God this is amazing. Seems like the only thing left for the hobby is a big brand name electronic springer blaster. If that happens, I hope it has a manual prime option like the Vulcan
This dropped at my Target yesterday and I picked one up, I may grab a second one just to have a spare. I agree with you in regards to the hollowed out pump grip, hopefully someone will come up with a way to reinforce or replace it. Now I want X-Shot to make a mid-range bull pup flywheel blaster.
@@Xine1336.9 Did you even watch the video? There's a whole section that makes it clear we're not talking about the external grip itself, that's fine. It's the internal part, the pic rail and pump-action piece which actually primes it inside. It's not a solid piece, it's like T-bar bits all the way through it as far as I can see. It's probably okay at stock performance, although over time it could wear out, and will wear out earlier than if it were solid. In the coming weeks or months, we may see owners demonstrating where it'll wear out first. There's probably gonna be a particular area that gives up quickest. The pic rail area itself is probs the top candidate, there's direct force from the user there.
Good video. One interesting thing I've noticed is that people are getting a variety of FPS readings for this blaster. I'm getting 150 fps on worker gen 3 with the sacr and 160 without. Haven't tried the packaged darts yet, but hopefully those will hit the UK shelves soon. And...IT'S SO NICE to get a new blaster before the rest of the world. About time. If you can get one of these, get it. You won't regret it.
It isn't fair. Just as I was starting to move away from the hobby (kid growing up and having different interests, me not having extra money to spend for fun) and after complaining for so much time about hobby grade blasters not coming to Europe, this pops up in a fricking toy store in Greece. Yeah, I am buying this even if it is the last blaster I ever get.
Ok At 1:21 with the mag compatability, thank you for letting all of us know and this is nice for me cause I don’t have any talon mags and only a few dart zone mags.
I'm Shure some have found the de prime button on the top of the blaster by now. It's the orange button in the middle of the rail. You prime the blasted it pops up a little. Just press it in and you can de prime the blaster or get to a dart inside to extract.
@@ValTek_Armory fingernail, needs to go quite deep to release, left side above mag opens for jams. Cut down XShot Xcel, not quite full length old style, jam. Half length darts not yet easy to get in UK
How is something this cool available for such a reasonable price? AND it's a bullpup?! This thing has incredible form and function, I'm gonna have to pick one of these up.
I wonder if it'll hit toystores in the Netherlands, we don't even get rival. Highest fps in stores is the xshot chaos line, which is also the only rival-esque line. Good thing blaster-time is going to sell them too, just in case
Definitely picking one up as soon as it hits state side! I'm super interested in how the internals work and what kind of mod potential it has. Great video!
Both will receive attention imo. They're at very different sections of the market though, price-wise. A lot of people who wouldn't consider the Unicorn, will buy this due to the price. And I bet the kinds of parts designed may differ.
Outstanding blaster, my son (autistic) collects all manner of dart guns, I will be getting two of these, one for him and one for me to mod it, excellent review mate, thanks 💯🙂 Edit, subbed due to an impressive review 😉
Opinions/experience with the weird stock mags? Out of the box, that's this blaster's worst problem imo. Easy enough fix, just use Talons (or others you have that fit), but that's extra cost for people without any, for reliability issues there's no reason for it to have.
@@ValTek_Armory What are darts like inside them though? Every other one I've seen people with, the darts don't stack straight because there's too much room inside the mag. They zig-zag, which is a recipe for not feeding properly.

This is a pretty cool budget-pro option. It will be interesting to see what else they come out with.
Happy we can get more companies pumping out the good stuff
Had five of them in play at a UK game on the weekend, and they are absolutely incredible. Shooting lasers all day.

you can always try the old school epoxy fill method for reinforcing the parts. just be sure to wash and rough up the surfaces for best adhesion
Isn't the pump grip sitting on a picatinny?
@@Xine1336.9 Yes, but as Valor states in the video it is very minimalistic construct and may be prone to breaking.

De prime button orange bit on top rail. Left side flips out as jam door. 3 screws to change spring...
good catch! I figured the button on top was a deprime, but I couldn't get it to work

Does that rifled muzzle fit and shoot mega xl?
Can confirm yes. I’m the one who told him where to find it, just tested this and it’s good to launch!
Great video and Awesome blaster, looking forward to getting my hands on one and testing it out.
How is something this cool available for such a reasonable price? AND it's a bullpup?! This thing has incredible form and function, I'm gonna have to pick one of these up.
Fantastic vid and your vibes are immaculate, instant sub! I will be looking for this at my local target 👀
Thanks for the sub! I really try to be good on video
is this finally in the US now?????
Yes yes YES! Thank you X-Shot! We need these worldwide now!
Bro ham I would like to see a spring upgrade for it. And maybe a longer barrel I'm on the fence on getting one but I want to see the mod potential
Amazon link?
Did anyone happen to get the pcode off the label when they bought theres?

