The Greatest Dart Ever Made : A Documentary
In 2018 @buzzbeetoys8995 introduced a dart featuring a unique design that in the end offered the most precise and consistent characteristics especially when compared to the typical imprecise nature of most foam darts launched from blasters.
Nerf's so called "Elite" dart was the unexpected catalyst for this, by simply being so bad that one specific machinist and inventor got sick and tired of not being able to hit what he aimed at when participating in friendly family dart battles. The 70 some year old Dale Isenmann decided to come up with something better, and after being turned down by Hasbro, went to the far more open minded folks at Buzz Bee, and then the rest is now history...

The @buzzbeetoys8995 made Air Warriors Spin Blast is a micro version of the previous Spin Fire that I personally love. While not a dart blaster, they're a ton of fun and I could honestly see them being one of those inexpensive but classic toys. #buzzbeetoys #buzzbee #airwarriors

To cut to the chase, I love the thing despite a couple of possible issues (mainly the darts and cost). It looks the part, comes with both a stick mag and drum, flings shells and darts and just ends up being silly fun. I enjoyed every minute of using it, so yeah it gets my endorsement. Get y...

Buzz Bee Water Warriors Waterlord Review
Hi dude you probably won’t see this but do you know if they ship these to the uk? I checked the website it says US stock does that mean it only ships to us? Need some help 😔🙏
I'd check and see with them directly. US stock for them just means that they have some in their US based warehouses, which helps ship faster to some places than coming all the way from China.
I bought a two pack of Buzz Bee Panthers brand new and one shoots really well but the second one kind of lobs the darts. I was wondering why the second one lobbed the darts and if it could be fixed.
Could be a few things, one having a looser barrel or a worse o-ring, or even one plunger tube not being lubricated properly. The Panthers are glued together and are honestly a pain to take apart (I've done it, and even have a video showing the completed mod). Not much to do without a lot of work though.
Thank you for sharing this story!
Thanks for watching!
This is such a cool piece of history in this hobby. Nice scoop!
Thanks, I was happy to finally get to do this.
Can someone link me the coop review on these? I can't find it
Without knowing any of the numbers, I wonder if it makes financial sense for Dale to buy out his contract and try to sell the darts himself. I think nowadays it'd be even more difficult to price them competitively especially if they're not on a major e-commerce site like amazon or walmart. Though to be fair, that's better than their current unavailability globally. And I'm sure it would personally mean a lot to simply be able to do that rather than have your product "owned" by someone else. Interesting stuff.
Buzz Bee has supposedly tossed the idea around of bringing them back, and especially now that Buzz Bee is doing a "store" on Amazon it'd make some sense. Just had another conversation with him, and he likes the idea of having a website setup to sell these if possible along with a number of other items he's created (including about 10 other dart types).
Super fun story
Thanks for dropping by Ryan!
Isn’t the dz waffle head the best?
Nope, in head to head testing I've had higher accuracy at both 50 foot and 75 foot ranges with the Precise Pro's vs the DZ/AF Waffletips. Have videos on them from previous testing here on the channel!
I remember picking up one of the first Thermal Hunters in the UK, and being less impressed with the blaster and its clever sight than the darts that came with it. I've got a hundred or so still, though their relevance in 2024 is somewhat limited. They don't work well in flywheels - not just the shape but they get chewed up badly in anything high powered. They were great in springers, but full length springers aren't a thing these day. I've tried cutting them to half length but Gen3's work better.
You're right about Precise Pro's and flywheelers not mixing, but here in my area it's still full length springers being by far the most used blaster type. So, while lots in the hobby have moved to short darts, full lengths still have a place in many many areas.
Good vid.
Thanks!
Awesome man, awesome. Great video. Hes a great guy. Loved his story.
Hunter lacks power. Far as shot goes.. all of them can use the same shot. It needs a divider in the hopper allowing kosher for one barrel and red lentals for the other. for compactness i will keep a slayer in my car, double barrel too clumsy. I do have a Beelzebub shooter in every room for I don't like winged maggots anymore than I like Mouse guts. A long barrel allows you to shoot something on the ceiling which is great for the wife, but Google the fly and you'll find he has excellent vision and he will see trigger movement and Dee Dee Mao. The only thing you'll have to show for it is salt on the floor and that ain't worth it. . ..
