangers about nerf modding and they've heard about it and i know we're all still calling
it nerf modding but really we need to rename that we do need to find a better name because
hasbro doesn't care about us the elite 2.0 i have a video coming up on that as well as soon as a few
other blasters get here but it's been incredibly disappointing tons of blasters where they've cut
the screws out and it's solvent welded together or glued together in different various manners and
unaccessible for modding without a tremendous amount of work or fixing or breaking the blaster
meanwhile third-party companies at major big box stores like WalMart are giving us what we
want and this is an opportunity not only to get a killer blaster for 50 bucks which just
every time i hear that i'm just like wow but it's an opportunity to vote with your dollars
support the companies who make this stuff and listen to us instead of just pumping out the
same reshells over and over and over and making them less modable than ever i think Dart Zone with
this Adventure Force line for WalMart has just knocked it out of the park next i wanted to really
quickly talk about the darts the darts that came with the Dart Zone Pro mark 1 and mark 1.1 we as
a community dubbed bamboo darts and i don't know who came up with that but it was very appropriate
they have little ridges kind of like bamboo and these darts have gone back to straight foam
but with a very very similar head and the most important part here is that the glue is fabulous
these are extremely durable i've shot them over and over at the concrete at one foot away
literally straight into the ground and the dart is still fine so these are some of the
best darts i think you can possibly get and they obviously work flawlessly in the blaster
um these are also on shelves very soon at WalMart if they're not already for ten dollars
for a hundred so ten cents a dart well that's a little more expensive than some of the other
budget offerings they are very good quality so i am super impressed with those as well
all in all this is just such a big shift in our hobby and it's what i've been waiting for
and watching as much as i would like to have been the company that released stuff like this i don't
have a manufacturing experience to do this kind of project and certainly not the contacts to get in a
big box store like WalMart this will spread our hobby all over the place and i couldn't be more
excited to see what they bring out next because we know this isn't it they've already
said they're doing more blasters as an initial offering this is just incredible i no company
has done this well with their first mass market product as far as quality value to the consumer
and everything it's really it's really fabulous and now this is starting to make a lot more sense
the Pro is now very much starting to feel like them testing the waters listening for feedback
watching our reviews i think and making something even better for mass market
that's not to say this is worse than this they are different there are some features
uh both sides that are better and worse depending on your personal preference
overall it's a win-win a five out of five and i can't wait to do more modding with this
i will have more videos coming up on this blaster specifically because it's too cool not to do
some more stuff before i go on an unrelated note uh this year's been kind of crazy i um
the business has been more of a challenge than it ever has and i wanted to thank you all for your
support if you're still watching this video right now you are one of those uh four or five thousand
subscribers that actually watches my videos and watches them all the way through
uh so thank you thank you seriously because uh i love making videos i'm doubling down on
the youtube content this year you've probably noticed the last four or five videos have a lot
more b-roll a little bit more behind the scenes and i really want to push that i'm getting an
editor and we're going to get the video put up to the next level on that note in relation to
quarantine i have spent more time in the last five months designing than i probably have the previous
year and a half maybe two years there are some really big projects coming they should be obvious
what they are and i'm really excited to share them with you. We're waiting for one component,
and then I should be able to ship as many proton packs as you want to order, adapters for about 10
different blasters, and some other surprises too. So, thank you so much for watching! Let
me know what you think of this blaster in the comments. I'd love to hear what other mods you'd
like for it, And I'm listening because this is next. Until next time, I'm out of darts.
