#dracnerf #nerf #2022
Literally saw an older lady today in a local Midwest chain store loading a few fort nite blasters into her cart and she was eye balling the #1 on this list for her older two grandchildren. She saw me looking at some of the blasters on the wall and asked my opinion. After a brief chat she found some different blasters that were cheaper but far better than what she was looking at. Thank you and other content creators for educating the masses.
Youre my hero
I saw a couple of teenagers in a Walmart looking at some Nerf blasters for a Nerf war and steered them toward the Aeon Pro instead. 30 bucks for something that can take out an eye from 30 feet away, great value.
@@nBasedAce You are my asshole
Always feels good doing stuff like that. Saw a kid at GW grab a Sharpfire I'd passed on, so I mentioned to the kid's dad that I'd seen the barrel floating around, and helped them find it.
I’ve done this SO MANY TIMES! In fact, in high school my mom would take me with her shopping and I’d just hang out on the toy aisle and give recommendations to people purchasing blasters and darts.
Drac releases a "Top 5 Fridays" video in 2022:
Me: "Now that's a video title I have not heard in a long time. A long time"
Nowadays he does a Top 5 Best Of The Year and a Top 5 Worst Of The Year every December!
@@Thesnakerox That he does. Which is why I reacted to this title
I’m Surprised the Buzz-Bee Pixelator isn’t on this list. Uncomfortable grip, uncomfortable trigger, uncomfortable prime, the blaster LITERALLY cuts your hand if you use it for extended amounts of time. Easily around a number #3 for worst of 2022.
I've watched drac on and off for a long time but i feel like his presentation style recently had gotten a lot better. He feels way more relaxed and playful despite still being very honest and to the point. I like it :)
I feel like pre-orders in general, especially from Hasbro and the Nerf Limited line in particular, are often a designer scam. Love the game face shirt BTW!
As a gamer, seeing the foam space embracing pre-order culture definitely makes my skin crawl. Like, how many hobbies need to learn that giving companies money for a promise is a bad idea?
The Needler is beautiful and has so many great features. The only LMTD blaster worth the price so far.
@@m00k61 it was $69 on Amazon BEFORE the $120 pre orders were shipping. That is completely unacceptable I’m sorry.
@@foamtastic yeah I heard about that. I'm just saying it's a blaster worth a premium price.
Well well well look who it is
Gonna have to disagree on the Roblox rocket launcher. It would be better if it stored air and retailed for less than $30+ but it's powerful and fun to use. Might actually be my favorite HAMP-style blaster they've ever released.
That’s what I thought
Plus the contraption Flux and Lucha made is really neat.
i think by sheer virtue of who is making this statement that the roblox blaster needs to be on this list. your claim to fame is being able to take bad blasters and run them at wars. if a blaster is too good, it doesnt give the appropriate challenge. if you like it, it means youve done well with it and that means that its bad.
@@jimmusthegrimmace wut.
@@beretnarf point being, youre famous for making bad blasters do really really well in wars. when you say something bad is actually good, its for that reason i think that you say that. the blaster is bad but youre the exception to the rule and can really make it work.
I wish Nerf would say “I won’t bore you with this any further” about Hyper in general haha. The evolve is incredibly weird looking. I liked the shells from the original flight anyway.
Amban blaster is one of the few blasters I have ever returned. Awful.
Ha, have been writing as listening, so amused to hear that actually returning something is a notable thing.
I don’t have a Speed here in Canada, but I will probably get one eventually, totally an Ultra sucker over here (which says something about how little I touch anything Hyper). The mag thing is unreal though.
Pretty on board with this list, enjoyed it. :)
Hasbro's marketing division should get a trophy for ruling this top 5! They would be really proud of their achievement and maybe get a big bonus!
I still might get an Amban Phase Blaster rifle if the price drops. I intend to saw the barrel off so I have this tiny Martini Henry pistol
"All 4 people who like ultra" smh there are at least 5 of us by my count, get it right 😤
Make it six people because I like ultra even though I used it once. Specifically the ultra two I didn’t keep it because I was testing it to see if it still works so my dad can have it sold at the store he works at. Other than that I’m just optimistic person when it comes to nerf blasters.