I have 5x of these darts. They’re not great. I’m confused. He’s still trying to make them today or something? Buy any new long dart from worker, AF, DZ, Xshot, or even buzzbee and you’ll be more impressed by their accuracy.
I've done extensive testing with these, with 1000's of shots and the Precise Pro's have always outperformed everything else. Feel free to see my previous videos with them. I've got about 2000 of them and have been the biggest proponent of them since 2018. They test better than any of the Workers (my #2 full length dart pick), better than the DZ waffles (#4) and far better than the new X Shot darts. Buzz Bee's own new Accublast darts are fairly good, but at least 10-15% less accurate with large sample size testing of at least 500 or more shots from a table rested testing position.
@@MongooseJakeNerf hmmmm… we’ll I’ll take your word for it. I only have a a few random and they seem fine. I find the AF Pro to be the most accurate long dart. The new Xshot ones are even better than AF waffle tips. The new Buzzbee dart look good. These need better heads. Either with pockets or smaller denser like worker.
Fantastic video, if you do another video like this, you should do the ultra tek sticky dart it's a really under rated dart imo and deserves alot more love
I should do a newer video on those, it's been years since I featured them in anything (last was a dart comparison from probably 5 years ago).
Dude, you weren't dry firing, you really did have something in store for the Precise Pro lovers out here! Awesome.
Yep, no bait here! Glad you liked it!
I never used them so I can't say one way or the other and I almost never useful life darts anymore anyway haha you know but yeah I trust your wisdom man
If you ever do use full lengths, gotta give these a try.
@@MongooseJakeNerf oh I certainly will if I can find a place that sells them like that
@@milosmods You could cut these down to half lengths, idk how well it would work but it's a thought
@@brickosaurus2276 yeah I certainly could but as I said to mongoose good luck trying to find them I have yet to find those darts to be honest with you anywhere
Thank you for this! We rarely get to hear about stories from actual patent creators in the hobby. And Dale is amazing. I hope to be that with it when I'm that age 😄
I'm planning to do more videos like this when the opportunity permits as I personally find it to be more interesting vs yet another typical review. And yes, Dale was great, especially for a 77 year old! Had a great time talking with him as he ended up spending most of the day hanging out (from 9am to after 3:30 pm). Got to see more of his work, and he's at least sold me a prototype bike!
@@MongooseJakeNerf wow!!
Amazing video! These have always been my favorite full length darts, and its great to hear its history. We seriously need more of these darts, I really wish i could still be able to buy them brand new
I'd love to see Buzz Bee do another production run of these for a few years. I still use full-length darts primarily and these are still the best in my opinion.
Well, today i learnt something.
Thanks for watching during the early release! I've gotta do that more often for you Patreons
I'm not dry firing here, you really are my favorite blaster content creator! I appreciate you shining light on the products you do. They deserve the love. Also your pacing is delightful. Thank you!
Thanks, means a lot.
Every video makes me happy I pulled the trigger on a pack of Precise Pro darts I found on eBay awhile back. So cool and they certainly aren't making any more of them!
If you're a fan of the Precise Pro's, I've got something special and quite bit coming on the channel that's related...
Does removing it make it stronger? And does it wreck the gun
Bro where are you i just saw the new ADVENTURE FORCE BUZZ BEE with the clear drum and i was wondering if it was full auto
Been taking a much needed personal break, but will be back to videos very soon, got lots of new stuff coming!
As cool as the Bug Hunter is it uses too much salt. If it has higher PSI than the Bug Hunter sign me up for that. I'm going to make my Hornets unhappy it's payback time
I'm still using mine and loving the thing, it's like a pistol shotgun for flies, gnats, and mosquitoes. Splatters all of those easily even from a few feet away.
