New Nexus Pro X and Aeon Pro X

Nerf · 10 months ago

Edit: we have links for both at Walmart now. That was fast! Both are currently showing as out of stock, but hopefully that’ll change soon.

Commentary from Walcom:

Looks like we have some refreshes of some of the best blasters Dart Zone has made… and it looks like they’re listening. Posted by Blaster_Time and floating all over the interwebs this morning, these two have some very important looking changes. Obviously all subject to change, but the Nexus Pro X is short-dart only (thank you Dart Zone!) and looks to include a BCAR on top of a stock and optic (as well as a rail attachment that holds a PCAR?), giving it this little PCC vibe and I love it. The Aeon Pro X looks to include a PCAR, and has a redesigned priming grip and extra rails and just like the Nexus Pro is only chambered for Short Darts. These are definitely some upgrades from the externals, we can only hope they feel solid and perform up to the standards that DZ set themselves.

How exhilarating, get excited.

Also, those look like AR15 grips. If they are that’ll mean that these blasters are compatible with the wide variety of aftermarket and printable grips for that platform.

The barrels are low. That’s . . . odd. I can’t say what that means, but I’m curious to see what these blasters look like inside.

I think Walcom is right: this is exciting news - and DZ is listening, which is in itself also good news.

Yes, it appears so. Of course, the final product could end up being different, but these are very promising promotional previews.

Create a post

You are not logged in. However you can subscribe from another Fediverse account, for example Lemmy or Mastodon. To do this, paste the following into the search field of your instance: !nerf@discuss.online

Welcome, Nerfers! This is a place for Nerf, Modifications, Homemades, Assassins, Office wars, Humans vs. Zombies, BoomCo, Off-brands, Water Blasters . . .

We’re intended to be like /r/nerf except not dependent on reddit.

Are you new to Lemmy? Please click here to expand.

Lemmy is a lot like reddit. For most purposes you can treat it as if it is reddit.

The main difference is that when you view your front page or search for other communities, you have a choice between “subscribed” (what you’ve already joined), “local” (a small subset of communities) and “all” (every community that this server knows about).

discuss.online is one of many Lemmy servers and many of the communities that you see here originate on other servers - but this networking is handled behind the scenes. This decentralization makes Lemmy resilient but you can still use it just like reddit.

A longer explanation can be found here.

Rules

We have some idiosyncratic rules. Please click to expand and take a minute to read them before posting.

Don’t spam (post excessively) or excessively self-promote. That means at most 1 post per day, and less than 1/10ths of your posts and comments each may be self-promotion.
No low effort content.
Only post thrift finds on Thursday - where “Thursday” starts at 1AM GMT-07 and runs for 24 hours. This corresponds to daylight Thursday for most of our readers.
Don’t recommend or show dangerous practices, such as these. There is to be absolutely no deliberate weaponization, even as a joke or against nonhuman targets.
Pirated/knockoff versions of hobby-made designs should not be shared; don’t give pirates free advertising.
Respect community standards (below) and stay on-topic (further below).

Community standards

We maintain a higher standard of civility here than an average forum. Please be nice, and be forgiving: the other guy might be literally a kid.

We have moderate post quality standards here; nerfchatter is very lax. If you’d like to ask a question, please try googling it first.

It’s “blaster/dart,” not “gun/bullet” - because the latter can lead to things that we’d rather avoid. This is a common mistake, but it is a mistake. Similarly, it’s good to be clear that realistic blasters shouldn’t be used in public spaces for the benefit of our young readers.

What we aren’t

3d printing questions not specific to nerf should go on 3d printing communities.
You can buy/sell/trade/“what’s it worth?” on /r/nerfexchange (though we may make an exchange Lemmy community later).
No scripted battle footage. We have to ban this so that we don’t get flooded with it. This is very easy to find on YouTube if you for some reason want to see it.
No memes/jokes; there may be rare exceptions for discussions of ongoing events. Again, we have to ban this to not be flooded by it. Memes/jokes are very welcome at Nerfchatter.