At least the hobby related stores have your back
None that I've heard
Are you in america? Where did you get yours? I haven't been able to find one anywhere.
I'm in the US. Picked it up at target
@@ValTek_Armory target link?
@@ValTek_Armory didn't see it on the site. I'll have to pop in sometime then. Thanks!
I'm definitely interested. I'm really hoping we get them in stores in Australia as it would be our very first pro blaster we can pick up in store.
If not, then I can assist in a group buy to ship over
@@ValTek_Armory that would be cool
How's the build quality and prime?
Pinky prime. Plastic feels a bit less solid than DZ stuff, but that's how Xshot rolls
@@ValTek_Armory Thanks! For $30 that seems reasonable.
Does this take Kodas? And does the rifled muzzle fit mega XL?
Since kodas are just talons, I would assume so
I hope so, I know the Kodas can be a bit finicky in some blasters.
Tested a Tachi and it worked fine
Awesome thank you!
I want one ...for sure BRO !!! Can't wait till they start popp'n up in stores ( probably Target ) right? Thanks for the video 🤠💥🔫
That one made me love "NERFs" again! I modified mine and I'm looking forward to the FURY-X!
I'm looking forward to the Fury as well!
Ooooh Momma !!! Just look at it !!! 👍👍👍🤠
Saw the b-verient calaburn u video, could you do something like that for a mandalorian load out?
I hope xshot is the one to copy the 3rd party companies making AEB's, like qwk with their edge and challenger blasters.
All the ones I've seen in the UK seem to have a pretty poor seal out of the box, wonder if we got different orings.
Might also be atmospheric differences
Wonder if it is a deliberate measure to lower FPS though.
Absolutely snagging one! The mod potential is huge, I think.
Kids got it for me for Father's day 😂 it's awesome
I can’t wait for this to drop
Dude....your shirt is eating you !!! HOW AWESOME IS THAT
It knows I'm a snack 😜
What a good day to be a kid.
This blaster is amazing! It might actually be the first bullpup I'm willing to purchase.
I'm a sucker for bullpup form factors
Does it have a prime slop?
Not really
Any one in Florida find one yet? Going to be searching soon for one.
Target link?
no link available. Had to go to the store because this blaster is supposed to come out in August
Wonder if they will come to Australia, we dont even have rival here.
Definitely picking one up as soon as it hits state side! I'm super interested in how the internals work and what kind of mod potential it has. Great video!
Apparently, someone in the Uk has already tried K26 in it and reached 180 fps.
@@FelixstoweFoamForge not surprised on the k26 thing lol
I can’t wait to get three of them and paint two of them in my colors
Hope it’s more durable than it looks
I'm going to get mine when the 100 dart refill pack gets released
I'm definitely going to need a larger pack of darts to test with. More options are always good
Interesting yours has a good air seal. Another review I saw had a very poor seal.
Still, for the price. Its awsome.
Perhaps they ended up with a cracked tube? That's happened a few times
@@ValTek_Armory I guess we will just have to wait and see how others are once more people have them.
I like the blaster, but I hope it doesn't distract 3d modelers from creating custom parts for the km9.

@@ValTek_Armory can't wait!!
Where can i buy it at?
As far as we know, it is a Target exclusive.
Me thinks I need to make a mod video with all the stuff I've found out...makes me wanna get a second one to keep stock lol.
X-SHOT LONGSHOT LESSSSGOOOOOOO
this can replace my broken lynx

The stock short mag is katana geometry like the DZ mags

I noticed they tend to do that. I mostly use my talons anyway.
Hmm i think your plunger may be cracked
I've replaced mine with a metal tube from silverfox now
I definitely want that
fuckin hell i want one...
now hasbro, *your turn to pro*
😂
I have a mighty neeeeeed
Based on this video, I think he is probably gonna be the best nerf youtuber since Coop772 👍
I appreciate the thought. Nobody can replace that legend
I love you videos
i'll take two out of spite
Spite for what though?
@@ValTek_Armory nerf in particular
Fine I'm here
You’re not officially pro until you go full half dart. That full to half adapter needs to die.
But why?

You know it!
