What's going on with Adventure Force Blasters!?

- I went down to my local Wal-mart and the only new NERF blaster was the Adventure Force Tetrashot made by Buzz Bee...so I picked it up to do a review video on it because I was pretty interested in the whole big shell chain thing. Turns out I got another lemon, because this thing doesn't even work right and it's the second blaster in a row where this has happened. I don't know what's going on with Adventure Force Blasters, but I really hope Buzz Bee Toys fixes it...

First on @walcomS7 comment
Rework this bad boy into a shotgun using a Longshot plunger tube!

I hate to break it to you, Walcom, but you're wrong about the Nexus Pro being released as a Dart Zone product. The Nexus Pro's box literally says it's from Adventure Force so that means it's sold under the Adventure Force brand.
@@ofearghailthefearless6481 What? I said it was made by Dart Zone because it is. It's sold under the Adventure Force line at Walmart. dartzoneblasters.com/product-category/pro-blasters/
There’s something kinda nostalgic about the return of awful terribad buzzbee blasters in a weird way.
I like when they dont fuck up. The sentinel was great
Buzzbee blasters even looked terrible in the commercials back in the day
@@EmeraldCoasttt for some reason their marketing strategy is giving kids colour seizures or replicating pride flags
I totally get what you mean, it's bad....but like in a good way?
Lore accurate!
Mongoose Jake has actually been designing ways to make the blaster a true chain-fed shotgun. It does show promise, but I can't really accept the fact that that's how it does stock.
Mongoose Jake loves BuzzBee for some reason beyond me. I personally haven’t been wild about any BuzzBee I’ve ever gotten. The sniper rifle in the action set, and the double fire shotgun have been fun to use with my kids I guess. I just feel like BuzzBee looks and feels cheap. For similar prices you can get far superior options made by xshot and dart zone, heck I even prefer nerf to BuzzBee…that’s saying a lot! Lol.
@@pickboy77 Yeah, he sure does, grew up with the brand. However, thankfully he has shown that he isn't a flat-out sellout upon SLAMMING BuzzBee for giving him a great working Thundershot revolver with a catch, but then selling even worse internals with the on-shelves public release versions.
(Spoiler: the retail Thundershot has NO catch, just the trigger holding back the plunger rod leading to poor performance and undoubtedly short lifespan).
Would’ve been cool if it had a four stage trigger so you could essentially get a four round burst if you yanked the trigger, but could potentially pull of single shots as well
Yes that’s what I want
Say “a mongoose”
I'm afraid the regular costumer will get confused with the multiple factories under the Adventure Force "brand". If a costumer gets a Aeon Pro, he'll probably be really satisfied with the purchase. But, if he ever has the unfortunate idea of picking one of this crappy ones by accident, he will probably never buy a Adventure Force blaster again. In a time that DZ is trying their best to step up their game, I feel like the indirect association with the likes of Buzz Bee might bring them down. Nerf is still the household name for any foam blaster, so DZ still as a long way to go,they don't need any crappy blasters dragging them down.
Also, great video as always! Glad to see you are picking of some steam again!
Totally agree, but wouldn't be a problem if they were all pretty good! That being said, the Aeon Pro is clearly under the Adventure Force Pro line.
@@WalcomS7 Hum, yeah, you are right. The Aeon Pro was a really bad example. But there are other great blasters under the regular line-up, like the Villanator or the Spectrum that might still be a victim of that confusion.
I mean, Doesn't Dartzone beat nerf in shelf space now?
@@nimbizol811 Maybe, but that doesn't mean that suddenly Nerf isn't the household name for any foam blaster anymore.
@@nimbizol811 Nerf has world wide shipping
The buzzbee darts remind me of a line in fallout new Vegas when you ask chet about surplus ammo.