Lookatchu up in here, thanks for watching
Lol there are tens of us!
@@LordDraconical you’re welcome 😉
The ultra speed aint that bad the magazine stuff is bad but other than that its fun to use its just more fun to play around with than play in a nerf war any nerf blaster that dumps its mag in a second is clearly not war practical (unless its small then its good for a backup) but its still fun to shoot a bunch of darts out really fast its def overpriced and flawed but its not the absolute worst thing this year
Drac will you be making a top 5 best blasters of 2022 list video?
I have a shark-bite and I kept it because I actually made money on it. There was a brief window where two deals overlapped. Got it for 27 cents (after tax even) then sold the skin code for a game I don’t play for 6.50 via ebay.
Lol, I just memed beret by telling him that the entire holiday season is a jolt reskin!
I feel that the hyper line was a disaster except for the rush 40. My brothers and I call it "the sin pistol" because it is a sin to use something that shoots so hard. Ultra also was a bit of a failure due to inaccuracies and slow bullets. I love nerf youtubers because they can tell you what the hidden gem of each line of nerf guns is.
Really telling how almost all of the of the bottom five blasters and honorable mentions were from Hasbro
IMO this list is perfect except... #1. The magazine incompatibility is pretty inexcusable, BUT the Speed went on one of my gift guide lists because it's the only in-store off the shelf blaster with a high firing rate and it stands out for that reason. It's definitely near the bottom of the list of the year's blasters but simply for that one completely unique, stand-out feature I can't see it being the absolute worst.
Anyway, cheers to a new, hopefully Hyper-free, new year!
Hey..."Don't you talk about my Ultra !!!" 😂😂😂👍.....p.s. (I'm no.3 btw) could you loan me 50 cents ...I need more ammo !
I would argue the Alpha Auto and the Blitz 6 are both really good. Buzzbee had a renaissance with those 2 IMO.
the AA is definitely a step in the right direction, one of their better offerings in a long while.
Three of the last four years Ultra tops the list. The one Ultra didn't, it was Hyper that did
Hasbro has fallen far from the good ol' days, that's for sure. Hit after hit, year after year are well and truly gone, maybe even if they do a massive course correction
Even more interesting that 2019, the year Ultra arrived, was also the year they released their best product in their most acclaimed line (Rival Perses), and the year that Dart Zone finally surpassed them with the DZP Mk1
They still keep sinking money into the worst Nerf line in existence, while Dart Zone is pleasing the fans with their pro stuff.
When I got my first ultra blaster (the ultra 2) I shot a the thing and the round broke. It only came with 6 rounds.
You shot a thing? I've never had an Ultra round "break" and I shoot them out of my Proud Papa and Mighty Mama.
I like Hyper. It’s bizarre and inconsistent. It’s not Nerf. But I like the visual design and form factor of the blasters, and really enjoy watching the dumb rubber balls careening around the house as my equally dumb cats crash into the walls chasing em. They’re useless, but fun! Basically perfect for this period in history.
Rival forever, though.
One blaster I was very surprised not to see here was the Fuel 20
The uncomfortable rush-40 sized pistol with terrible prime and ungodly jamming issues that surpass even the siege 50
It's so bad he probably didn't even buy it
Have you seen the Impulse? It's probably better than the Rush. Just wish it would come to the states.
@@m00k61 I have, once, and it was on amazon
@@randomuser-mv7bb I don’t blame him
Gel blasters kind of confuse me in general. It just seems like worse airsoft so...why? Why not just go full nerf or full airsoft I don't get it.
Really disagree with the nerf ultra speed. The electrical sag sucks but over all it's a really fun blaster for just screwing around in the house. As a collector, I like whacky strange ammo types. I'm never going to take any of the strange ones to a game but I like them for plinking.
