I like the Dictator way more than I thought I would. I still don't know if I like it or the Tomcat better. Took them both to a war and got tons of tags with both.
I absolutely love this blaster. My favorite blaster I've ever owned. Ordered it on launch day and it's PERFECT for my play style. If you don't like mags, and you do like springers, buy it. Buy it now.
Dude I love my Tomcat and I'm in love with Dart Zone! Adventure force too! They're honestly the most amazing company I've seen in a long time! The way they interact and listen to the community is unmatched! Same for the way they watch the aftermarket industry! I can't get enough of their products!
Fun fact, there's already a mag adapter for this on Franz Foam Works. And I was slightly worried about this blaster too. Some were getting theirs with the mold making it slightly bent, and the rotation issue of the Deuce was also a factor in that for me. Looks like things are much better
Walcom in the Villanator review: "Dart Zone, if you're watching, PLEASE make a pro version of this" Dart Zone: *Actually makes a pro version of the villainator* Walcom: (:
Already made my tomcat mag fed, and can swap right back to drum or vice versa. Also have a folding worker stock and a shotgun style pump grip on the way. I love it.
I love how this looks. For something many were waiting for, I’m glad to it’s not disappointing. It’s pricey, but it seems worth it. I definitely want one! Just wanted to say as well, thank you very much for signing our sign, we’re going to frame it when we get it!
AC foam works really needs to make a scar barrel for this thing. The Nexus pro one fits and works, but it's near impossible to get out once it's in. Trust me, I've tried lol.
I still love my Nexus Pro and won't stop using it but the Tomcat is a must for any Nerf Squad. One of the best business decisions Dart Zone made since coming out with the Nexus was the Tomcat and then they went a step further and started selling 50 round drums separately which now makes it possible to go into battle and never have to reload! And Man, it hits like a sledgehammer. Definitely not for young children unless you hate them!
Pop open the barrel attachment and you can swap out the 19mm bit that goes into the front of the blaster with a Worker scar. Keeps the same external look, attaches the same way, and there's your accuracy taken care of 😎
@@WalcomS7 Obviously based on the Tommy-gun name. (though the Tomahawk is also named after the looks of the front end. Looks like a wedge tied onto a stick.) They thought of it after the Villainator, which they presumably named because of the Tommy-gun's association with Mobsters.
Love the Tomcat! Like my comment on the 1.2 review, I feel like the Tomcat does all the right things. Like you said the ergo, and simple, smooth, astetic is really nice! Also probably best blaster of 2022. I'm kinda in love with the Fate too though! Such a fun, simple, effective, moddable platform that is extremely comfy and versatile!
Might be the best blaster of 2022. There's a NERF RIval blaster on the horizon I am massively hyped for though, and while it's a 2023 release it might be here before the end of the year.
I really like the idea of using standard Nerd stock attachment points on these blasters, I just wish they would go for a more reinforced design. Most nerf blaster will have a little ledge of plastic that fits under the stock when it's attached and that would help a lot
Seriously though. I was eagerly awaiting every single Dart Zone release this year. It's like they were making my own personal wish list. And then they released... Yeeeah... Glad to see this is good. Though I'm still extremely disappointed in their new flagships and especially the Deuce Pro.
I love my Tomcat, it's an amazing blaster. It can be a little cantankerous sometimes, and the slamfire is....eh, at best, but I don't use slamfire, so for me it's genuinely my ideal blaster.