I just broke mine I need help anyone now how to fix it the cocking mechanism is broke
Just found one of these for dirt cheap after missing an opportunity to get one new. I cant wait to see what a spring upgrade will do.
Can it still shoot full length dart?
Only if you single load them, once you do this it'll only feed half lengths from mags.
Are they making more of this pistol's? I wanna one and I don't know if Should I search in Ebay or something
My Bad if I have an error, I'm not native from English language
Ebay is the best bet, unless you live near a Cracker Barrel restaurant where oddly these are still sold. Anywhere outside of the United States, ebay is the best, just be careful of people that'll try and charge a fortune, as these are only $10 new.
@@MongooseJakeNerf thank you, man
This was my fav gun I bet u know why it’s cuz the handle to load the gun is my fav part but the trigger not working😪😭😭😭😭😭😭🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹
Got a question for ya Jake, do you think BuzzBee would ever do a Pro line??
I've talked to them specifically about that, and the response was "we'd consider it in the future". So... Maybe.
Well they're doing a full length dart skewer!!! That'll be interesting
Also another side note u can convert this to airsoft with a nerf dart body (stiff fit) like amosting the bb should go in about 0.5-1.0 inches in, i get about 150-180fps with it
Small thing to note, theyre not actually 13yo pistols and in my case theyd be “17” because of video age, they actually have a label on the back of the box showing date shipped from factory, mine saying 2/26/24 they still make these and it was relicensed in 2018 the copyright/patent is still 2007 and always will be 2007, one performace upgrade i found is by completely removing the post and using half darts instead, no need just seat till snug
The design being that old is what I was referencing by the age. Buzz Bee has changed a lot in the time since designing this pistol, and honestly I'd love to see a updated version with new internals. This mod will fire half darts quite well! The brass gives a great air seal to maximize the available power.
What's the point of doing angled range tests?! Do you use your blaster in a battle like a freaking mortar?! Why so many people do angled range tests? It useless it PISSES ME OFF!
Relax, that's literally to either confirm or invalidate the claimed ranges on the blaster packaging. Of course it's not realistic to in-game use, but it's part of the job comparing blasters vs each other, or the claims made by the companies trying to get us to purchase them.
@@MongooseJakeNerf Ok, that makes sense
This blaster and the adventure force alpha rogue are on sale at walmart for $5.00 CAD each! What a bargain!
Thankfully it can the default stock is atrocious
V-twin victim?
i used 4 pencils in the stock as a stock block at full extension. cut em down and just jammed em in with the erasers to the rear. the tube is right about 1 inch in diameter, i'm thinking of finding some 1 inch ID pvc and shaping it to fit. something about putting this stock on the mk 1.2 just has me giggling.
Thanks for this awesome mod video! Is it compatible with Gecko or Nightingale magazine?
Thank you for the video
Thanks for watching!
How to make a sibling cry
I love you
Just got this beauty today, wondering if there are other alternatives to the brass shell and old shell method, are there? Also great review!
There's a number of 3d printed options out there, even reviewed a good one by DanBeaverCraft who sells his shells on Etsy. Video is on my channel, worth checking out, and the link for them is in that video's description.
I wonder can you take it apart and tighten the spring
I would assume so, either add a spring spacer or replacement spring. Haven't modded either of mine yet, but still use them as recently as yesterday. Absolutely obliterated a horse fly!
They still are about22 dollars.
I own that one
Sucks that the custom breach is 3x the price if the blaster
I see it as a permanent purchase though, it's literally indestructible under normal usage with how thick the material is. If something happened to the blaster you can just reuse the breech again. So, yeah it's pricey at $60 but well worth it in my opinion. I've bought 4 of them now, lol!
Nice review dude. Yes the alpha auto 72 is a very good lookin gun. Gona pick my self one.
Have you tried the New Buzz Bee toy Bug Hunter with Extra Force? It's a different color then the gray one we normally see.
I haven't tried the new model yet, love my current one though!
Oof, that Alpha Auto's Rate of Fire is..... cute 😅
Just bought one for my nephews at Walmart 🙏
Good buy, they'll have fun!