America is a bit behind when it comes to gel blasters. In Australia where air soft is not aloud. Gel blasters have taken over and most air soft companies make the same airsoft guns in gel blaster form. So they are very realistic looking and shoot fast and strong. Check out gel blaster stores in Australia online. Way more advanced than the USA at the moment
6:07 How about the fuel-20, the same thing as this with half the capacity and a grip guard, making it not holstorable. wow
The closest we have to Ultra Rapidstrike is the Select. Looks like one a bit and fires just as fast stock.
Sorry for the bundle of different comments X3
I think given the current state of the market, doing a best blasters that aren't from the mothership vid would be decent. Also maybe a most disappointing non-nerf blasters or something. With your point of just how many they produce, they dominate these vids, and it would be great to see what the list would be if the brand that produces everything they can think of got filtered out
As expected, an Ultra blaster takes the number one spot.
On the topic of the roblox blasters, I think a decent vid to do would be to judge the roblox collection in a single video, oriented towards the demographic of "looking for gift for a kid that enjoys roblox"
More than once I've seen people browsing the flung foam isle and have offered advice, and my lack of knowledge of the roblox stuff is something I'm concerned might hold me back at some point X3
Thanks for the overview of the crumbiest 5 of 2022 - see you in Arlington next weekend buddy.
List was on point👌
Thankfully, at my local stores, PTDZ stuff sells out first. Mostly Nerf stuff as "peg warmers" and "shelf sitters."
I have actually bought the ultra speed and your Reviews Made me kinda sad. Your reason is good, IT IS true that it isnt reasonable for People WHO want to have 10 mags to reload, but I feel Like the blaster Just a Lot of fun. Appart from rival there isnt really any faster firing belasters than this and I Had so much fun with this on Like a 2v2 with Friends.
hey Drac, unrelated to the content of this vid, but I'd love a painting guide to the needler. I know you don't do those much these days but I remember your fondness for the halo franchise and crossing it into flung foam. I'm worried they're sonically welded together so masking it is pretty intimidating
Lord Drac
Great video. Thanks for giving us your opinion on these. Can't wait for next Friday's video.
I think I would definitely swap out the Web shooting hamp for the fortnite GL.
That dumb thing doesn't even werk 2/3 of the time... gave ya 5 shots and you -might- miss a target 10 feet away with 3 rockets.
You might jam entirely on the first shot ol
The Fortnite GL was 2 years ago.
Sooo...glad I didn't buy the $100 jolt re-skin ! (Star wars thingy) 🤓
buzzbee needs to bring back the sental, gel fire is not the best, hyper should be in some sort of proton pack or 1000 round blaster maybe even a sniper blaster, The plase rifle for 55 dollars honestly looks better, demolisher rockets are outshined by mega xl and finally if the speed should only be 30 dollars.
Hmm... I'd actually forgotten that Ultra existed until this video!
When the Nerf GelFire gets marked down, prop houses will snatch them up to make them sci-fi pistols/SMGs for low-budget movies!
Maybe even the same for the Ultra Speed!
I have a question, since you are a guardian did you pre order the nerf ghjallarhorn?
How can you put a blaster in your top 5 worst that was only available on a limited bases? The top 5 worst blasters should be limited to one's you can still buy when you put the list out.
The Amban PP Rifle was on the list last year (as Bobo's dishonorable mention). Some people didn't get it until 2022, so... okay. It is available on Amazon USA for $90USD if that is the blaster you mean is limited (It was supposed to be actually limited but Hasbro lied). Or do you mean the Hyper Impulse which I don't think is sold in the US? The Fuel 20 was even worse, so I thought all 3 Hypers should have been in a single slot. Anyway, we are owed 2 more Worst blasters to fill in for the second Hyper slot and the Amban PP.
Sweet shirt
I may have beat him to his usual top 5 Friday I’m glad it came out I always look forward to a drac video
My Pulse Mando blaster freakin broke man. I would shoot it every now and then, but one day, the dart tube piece snapped off, and now I have to open and load it with two hands just to sneak a dart in. Barely worth the price of admission.