I totally agree walcom this is the best one they came out with this year, and yes as I am sure you know by now there is already a mag conversion kit. I just got the files and can't wait to get it printing. I am personally not a drum mag fan, and wish this had come out mag fed. The dictator would have been my choice for #1 if it had the power the tomcat has, but that should be an easy fix and is probably the most flawless in operation than all the rest of this years offerings.
I love your videos. One thing that is odd to me about all foam blaster reviewers: why they don't vise/stabilize the blasters for the accuracy tests. Seems like an odd thing to NOT take a scientific approach to...
I know im 9 months late but if you haven’t already found a job I wish you the best of luck and if you already have one i hope you’ll be very successful at it 😉
For xmas getting this for not only myself but my special guy. Two xmas together anniversary and totally in love and in love with flinging foam. Probably the biggest splurge I'll make on a blaster. Lol I'm cheap and wait for sales and only pay full price for blasters I fall in love with (eg. Saturn, Takedown, Sportsman, Spectrum) so this'll be a hell of a xmas. Thinking ahead already cause as you get older it comes before you know it.
that funky loading tho TBH I think i'd have preferred they just made it a single stacked 25 round drum still plenty capacity, and it would let them reduce the diameter a little
I can’t wait for this to be modded as mag fed with a open-hand pump action primer (I’d do it myself but ion own a 3D printer and I’m still in the “process of learning”); 💯
I would love a mag fed Tomcat. It'd be epic for CQB =, even though they have other guns for that. It would be really nice in my opinion. The Nexus and Stryker have the grip that's either too hard to prime or too uncomfortable, plus you have to have your hand ALL the wat out to the front of that long barrel. The tomcat seems to have a closer more comfortable prime (without the drum getting in the way)
That appears to be the standard DZ Max packaging for online exclusive blasters. That’s what mine came in. As well as my MK2 and MK3. They don’t exactly have to make them look pretty since they just sit in a warehouse until someone buys it. 1.2 and 2.2 boxes only looked cool because of the FPT.
I refused to listen to Dart Zone instructions on how to load the outer ring. You can easily use a ballpoint pen to shim the dart to the outer position and reuse the rear load gate. Bam, no bent darts.
So glad to see the Tomcat being another Slam dunk... I'm worried about the Dictator though! Guess that's next!
Hey how's your day
I bought the dictator and honestly, it’s as good as the conquest.
ruclips.net/video/3CpBJa9d8_o/видео.html
And the short mag attachment has been made haha!
I'd like to see a Dictator review. The aesthetics and ergonomics appeal to me more than the Conquest.
I like the Dictator way more than I thought I would. I still don't know if I like it or the Tomcat better. Took them both to a war and got tons of tags with both.
Pretty much a pro short dart villainator. Refreshing to see a positive review for once. Can't wait to take mine for a spin 🔥
I was thinking Villainator too or even the Magnum X2 (Pistol Version) since Tomahawk is motorized and not really a fair comparison.
The Villainator doesn’t have dart posts, so it can technically take half darts, you just have to ramrod them in
I was thinking the same thing. I'm still up in the air on this one. Definitely be waiting for a sale 😁🔫
I think I'll be sticking to the villainator. Price, like the form-factor, lower FPS for more friendly play, and swappable drums.
I absolutely love this blaster. My favorite blaster I've ever owned. Ordered it on launch day and it's PERFECT for my play style. If you don't like mags, and you do like springers, buy it. Buy it now.
Even if you like mags, this blaster is so thin and there's already a mag adapter out for it.
@@WalcomS7 100%. You're right, I'll never touch my nexus pro again lol. I think I'll buy a second one to mess with.
I love Dartzone, and now that they are selling 50 round drums separately I am a repeat customer!