"Its all about quantity over quality trouble you'll be cleaning and fixing your blaster more often with those kinds of darts"
Well.......................That was a nostalgic kick in the head I wasn't expecting.
meanwhile dart zone waffle darts: heh look at this scrub *_produces GOOD bulk ammo_*
@@WanderingTetsubo Ain't that a kick in the head?
@@pjusttheletterpreally.noth2995 yep.
Crom laughs at your tetrashot. Laughs from his mountain.
Buzz Bee is really dropping the ball. I mean, not that they ever picked up the ball in the first place.
More like they attempted to pick up the ball, failed, and just sat on the ground waiting for someone else to pick it up.
@@Pancakewafflers luckily, Dart Zone did.
Hasbro threw away the ball, and picked up the old dusty ball that are gimmick blasters.
Buzz Bee just tried so hard to be like Dart Zone and started innovating things that just don't make sense
@It’sFreeRealEstate Hasbro learned this the hard way with Ultra.
Perhaps they should just leave Dart Zone as is and return to where they're good at just like what Hasbro did.
I mean I love Dart Zone as much as the next guy, but the Pro MKIII is just absurd. I can forgive the MK2 and MK1, but for something that already exists in the modding space to be 100+, I have no words. But they've earned the right to overprice blasters so there's that
Buzzbee used to be good. Back when it did air pump blasters. The big blast, barbarian, maniac, air max 6/10, and blastzooka. The boss, barron, and tyrant were pretty good for the "mega sized" darts, and the tyrant had a 20 shot magazine.
Coulda. Woulda. Shoulda. If it was a chain fed shotgun, well… it probably still would’ve sucked but it’d be fun.
I would accept those distances if it was a shotgun lol
@@WalcomS7 so make it one. Gut the firing mech, slap in a titan tank or a drain blaster, and you've got a rapid-fire four dart shotgun
@@WalcomS7 There's a mod for doing it, but if you have to mod to make it do what it should just do out of the box...
It is too bad for Dart Zone and Zuru that their blasters sit alongside this garbage under the same name. Some kid picks this up, it's junk, and their parent will maybe never by another Adventure Force blaster.
It would be cool to mod this thing with a real plunger tube and to shotgun all 4 darts every time.
I did wish that was the case.
I feel like Buzz Bee wanted to innovate as well, but failed miserably
@@boid9761 if it did shotgun it would actually be cool AND ACTUALLY GOOD but nope
@@Damian-cilr2 Rival Helix: You're not supposed to do that but if it works it works
Tetrashot: I can only shoot one at a time :(
good thing here in Hungary every foam blaster runs under their makers name, i bought quite a few zuru x-shot blasters and all worked well.
Dr. Flux has succeeded in modding it to fire 3 to 4 darts at a time, as shown in one of his recent clips. I think he's still refining it further, though.
Damn I was really hoping Buzzbee would make a comeback this year and possibly be like the darling Dart Zone was last year (and still is). Who knows maybe they're learning from all of this.
3:16 *feel his excitement, feel it*

@@WalcomS7 *sad fire emblem noises*
I've already seen one of these in a goodwill, I was not impressed
Im so used to youtubers living on the east coast, california or canada that I'm always shocked when i hear walcom or any youtuber say that they are also in washington
If it was a shotgun, I would’ve bought two of them as soon as they came out. Even if it had Sledgefire ranges.
BuzzBee making a legit grip!? Nerf making the last Rival? Guys. . .you know what this means. . . we got like 10 more years before Armageddon.
I saw this at Walmart. Showed it to my fiance, she looked away from the bright colors. I put it back on the shelf, backwards.
Dart Zone: Fantastic.
X-Shot: Will they ever introduce a flywheeler?
Boomco:
Nerf: Falling apart, but I can forgive them because they are releasing some good blasters.
Buzzbee: *s h i t*
This is really sad. I watched American Foam's review, and it malfunctioned while he was stress testing it.
Buzz Bee is just falling apart, and dragging DZ with them in the process
Meanwhile Hasbro returned to the early 2000's and it's actually working for them
Well, Buzz Bee seems to be returning to the early 2000s too...