If Buzzbee cranked out some more Air-Warriors Sentinel lever action blasters would they be successful again?
Splatrball are all expensive from what I’ve seen. I lucked out and found mine on sale last year, but msrp wasn’t still like $120
I love Drac and I’m one of the few that likes the speed
Haha, I guessed right that #1 would be an Ultra blaster.
I wish you wouldn't mention gellball guns at all. They don't belong in a foam dart/ball conversation. They are closer to airsoft than real nerf blasters are intended to be. Mentioning them should always be followed by a warning about the fact I just stated.
I really like the Web Launcher actually, I think it’s really fun to use even if it isn’t a blaster you’d run in a battle
Glad you make this, I was just watching all your other top 5s. I can't believe how disappointing nerf is.
As cheap and mediocre as buzz bee is, I feel they're at least better than zuru xshot. Buzz bee at least tries different things and has gimmicks while xshot seems to just re-shell and re-skin the same 5 vanilla focus-grouped blasters they've had for years now. They don't even have any mag fed or electronic blasters and the marketing is very "corpo," catering to the lowest common denominator with front loaded springers.
Still want an affordable automatic belt-feeder with a minimum RoF of 4 darts/sec and the form factor of a PK or M249.
Thank you for your thoughts in the gel blaster. You saved me from making a bad choice. My wallet thanks you as well. Especially during the holidays.
I love your videos
What do you think about the MRBEAST BLASTER
I cant believe that 2022 is over too...
Worst year of my live tbh
The Gel Fire Mythic is a bit of a shame, bc I actually prefer how it looks in a big way to all the real-steel-copies that the gel space has. Maybe it'll drop in price as time goes on and be more worth a pick up.
With an fps of 115 to 130 you don't want it...especially when second hand gel blasters shoot in 200's I couldn't believe how weak it is!!
BuzzBee returning to the cheap budget crud bracket is interesting
I don't why RUclipsrs is in the so called hobby acknowledge Hasbro.
It's been a long time since the days of the Retaliator , longshot extra. 😬
My impulse 40 feeds very well actually. I usually don't dry fire unless I have more than 40 rounds or less than 10 in the hopper. But it still doesn't have a hop up....... 😠😠😠😠😠😠
Hey did you know there was a faze clan blaster? I found it at a thrift store so it's a bit worn down. It takes rival rounds and has a internal magazine.
Did you get the Aliens Pulse Rifle? As a huge Alien nerd it’s a hoot
I think I'm going to mod the Ultra Speed motors and wiring harness and put them into a Fortnite AR-L do you think that's possible? If not,can I use cut down Nerf Mega darts in the Ultra Speed or Ultra Strike?
At least with dart blasters you can go to the competition and get a well designed product for a fair price.
I'm saying this cuz this list of Hasbro senseless greed hits me in my feels, as that awful corpo-mire of a company owns games and IPs that get the same greed treatment but have no competition. Since they are, you know. Their IPs.
Possible to make Ultra stephan darts?
Worst Five in my Opinion
5. Prospect
4. Sabrewing Bow
3. Amban Pulse Rifle
2. Mythic
1. Impulse
Honestly u should have lumped all the hyper blasters together in one spot
Nice!
I’m gonna say it
I’m gonna say it
Nerf ultra darts are better than the elite dart
If adventure force made 200 Ultra rounds for 10bux, I'd be much more open to it.
To be fair almost anything is better than the elite dart
8:20 didn’t that come out in 2021?
i guess i can save up again this year.
it's been 3 years.
Just starting the video, haven't looked at description. I predict that they are all Nerf blasters. In fact, I predict that as long as Nerf makes blasters their stuff will always be the worst blasters of the year.
What are you talking about. Rings of power was the bees knees.
All Hasbro, didn’t see that coming.
I don’t agree with #2. I bought two of the Roblox launchers. They are always on sale. And they hit hard. Maybe he has a lemon but both of mine do some damage.
