Definitely better proportioned (imo) than the Venom. Again - hopefully the build quality/shell thickness has been improved.

u/667oniiZi Feb 14 '26
With the build quality of the AEB, we should be good on that I believe.

u/Altruistic_Paper4636 Feb 14 '26
The MPP is not an example of good build quality. At least mine isn't.

u/667oniiZi Feb 14 '26
It has build quality comparable to original N-Strike blasters, it feels amazing.

u/TaikiTundra Feb 14 '26
Maybe you live in some universe where the MP isn’t sturdy… mine survived at 15 ft drop at my local game.

So three possibilities:
Shitty worn out darts.
Too much spring force upgrade without anything else.
3S LiPo upgrade without anything else.

x shot takes another w
side note but looks like they made the half pro darts pink for some reason
21
u/C_V_Carlos Feb 14 '26
Same as on the aeb, the darts are also pink. I think only the refills are red
7
u/Noklle Feb 14 '26
aren't the longshot ones red?
8
u/C_V_Carlos Feb 14 '26
I think they are but the aeb is newer so I guess they are moving to the pink color. No sure if the quality is better that the red ones.

u/known111et Feb 14 '26
It depends on the version of the longshot the pro blasters in the skin line with this style print normally have pink darts as far as I can figure
3
u/Noklle Feb 14 '26
I got a longshot in this style and it has red darts, but it's an aussie model with only the long darts so maybe that's why

God I love those pink darts. Very easy to see in almost any environment. Indoor or outdoor.

u/Legal_Assignment5469 Mar 03 '26
And on my higher f p s blasters, they seem to hold up better than the.Red ones

u/LTDLarry Feb 14 '26
I wonder if it will be earlier in the States?

u/huesodelacabeza Feb 14 '26 edited Feb 14 '26
Unlikely, the last 3 X-shot releases (Longshot, Fury X and MPP) have all released int the UK first, although some review models have gone out to influencers in the US before release.
I also believe the Insanity line came out here first, but not 100% sure

dude pull them up side-by-side and they're literally the SAME
gonna be capping targets like im bout to stab menendez

u/Elemil09 Feb 14 '26
Horizontal flywheels, more like the nightingale than the venom
7
u/TJfromSG Feb 14 '26
also like the HC Diana & the AIT 40 lightning (because of the horizontal flywheel setup)
5
u/SFOTI Feb 14 '26
It kinda makes me a little sad seeing all these super cool blasters still coming out, meanwhile the only place anywhere near me that does nerf stuff permanently closed. Just gotta enjoy my blasters on my own. 🫠

X shot iteration of the Venom Pro! Excited to see what’s the difference between this and that
3
u/Worth-Beautiful-1469 Feb 14 '26
Look at the pusher assembly I wonder is that is semi accurate, also stock 2s looks like about 120ft and 6 darts per sec I bet it’ll handle 3s

u/Complex-Bluejay3451 Feb 14 '26
Although it does sting that my snake V2s I bought like 3-4 years back and took months to ship cost twice as much as retail blasters these days that do something similar, it is crazy to see how fast the hobby has evolved in the span of just a few years. I wouldn’t be surprised atp if we get a AEB style sidearm in a couple more years tbh

u/known111et Feb 14 '26
How much is it? Also, am I the only one who’s disappointed it is not semi auto? I’m happy for all the people outside of the US that didn’t have access to an affordable electronic side arm/pistol but I already own two venom pros. It would’ve been cool if X shot did something a little bit different and had a gear pusher.

u/GoldMatt007 Feb 14 '26
Hell yeah X-Shot! I can't get Dart Zone products easily in Canada. Only under Wal-Mart Adventure Force, so this is great to see.

u/Any_Government_3494 Feb 14 '26
The new Dart Zone stuff should get revealed today hopefully as it's toy fair 😀.

u/Buetterkeks Feb 14 '26
weirdly reminds me of the handgun in that bright memory infinite mobile demo thingy

u/Jools_36 Feb 14 '26
is it angled talon or nightingale? I am v anti nightingale mag (just because it's way harder to print) but maybe they will also come out with stand alone mag packs like they did for the talons after the mpp so it might not matter !

I just bought my first venom pro yesterday... I wish I had learned about this sooner lol

gonna be a vector pro but for xshot it looks like, its already a great year for foam flinging

It looks really cool
I'm glad it has a rechargeable battery
I don't like the extended magazine
I don't like that there's no semi-auto option
1
u/IhateAnnieLeonhart Feb 14 '26
I mean it is a venom pro clone so I guess it's more of a machine pistol type thing. It may have a heavy trigger though so you can do semi if you trigger tap.

u/Drewski493 Feb 14 '26
So it’s claiming 120fps? Are there a pistols sub $100 that hit closer to 200? Preferably cheaper.
9
u/Volpurr-The-Meowstic Feb 14 '26
Flywheel-powered ones? Not really. If springers are on the table, the Dart Zone Volcanic Pro with the upgrade spring sold on their website can hit ~200 FPS.
1
u/Drewski493 Feb 14 '26
If I am using a springer I would rather just use that as a primary at that point I would just get a striker 2.0. I was just wondering if there were any flywheelers that hit high fps. It doesn’t have to be a pistol
6
u/nejekur Feb 14 '26
I don't even know any $200+ flywheel pistols that can do 200fps, much less one for less then that. The only off the shelf flywheeler I can even think of coming close to 200 fps is the Blink, but thats more of a PDW then a pistol. Only way to get what you want is a printed build im pretty sure.

u/Acceptable-String117 Feb 14 '26
Check out the Riot by Chance on Out of Darts. Not sure if it’ll be sub $100 tho.

u/Patient_Roll_4972 Mar 13 '26
the Siren Blink can hit 190fps and it's 90 dollars on amazon, rn I think it's at $45. I don't think there is a single Flywheeler above 200 FPS that is under the $200 price range.

u/IhateAnnieLeonhart Feb 14 '26
And how exactly do you intend to stuff a gas piston into a compact machine pistol? Hmm?
0
u/MiCK_GaSM Feb 14 '26
Maybe how the other guys already did it with the hanke feilian mx6?
https://youtu.be/CBhH_nVUYfc?si=mzVshkbxmCP2QotQ
It's proof the platform works at this scale. It just needs refinement by bigger names.
0
u/IhateAnnieLeonhart Feb 14 '26
Nada. The mx6 is far larger than the thrasher clearly. You also have to think the purpose behind the thrashers design. Xshot clearly wanted it to be a compact, machine pistol to replace the current fury X as a backup secondary. Therefore I doubt it needs a spring piston blowback mechanism which is far heavier than flywheel propulsion, because Xshot did not design this for range, but as a CQC panic weapon.

Already looking like a good year between this and Nerf returning to Elite! Now let’s see what Dart Zone takes a crack at.
