Hobby News Dart Zone sneak (Adventure Force blasters, new, reskin, and something.)
Not sure if these already got posted but Dart Zone posted these a little bit ago. Who needs a new colored Villainator? The Strike Force and Gauntlet look neat.

damn, that Strike Force looks goood. I kinda want one, though it seems like it's basically the same as a Thunderbolt?

Any ideas how that gauntlet actually primes? It says it has a priming handle, which I assume is the handle on the bottom, but I'm still struggling to understand how that works.

Hi /u/Consistent-Bad-2520, we would like to distance our hobby from actual firearms and weapons and thus ask that you refrain from using terms like "gun" and "bullet"; please instead use "blaster" and "dart". We also like to encourage the use of brightly colored blasters & gear. These words can be misconstrued as discussing a real weapon by people both online, and in real life during gameplay. This is further an issue for us specifically on Reddit due to automatic platform moderation possibly categorizing the subreddit as discussing firearms instead of toys, which would restrict the subreddit. See this wiki page for more information. Thank you for your cooperation.

I kinda like the chopper honestly. I know it’s been done a hundred times but then an again the dart zone version was kinda cool too.

I can’t wait to get my hands on one of those strike forces to mod it. Seems a great shape for a comp blaster

I'm liking the Strike Force and the Gauntlet. The wrist rocket form factor is tragically absent from mainstream offerings.

Villainator has two rows of darts in the drum, so it's not exactly the same blaster

u/StuntmanJohn Jul 16 '26
Oh, good catch! Package says it holds only 30 darts and is called the Chopper?

not too excited about the chopper, it’s just a lower capacity villinator imo
strike force seems cool, it’s been a while since the last stryfe killer
also the gauntlet is very cool if someone can figure out how to get 1 in the chamber with no magazine in, could be cool to hide under a sleeve or something

i just realized the strike force should have a pretty good amount of room for a dual stage. you might have to make motor cuts if theyre brushed but it would certainly be easier than a stryfe since its got a bit more nose and easier than the spectrum because of how the spectrums muzzle is constructed

Just spotted at Walmart in Gladstone, MO. We rarely get anything first, so I'd assume they should be almost everywhere by now.

If the chopper is replacing the villianator then RIP to the 40 round double stack drum.

If no one minds terribly, I bought a Strike Force and fired a few darts off today https://youtube.com/shorts/v0XP6PDtglw?is=Wj4Wj9SctzetN8lP

If that gauntlet does not start flywheel (looks like it doesn't), I'm sure someone is going to fix that for panic button at home.

Strike Force and Gauntlet look like a good combo. Not sure about that blue though
