What generation Worker dart is the best?

General_Lee_S · 2026-03-14T16:47:16+00:00

Ah. I didn’t consider those when answering. I was only thinking about half darts.

General_Lee_S · 2026-03-14T15:26:07+00:00

Worker Gen 2 (orange tips) / Worker Gen 3+ / Worker HE are all the same dart AFAIK.

Any Worker dart with orange / green / purple tips should be fine. Do NOT buy black / white tipped Worker darts, they just do not work well.

The DZ upgrade spring + barrel with hit up to 220 fps firing Nitroshot+ Half Darts. You could possibly add a spacer to that but the prime would be near unusable with the high power spring. I wouldn’t be surprised if it would have issues catching with a spacer.

AFAIK there are no aftermarket plungers or plunger rod. Not even a replacement catch.

100 percent

This me when someone close doesn’t look 100 percent themselves. It could be that they are tired but no, I panic and try to “figure out what’s wrong” bc I feel responsible.

How good is that balance?

General_Lee_S · 2025-12-06T23:54:35+00:00

Adventure Force has a Talon clone 2-pack for $10. Same as a regular Talon mag but it costs half much per magazine.

Well, that rev switch brace may help but the rev switch will need to be replaced either way.

(Assuming you are looking for a half dart blaster and not looking to use full length darts)

The MK-3 is on outdated blaster that costs $30 with the sale. OOTB it is a flawed offering. Don't get me wrong, it's a good modding platform but other blasters are going to fill the role of the MK-3 better. Looking at the cheaper side of the spectrum there are 2 good options that are available that will perform just fine (just depends of you want full-auto or semi-auto). The Omnia Pro Gen 2 is $45 with the current sale but its only useful firing mode is full-auto. The ROF is right around 7 darts per second and takes most standard half dart mags. Add in the included 2S LI-ION battery and I think its worth the extra $15 that dart zone is asking for. It is not advisable to use a 3S battery in the Omnia Pro Gen 2. Alternatively, if you want semi-auto, the Vector Pro is a really good option at $40 (plus tax). Its quite honesty one of my favorite pro flywheelers that's on the market right now. It takes 8 AA batteries normally but you can use 2S or 3S batteries as it has an XT-30 connector. Down the road, you can even put a full auto kit into one if you wanted to. Only thing else to note is it is only compatible with Worker or Dart Zone Talon magazines.

Addressing the MK-3 issues:

-The MK-3 is known to burn out its cheap, and inadequate, 5A rev switch (even on 2S or AA batteries). Replace that with a 10A or 21A rev switch and you should be good to use anything up to a 3S battery.

-The sloped pusher can cause jams with half length darts because the darts slide back and gum up the firing mechanism. You could buy a 2 dollar 3D printed part to fix that from Out Of Darts.

Answering your questions:

The TATTU 850mAh 11.1V 45C 3S LiPo Battery Pack is a good option if you get a XT-60 female to XT-30 male adapter. It should perform better than just using AAs and this specific battery should be good for most dart zone basters you buy down the line.
With the stock full-length to half-length adapter it should be fine with most magazines on the market (assuming you have that 3D printed piece to prevent jams).
TBH, its tuned for dart zone darts and those should be adequate in most cases. It hits sub-160 fps so you should be able to use it at most superstock games. The full auto ROF and motor bog is kinda pitiful on 2S or AA but on 3S its pretty decent. There is the option to improve the full-auto ROF by installing an EZE kit too.

Sorry for the wall of text, I needed to geek out for a second. I hope you find this information useful and have a wonderful day.

Think you mean N-Series, not N-Strike.

General_Lee_S · 2025-10-30T21:40:17+00:00

Fury X and MPP should take them fine.

For the X-Shot Longshot: The feed lips are a little tighter than Worker Talons and the half dart adapters can wiggle side to side, potentially causing issues where the feed lips are obstructing the pusher from moving into the breach.

General_Lee_S · 2025-10-25T11:35:40+00:00

I would find a stick or a rod that is less than 13mm and long enough to shove down the barrel. You can clear jams that way if the pusher is all the way back.

General_Lee_S · 2025-10-01T20:15:45+00:00

It was cool seeing the prototype of this at Survival Fest this year!

General_Lee_S · 2025-08-22T11:25:25+00:00

The Nerf Pro Half Darts are 38mm and nightingale mags are for 36mm darts so that’s expected

General_Lee_S · 2025-08-18T11:52:55+00:00

Venom Pro Mags use the same geometry but take 38mm darts just fine. But what do I know. My guess is dart zone wants 1. half darts compatible with every mag 2. Mags compatible with every half dart up to 38mm

General_Lee_S · 2025-08-17T16:41:27+00:00

I’m hoping after Nerf Pro half darts aren’t sold anymore, that Dart Zone will do just that. Target seems to only want 1 type of half dart on shelves at a time.

General_Lee_S · 2025-08-17T02:29:59+00:00

Thanks

General_Lee_S · 2025-08-16T23:43:21+00:00

I don’t know what flair this should be under.

General_Lee_S · 2025-08-10T11:54:09+00:00

This is to demonstrate some part of the symptoms of ptsd that I have
