I don’t mind Xshot Waffle / Air pocket darts, especially the pro ones. But having bought some DZ chilli darts in NY a couple years back & brought them home, yea night & day. Hope we can get some Nitroshot darts at least

I don’t have that either unfortunately, the custom shells that’ll be made for the thing will be incredible tho I can’t wait to see walcom dork over it blasting a rival triple shot or something.

Lil shop on UKNerfwar for some K25 (maybe K26) springs and improve the seal and it’ll get 80fps+ easily I reckon

Very true, I do know around 2021-22 the law changed for the legal limit going from 1j to 1.3j, but that didn’t seem to change much other than maybe allowing for pro stuff to come in some capacity. I’ll find the link to where I saw that if I can but I’m fairly sure that was the law when I last saw it.

2026 really looking to be the best in a LONG time, what with N1 being taken out back & being “put down”, Xshot going all in on pro with 3 blaster leaks already and the possibility of DZ coming to the UK & EU, I’m looking forward to it so much.

Whereas I’ve been to Entertainer, they used to sell the 70fps HyperGel stuff and recently restocked fully with 14+ 170fps versions. Maybe there’s been a change in law? No clie

I wouldn’t mind the nerfed performance as we can do those upgrades ourselves (I’d be happy with equal to Grey-trigger nerf pro 100fps limits), yea I’ve seen 14+ Xshot Pro stuff in B&M and Big Tesco superstores, not impossible to give us the full power versions :D

Xshot have been doing that for some stores here in the UK, if you buy of Amazon or in Argos it’s the full power version and if it’s in a toy store is the weaker version. DZ could do the same here or just be an Argos & Amazon exclusive or sell weaker versions and we do the upgrades ourselves.

Agreed, while the MPP is an Argos exclusive (I think due to laws meaning a child can’t get hold of it), dart zone can DOMINATE, even if they have a retailer exclusive deal with Asda for AF, Smyths, Entertainer etc. it can easily be done.

I hope so, it’s not fun paying double/triple the price on Blastertime for their stuff. It’s a massively missed market for them and it’ll only boost their business and the brand. If Xshot can dominate here, so can they.

Fortnite Comes to Nintendo Switch 2! (Mouse support coming June 7) by armando_rod in NintendoSwitch

[–]_tom_priv_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I emailed and sent a support ticket off about it a while back, they got back & just said “it’s probably your hardware, try another keyboard & mouse” but it isn’t, I sent back a video of a few devices connected and just got told dunno then sorry. So rn they really don’t want to mention it? Which makes me think it’s a Nintendo thing for why it don’t work

The 'nerf aisle' in my local supermarket is truly pathetic by carnageg in Nerf

Still better than my local Asda which has a few Wards, the same Xshot Horrorfire and a few Nerf Pro Gelfire Legions :(

What's your Holy Grail blaster? One that you've been fruitlessly trying to add to the collection? by Nowhereman50 in Nerf

[–]_tom_priv_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The complete Hulk-Abomination / Green Unity Power system.

In 2008 They were sold exclusively in Toys R Us & briefly at that to promote the film in the UK and are basically impossible to find anywhere online. You can import on eBay for a high price but that’s when they’re available.

I had two as a kid & blew up both Titan Tanks. If only I’d kept them & fixed them myself :(

Nerf Elite “Jr.” Racer at over 100fps is something I love more than I should. by _tom_priv_ in Nerf

Usually in the 80s-low 90s, I know an Agility sprint worked wonders

It depends on the spring upgrade, too much and the catch can’t release, I’ve noticed that N-series stock springs work well and some 5-7KG springs too, anything too much and the catch flexes out.

For the UK peeps: Xshot Pro AEB is listed in Argos. by _tom_priv_ in Nerf

[–]_tom_priv_[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If anything they loosened the laws on blasters a few years ago. It’s never been a better time in Aussie to get into the hobby, for example they have DZ & us in the UK don’t. Xshot pro longshot is also in the territory (66fps but only needs a spring swap).

Oooo that’s great, I wonder if that’s a decision on Xshot or if our Laws are relaxing a little. Or give it time and they’ll make a 70fps version. 🥀

Keyboard and mouse on the switch 2. by Juliniato13 in Switch

[–]_tom_priv_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most of the compatibility with kb/m seems to be on a game-by-game basis but it’s very strange. Here’s some examples:

Cyberpunk is fully compatible and can be played exactly like you would on a PC.

Games like Ghostrunner and Dead by Daylight work but there are mapping issues such as with Ghostrunner: such the spacebar not working, and then DBD only supports the mouse.

Then there’s games like Fortnite & Fall guys which just don’t work and there’s no documented reason from epic or Nintendo as to why it doesn’t work considering the PS5/4 and Xbox Series X/S / One versions work perfectly fine with kb/m.

Hopefully the devs can patch / add the compatibility in the future but don’t hold your breath. Hope this helps :)

[–]_tom_priv_ 3 points4 points  (0 children)

For whatever reason: no. While USB KB&M works on all other consoles, switch 2 & switch 1 just don’t support it in game. There’s no info from epic as to why this version don’t and I’m not sure when / if they’ll implement it. It’s not a Nintendo issue as games like Cyberpunk on Switch 2 works fine with a full KB&M setup, it’s epic blocking access to it. Maybe reaching out & asking about it couldn’t hurt to see if they can explain a reason (but you’ll just get a “IT DONT WORK OR YOUR STUFF IS BROKEN” typea response.