@@maitele Well, can't say it's all a positive for everyone
Seeing the blaster on the shelves brings back nostalgia for the Vulcan....Range tests of the blaster make me think my old worn out Vulcan can do better than this.
3:24 This feels like the tweet praising GameFreak for giving Ponyta a proper turning animation lol
Oh don't get me started on GameFreak.
Ooh, can I see this?
@@WalcomS7 I’ll gladly watch a Walcom rant on modern Pokémon games, I’m hopeful for Legends Arceus though. Looks like they’re really doing what people have wanted for years
Ah that buzzbee yellow, bring back memories of getting those shell ejecting rifles from way back to an impulse buy deep in the night at a ratty kmart. Gotta love that buzz mark of quality to see the halves of the shell separate as you twist it back and forth.
OH thanks for clearing up the 3 company thing! I was starting to get really confused how Adventure Force was killing it in some areas and just flubbing others!
Yeah adventure force x dart zone/prime time toys make very, very good blasters, and overall give nerf a run for their money. But buzz bee blasters are just those random spin offs that you would find at a toy store or Walmart/target or something
I wonder how many revisions it went through to get to this as the final form
Gut it, and either:
-Strong shot all 4 at the same time to get a shotty....?
-Put a pneumatic pump and brass to make a cool bolt action.
Man, this is rather disappointing, to say the least. I’ve never owned a buzzbee blaster, and always regretted passing on the Sentinel, so I thought these blasters would be a worthy pick-up. BUT I always want to try things for myself, so while I’ll pass on this one and the Thundershot, I think I might give the Equalizer two-pack a chance 👍
The spectrum is good
Flame! It used to be nerf or nothing, that isn't the case anymore. When I was a child, I thought Buzzbee was steering clear of Nerf patents. As an adult I know that isn't the case, but what market are they reaching? Grandmothers is all I can come up with...
It won’t be long until people start thinking that the Tetrashot and Thundershot are from DZ and a “DZ bad” train starts lol
A little worried about that, hence the discussion at the start.
i kinda want to just use the shells one at a time, like just load the shell in fire 4 darts and the shell automatically ejects like something that uses microfusion cells in fallout
Cool idea! I tried this, and once you get used to the chamber sequencing, it's a nice option to have. Loading one shell at a time is more awkward and time consuming, of course, but at least the links can be easily re-connected if preferred. : )
So, got brought over by the Modern Rogue. I used to love Nerf as a kid, then I discovered cosmetic modding for props and what not. But modding for more... punch? Makes me smile. I know that's not the thrust of this video at all, but I'm here for the ride now. Thanks for doing a collab with the knuckleheads over at The Modern Rogue. The air pressure toilet plunger launchers were fun to mess with, but the retooled Rival had me sold.
Same energy on the reaction to the grips as the AVGN had to LJN making just one game that didn't suck
I won one from Adventure Force's Facebook page and I swear it's the quality of the darts that hurt the blaster. I tried it with AF waffles, Xshot and Elites and it fired a lot better.
I love how walcom goes for an oddly positive rant about the tetrashot’s grips.
FOR THE ALGORITHM. PLEASE BLESS THIS GOOD WALRUS BY MAKING SURE THESE VIDOES STICK IN THE RECOMMENDED SECTION OF ALL THAT HAVE SUBSCRIBED
Honestly, if this blaster was made with higher production quality I'd say this could be a legitimately great blaster. Higher capacity than a Villainator with a sorta smaller form factor, or at least a thinner one. Chains like this have potential with how they can be more space efficient than drums or mags, but they just have to be made by an actually competent company lol.
Dart zone: Advanced, good guns for good prices.
Nerf: Decent guns for expensive prices.
That one random adventure force gun: Bad, weird magazine, looks like a child's toy gun
What’s up walcom how is ur day going I’m looking forward to ur stream tomorrow night!
