hey what's up folks it's Brett and today we are looking at the Dart Zone Max Tomcat I reviewed
this Blaster not long back and I had some pretty positive things to say about it it's got good
performance good capacity a little pricey at 70 usd but I think a lot of people have really
liked this Blaster and many have considered it the best Dart Zone release of 2022. that said I still
had some personal problems with it look maybe not problems but just things that weren't ideal for me
personally when the cylinder or drum is installed on the Tomcat you can see that it juts out quite a
bit and when I put my arm out to primed Blaster well it does kind of get in the way so I have
to chicken wing pretty far out so that I miss it the entire way on my Prime back something you can
definitely work around but the modding Community said let's do something about that and as
mentioned in my review video Bobo Innovation was the first person to kind of take the stab at least
that I saw at rectifying something that seemed to have a pretty simple solution because one of
the great things about the Tomcat and I think it's a similar thing you'll find on the deuce
Pro you can now just single load a dart there's nothing stopping you from just loading a dart
like so and single firing this Blaster this bridge is completely open and Fire
ta-da so what can we do with that well bubble Innovation said let's make it magazine fed
and lo and behold that's what we're looking at today along with a couple other goodies now this
Talon mag adapter is super simple but super effective and as you can see he sent me two
he sent everything in this box free of charge but these were the things I was most interested in I'd
heard about these adapters I'd seen one in person and I was going to get one for myself and then he
said hey what if I send you this you want red with gray or do you want gray with red installing the
adapter is super simple I don't even know if I would consider this a mod I mean that's it
and now it's out and now you can put the cylinder back in soup they only go one way so it should
look about flush with the Blaster if I turn it over like so it does not jut out on the sides
at all it does protrude a little bit from the bottom as you can see right there it's flush
with the top so I think this is as far as it goes that might be something that can be improved upon
but it doesn't detract from the overall look and what I love about this too is that even
though These are 3D printed Parts because it's pretty much flush inside the Blaster
you're never actually hitting it you hit the shell before you would actually hit this piece I'm not
worried about this thing breaking like I would be if it was jutting out off the side but that
is amazingly simple and I love it and so what is it advertised to do well it's advertised to then
fit with a Talon magazine this is a clear Talon with a Extender on the bottom so you just pull
it out when you're done or if you want to switch to your cylinder you just again pull the entire
thing out here's an orange Talon with some darts just to prove it oh somehow I turned the safety on
and now you can see my arm oh it's not overextended too much because
now the beautiful flushness of the Blaster ah yes
let me take that out all completely let me show you the other one installed
easy peasy and for those who are asking is it compatible with dart zones half Dart magazines
well the answer is no of course if you don't care about it falling out of the Blaster just holding
it vertically you could just hold it in place and you can basically close the reach at that point
yeah no it does not lock into plays unfortunately likewise what I have found this is a green Tachi
Magazine from out of darts I don't think these are compatible as well like it kind of fits into well
it fits into place and it kind of friction fits until I hold it up and there it goes it might have
something to do with the lips being more defined on Talons than tachis as you can see right here
I don't know there might be something more to it I just know that you'd have to hold it in place
for it to work and then of course the Dart Zone Pro magazines or the uh just half Dart magazines
the lip is in a completely different spot so no those are not going to work so I know that might
be a slight disappointment for some people but when it comes to Talons the compatibility is all
there it works great another couple things that he included were some replacement foregrips these are
two different versions one is a Picatinny style rail for aftermarket grips and one is a version
that works with the existing like Dart Zone style grips so you just unscrew the foregrip there
when you take off the included foregrip it does give you a little bit of Picatinny real estate
there and this piece is designed to go right over that and now you can use that as your pump grip
replacement or you can put another grip on top of that if you just want something that's more
particular because the one that's included is again just a little too small for some
people's grips of choice you will have to make sure that it does fit when the grip is all the
way in this backwards position because there's not a whole lot of space right here but it's a
nice option if you wanted something that wasn't this another piece included in this adapter set
was this little guy it's just a replacement for your follower on a Talon magazine so it'd go
right here and it's supposed to stop uh you from dry firing when the magazine is out of darts this
is your last Dart now and it will not fire it's just affixed to this plastic piece so now if I
put this into the Blaster and try to prime it Forward on that last Dart it's not going
anywhere and it's not really damaging any part of the magazine because this is a nice soft and
Squishy Nerf dart so basically it gives you a use for your unused Nerf dart heads the last little
piece that I was gifted was this two of these little shims basically something that's going
to fix the wobbliness of the stalk because I did note that as another kind of big problem
with the Tomcat here is your stock it's a cool looking stock wiggle wiggle lots of Wiggle gets
a lot worse too when you fully extend it well we can take this little shim and we can put it
just like that and we put the stock over it I suppose you also could put it on the top
like so but I believe the intent is with these little notches that you can put it on the side
of the Blaster and now if you slide your stock over like so you have reduced wiggle
a lot less wobble at this point now you've got a stock that may actually be useful especially
if you want to use it in the extended position I'm not going to say it's completely destroyed
any chance of wobbling but it's a night and day difference compared to not having that little shim
inside it's a nice little option if you want to print that as well so huge thanks again to Bubble
Innovation for sending these pieces out I know I'm going to use my Tomcat a lot more in games
as a result and now I have some options on how to use it in a different way that might be even more
comfortable than before thank you everyone so much for watching and I will see you next time