I agree with all ur points bro. Definitely top choice blaster for 2022. I Luv the simple and clean design 👍 Great review.

Dart Zone: *Actually makes a pro version of the villainator*
Walcom: (:
Walcom I love the enthusiasm and honesty you bring to the space even not only is this blaster a slam dunk, but so are your videos!
Sometimes the enthusiasm seems unwarranted to me anyway, but not this time! I was just as enthusiastic when I got mine!
Pro Villianator strikes again! This blaster looks so good. It's on my list for sure.
Already made my tomcat mag fed, and can swap right back to drum or vice versa. Also have a folding worker stock and a shotgun style pump grip on the way. I love it.
good touch with Brain Eraser. F-Zero needs more love from Nintendo

Super stoked you stabilized the blaster for the accuracy test in this one! 👏
I like how when the dart hits the side of the chronograph it still fires harder than most elite blasters
The best blaster dart zone has ever released. I’ll never need a new primary again.
This blaster shares a name with the most beloved fighter jet in history
Wait wait wait what am I missing here at 9:49.. I can set up a nerf range in my basement?! I need thi-… I mean my 4yo needs this 😇
AC foam works really needs to make a scar barrel for this thing. The Nexus pro one fits and works, but it's near impossible to get out once it's in. Trust me, I've tried lol.
2:00 stryker 2.0
Hearing the old F-Zero GX music in the background was a blast from the past for me
I see the winds of angst and peer pressure are blowing in dart zone’s favor again.
I love the Tomcat, wish they had like a 25-30 round drums :)
I love this blaster, on Amazon it comes in the same packaging as you got
I still love my Nexus Pro and won't stop using it but the Tomcat is a must for any Nerf Squad.

A blaster called "Jerry the mouse" should be a luger looking half-length pistol
The Tomcat makes a good sniper rifle. I added a custom barrel, bipod, and a real scope and it's now my go to weapon.
Walcom, your are correct. I never touched my Nexus anymore. The Tomcat is now my default blaster in a match.
This blaster is the embodiment of the phrase 'function over form'. Very simple, but very effective.
Pop open the barrel attachment and you can swap out the 19mm bit that goes into the front of the blaster with a Worker scar. Keeps the same external look, attaches the same way, and there's your accuracy taken care of 😎
When you thought the Tomahawk 60 couldn’t get any better.
I was actually astounded that the Tomcat was a springer and not a flywheeler. Tomahawk? Tomcat? Is there a naming scheme here?

1:09 I only care about the kitty
can I just say, dart zone always makes a good looking blaster? Its always smooth and nice.
I have to say, I waited with such excitement for the 1.2 and now, this may be my next blaster purchase instead. Solid review as always brohamilton.
Great job walcom love to see your honest reviews
Best 2022 DZ release no thought!
Might be the best blaster of 2022. There's a NERF RIval blaster on the horizon I am massively hyped for though, and while it's a 2023 release it might be here before the end of the year.

I'm loving the interactive target!! Nice and objective review as always..
i do hope dart zone take all the criticisms at heart and improve their next line of blasters i wholeheartedly believe theyre the better ones out there
The Tom Cat is legit just a nerfed version of a AA12
It almost looks like the halo bulldog shotgun 😊
Seriously though. I was eagerly awaiting every single Dart Zone release this year. It's like they were making my own personal wish list. And then they released... Yeeeah... Glad to see this is good. Though I'm still extremely disappointed in their new flagships and especially the Deuce Pro.
That's funny been following this channel for a bit didn't realize use to live like a town away in Bremerton

Thanks to your review, I am going to get a Tomcat on discount now, instead of a Max Stryker or Nexus Pro
I think I might pick this bad boy up. I don't have any short-dart blasters, but with how good this one is I would mind it being my only one.
I'm honestly surprised that they are not only sticking with but expanding the pro line😊
I love your videos. One thing that is odd to me about all foam blaster reviewers: why they don't vise/stabilize the blasters for the accuracy tests. Seems like an odd thing to NOT take a scientific approach to...
I so want this sexy AF blaster! Imagine Coop trying to do the 430 dart challenge with this puppy!
Love the blaster. Once I find a new job it's on my list
I know im 9 months late but if you haven’t already found a job I wish you the best of luck and if you already have one i hope you’ll be very successful at it 😉
print the talon mag adapter, turns it into something way better . way smoother prime.
I'm a sucker for the Chicago Typewriter, so this along with the Alpha Auto 72 and the Villainator...I'm going to have to get a Zoot Suit aren't I?
I want the fake gun jerry is holding here to be the "jerry blaster." A nerf blunderbuss would be funny.
With a cut down 788 spring it hits a comfortable 130 cap making it probably the best springer for HvZ...
I preordered the Tomcat. I already have the Nexus Pro, but I find that I don’t really like magazines, so a 50 dart drum is perfect.
Rear loading drum out of the box LET'S GOOOOOOOOO
For xmas getting this for not only myself but my special guy. Two xmas together anniversary and totally in love and in love with flinging foam. Probably the biggest splurge I'll make on a blaster.