Wholesome
Lol
I've always thought of buzzbee as a small child blaster line.
walcom: *posts*
me: *i am speed*
I love how excited he is about the pump main grip
3:17 the pure joy on his face makes my day
I found it so entertaining to see how happy you got about the useable grip, it's about time Buzbee did it though so I get where you're coming from. I really wish this blaster was better, it would be so cool if it fired four at once, with a larger plunger tube and the AR mechanism taken out, it may just work. Thanks for the video Walcom! 💜🧡💛
Thank you for doing these recent BuzzBee reviews. Not many TH-camrs seem to be reviewing things they know will perform so poorly. I like these reviews so I can be certain to warn children and parents who know very little about this hobby not to buy such things.
I've been recommending The Villainator as a great entry blaster, and I own three to use as loaners when playing with others who don't have their own loadouts.
"Obnoxiously sweaty" 😂
Yeah, I hear a lot of confusion about the more recent Buzz Bee Adventure Force releases... Hope they re-evaluate, but then, kids aren't that critical and parents are the ones doing most of the buying. If it doesn't hurt sales enough...
Ive been following your channel for like 7 years now, and I really gotta say, the quality of these videos keep me coming back even tho I dont buy new nerf stuff anymore. Also, witnessing the growth of the beard and hair has been fun, it looks really nice on you :)
That's the nicest compliment you can give to a creator. Not the hair thing, the fact you don't buy NERF stuff but still watch my videos which are all about NERF stuff. Thank you.
@@WalcomS7 If I had the money, storage space, time, or friends to shoot at, id probably still be buying more blasters. But for now I just enjoy watching you review cool stuff it tickles my brain just right
xshot zuru is actually half-way decent (when moded) it just makes for a cheaper mod or just blaster in general since their pistols shoot a tiny bit above nerf's average
Remember folks: Buzzbee made the Sentinel a few years ago.
I Was confused about the adventure force thing. Thanks for explaining it
Buzz Bee whiffin' an easy underhand toss yet again.
Buzzbee shouldve made it a shotgun. It wouldve been so badass to have a chain fed shotgun
3:17 dang he got so emotional and excited on this moment, that he even got sweaty😓. Not to mention there is a timecode for this specific moment! Wwhow!
I'd love to see if that smart AR on it can be taken out to rig it to fire all four shots at once.
Walcom, it is so important for you to keep reviewing bad blasters. If they are crap, we need to know about them. I started to watch you because.. I can't stand "Lord draconical" and Coop ran out of videos, and honestly you're one of the best ones with your honesty.
if you don't tell us that the blasters are crap, we may getthose hunks of junk.. I have a few I've yet to open that you just named that .. I need to take back it seems.
This title should be what is going on with Buzz bee adventure force blasters
dart brands really don’t want us having multi shot shotgun blasters huh
Interested in what the internals look like. Hopefully its just bad tolerances and not something un-modable.
Nobody, literally nobody
WalcomS7: IT DOESN'T SUCK
YOU DID IT ! IT DOESN'T SUCKKKK!!!
Please mod this. This design has so much potential.
Perhaps dismantle the chain and use each section as individual shotgun shells. Even a single Barrel breach load that is powerful enough to fire all for at once would be so much fun.
Bro got so proud of buzzbee with the grips it’s so funny but understandable
I also live in Washington and am dealing with the heat wave, your not alone!
It flies 90 feet in perfect conditions in a factory lol
I got lured in by the grips and then they broke my heart with the crap chain linkages (and FPS).
Hehe yeah first good grip from buzzbee, ended up being mega crap, which sucks, cuz it SEEMS sick
Mine was a dud as well. Like, it didn't work at all, would fire a dart, maybe advance, maybe never advance. Performance was awful. And the chain plastic stressed to a white colour just linking the chain. I returned it, and am just going to get another Boomdozer. No more Buzzbee for me unless I see some positive buzz :P
Having nerf is bad enough, but buzzbee joined in, hmmm if buzzbee do this , it will die faster than nerf
Yeah that heat wave was unbearable. Glad to see your rhythm coming back.