I honestly dom't understand why people hate on the Gelfire Mythic so much
wow, the amban came out this year?
wow
I got my nephew I can't stand the roblox missle launcher because it was 9.99 on amazon cyber monday
I hope for 2023, we get more mega xl blasters
I hope that Dart Zone keeps killing it and Hasbro decides to go back to rival for good.
@@olivermensinger what do you have against mega xl
Why no video about EndWar this year?
WE MADE IT WOOOOOOO
That game face shirt tho 👀
all hasbro. again. what a surprise.
And HASBRO returning champion takes all 5 spots this year!! Lol
Do to 5 weirdest blasters
after seeing how bad 2022 can be,i kinda like my barrelbreak now
I feel like someone out there somehow likes their Deploy after 2022's lineup came out.
I wish nerf did Powerful nerf guns like the nexses pro and they can call it the extreme elite and make it ages 14+ and it should include good quality not like the glasses 👓 they gave us in the hyper blasters🤢🤮
hi drac
Ultra hate is so 2019.
The Evolve is the best Hyper primary!
And the Impulse is decent too!
Thats a lot like being the best solar powered flashlight. XD
@@LordDraconical lol I'm not the biggest Hyper fan but those 2 are more of a step in the right direction.
Feeding the algorithm
i got the ultra speed for 75 bucks and it had horrible range and absolute dog crap accuracy don'
t buy it
Nerf has fallen
All the nerf blasters sucked, with few exceptions.
The deuce pro ist in my opinion the worst Blaster of 2022 because it always skips darts .So disappointing.
Drac plugged that hard to
Its in the middle for me, As the only half dart revolver not powered by gas, its kinda in a category of its own. Ive sold over a thousand cylinders that fix the issue and enough of them locally that I've all but forgotten it needed a bug fix. Definitely appreciate the reminder but a couple years ago we were all pandering for a half dart revolver and hopefully the Deuce lights the way for a solid one in the coming year,
@@LordDraconical The fact that there's an aftermarket solution is great. But... the fact that we needed an aftermarket solution on what was supposed to be a high performance, combat ready blaster is REALLY disappointing. God I still want to get one though...
Yes I would agree it's the only one I bought or ever would buy. Never even thought about any on the list but I searched for the deuce and was excited to find it. It will shoot six if you slowly prime it back but normal use will always skip.
My bottom 5....
5. Pixelator
4. Duce pro
3. Tornado
2. Vulcanator
1. Flip 16
Most of what came out this year, and the last few years has been crap, but some of the best ever blaster have come out too, mostly from worker and dart zone.
I love the speed, by the way. With 3 3.7v ebl batteries and 3 dummies it's everything it's supposed to be and more. Ultra has its place. The speed was an awesome addition to the line. It's only bad if you don't like ultra. That's not a reason to label it the worst blaster of the year.
Big surprise top 5 worst blasters by Drac are from the mothership. Hmm let me guess what the top 5 best blasters will be? I’m sure it starts with dart zone and adventure force pro. Even though the AF revolver was one of the biggest pieces of poop released this year. Oh well.
The year is not end but OK 😁
I nominate the Deuce for being so disappointing out of the box. Not because of it's performance. It's flaws made what should have been an easy buy into a complete avoid. Skipping darts, darts falling out, etc.
Drax isn't going to put dart zone on the list he's sponsored by them or some type of thing. This list is basically a dart zone ad
Literally saw an older lady today in a local Midwest chain store loading a few fort nite blasters into her cart and she was eye balling the #1 on this list for her older two grandchildren. She saw me looking at some of the blasters on the wall and asked my opinion. After a brief chat she found some different blasters that were cheaper but far better than what she was looking at. Thank you and other content creators for educating the masses.
I honestly dom't understand why people hate on the Gelfire Mythic so much
I'm guessing it's because (as Drac says in the video) there's cheaper AND better blasters out there. Then there's MUCH cheaper or MUCH better blasters out there.
Hating nerf is meta