I had a little better luck with mine but I found the chain links weak. It's really comfortable to use, I hope they find a way to improve the basic design. Maybe a pinned chain.
Random man: *brings gun to school*
The gun: *the weird gun on the thumbnail*
A buzzbee blaster with a decent grip? Walcom... You found a bleeping unicorn
When i first saw this blaster, it looked like a chain fed shotgun, and that would have been really cool. Sadly, its just a super clunky, poorly executed chain smart AR system...wasted opportunity
I finally figured out what Adventure Force very cramped sniper rifle I have had for five years because of the darts
Edit: with a little TH-cam searching it’s the Adventure Force Alpha Rouge
WS7
Great review even if the blaster could not get up for the video. Thanks for the quality reviews. Keep up the great work.
Time to toss a SpexBZ into it
Yes, toss a tank in worth more than the entire blaster... lol
nice shirt in the intro. Glad to know someone besides me and my friends still likes starbound.
Nice choice on the Mad Rat Dead ost in the background ;)
I was watching your video on the intervention kit for the retaliator from a while ago and the link does not work anymore so I was wondering if you could try to find a new link for it
Nope. I have no idea where you'd find it now.
Editing Walcom needs to make a regular appearance
Nerf puts out it's bad stuff, buzzbee says hold my beer.
Poor Walcom... almost happy.
At the very least, you might be able to salvage it by modding it and turning that belt fed system into a shell based one?
Ah man, at a glance in Walmart I thought this was a belt fed shotgun type blaster... I definitely expected wayyy too much for $25.
My first nerf blaster was a yellow Deploy CS-6. I was about 8 when I got it, so around 2008-2009. My second ever was a blue digital camo Jolt. I just got back into it because I like the nerf Ultra series.
The chain reminds me of the v-twin also I got the v-twin today!
Love it or hate it, this is the PERFECT shell to create a four shot chain shotgun, which is exactly what I’m going to do to it as soon as I get one
Ah yes. My favorite improv comedy show; Whose Adventure Force Is It Anyway?
I just saw an ad for nerd legends and it says it should come out some time at October of this year lets hope the blasters are better on there then in real life.
9:04 Is that an Impreza back there? Nice.
damn i wish we had more chain fed blasters like i love the vulcan its my main blaster that i use but getting the chains are a pain in the ass
Keep in mind not everything with Adventure Force on it is Dart Zone's doing, other toys at Walmart have the logo
if u could mod it to be powerful this would be a pretty good blaster but I'm not sure how well its gonna mod because I know thundershots have been broken while in the process of being modded.
Buzz bee is meeting its downfall...
Buzzbee*
@@thedartdomain4197 oh thx
The buzzbee side, at least.
@@YueLiangTan np!
I recently aquired one and I had one of 2 ideas to at least use the ammo chain, the shotgun like you thought about, and a possible revolver idea, however I did wonder if it could be fixed with a smart ar system however I don't know enough with nerf and the like to be able to do it
Yep. I bought it thinking "chain fed shotgun baby"
5:10 elite darts are bad, but they're at least consistent in their quality (or lack thereof)
"Buzzbee blasters are more tuned for kids"
The Sentinel Union might disagree on that one
"Potentially worse than elite darts" more like unequivocally worse than elite darts.
I'd still crack that thing open and put a new spring in it; then that would leave the problem of the chains disconnecting.
So with a big boi spring and no AR's this might be a cool shotgun? idk if that buzzbee plastic could handle a big enough spring though lol.
I feel like if nerf made something like this, basically a complete 1 to 1 reskin, it would make a sick modding platform. Especially with compatibility with buzzbee chains, the more robust shell would be great for performance upgrades. This platform could be a shotty powerhouse.