The dartzone typewriter
Gotta love that F-Zero GX music 🔥
Read the title, immediate hype, clicked title
Same
thanks to your review, i skipped the Dart Zone Mark 1.2, Max Stryker, and Nexus Pro, and bought this Tomcat instead.
This blaster looks solid.
arm day
I am very happy with mine so far. Thank you for the video!
2022 the year of cylinder blasters
Looks like a AA-12
I saw a RUclips shorts with this one modded to take mags. I hadn’t seen this blaster yet and thought that’s how it worked
that funky loading tho
TBH I think i'd have preferred they just made it a single stacked 25 round drum
still plenty capacity, and it would let them reduce the diameter a little
Thanks for the video. Cool blasters.
I can’t wait for this to be modded as mag fed with a open-hand pump action primer (I’d do it myself but ion own a 3D printer and I’m still in the “process of learning”); 💯
Let's just have every single dart brand send him every nerf gun
If it was the same price as the Nexus or the Stryker I'd have one already, I'll wait for it to go on sale
I would love a mag fed Tomcat. It'd be epic for CQB =, even though they have other guns for that. It would be really nice in my opinion. The Nexus and Stryker have the grip that's either too hard to prime or too uncomfortable, plus you have to have your hand ALL the wat out to the front of that long barrel. The tomcat seems to have a closer more comfortable prime (without the drum getting in the way)
For the same price nerf wants us to buy a 32 shot goofy flip blaster this has high performance higher capacity
They better sell extra drums. Cause I'm gonna be a bonna find mob boss with this and the duce
I wish I had a nexus Pro walcom
Me who skipped the Nexus to save for a Caliburn:
Hey keep up the great work love the content btw are you gonna do another 25 days of tagback?
I'm thinking about doing something like that, I already have a box full of stuff.
Looks like an AA-12, and with a 3D printer can take mags? Yes please!
We need more mega xl
The barrel and top of the tomcat reminds me of worker swift except for the drum, grip, and the stock
If they ever have make a blaster with a drum mag and it doesn’t have slam fire I’m sueing
Rear loading?! Dart Zone, can we get a revolver blaster with a rear loading cylinder please!
hey its me the kamen rider fan that lurks in the comments sections of nerf videos
you see the first episode of geats? its very good.
That appears to be the standard DZ Max packaging for online exclusive blasters. That’s what mine came in. As well as my MK2 and MK3. They don’t exactly have to make them look pretty since they just sit in a warehouse until someone buys it. 1.2 and 2.2 boxes only looked cool because of the FPT.
What’s the name? Tomcat? Give me every single fucking one you have in stock
Im pretty sure they made a Thomson and was like; ok, we made a bad ass gun, what should we name it? Probably a bad ass name… Tomcat sounds good
Gus why is your megazord part dart blaster?
Title says Idw to touch my Nexus
Me who owns a metal kit modified Nexus with 12kg spring: *Annoyed Michael Scott Face*
Got one and it is worth every penny
I refused to listen to Dart Zone instructions on how to load the outer ring. You can easily use a ballpoint pen to shim the dart to the outer position and reuse the rear load gate. Bam, no bent darts.
I just bought the Roughcut for the sake of walcom
Lol it has been made mag fed already. Looks dope too.
Looks like the bulldog from halo which is a pretty cool design
took it to a war today, it was pretty fun but still tough to compete with the decked out 3D blasters
Make the loading system like a ppsh41 where it can take big drums or little magazines
OOOOO NEW BLASWERRR COMINNN
My only question about this blaster: WHY IS TOM READING NEKOPARA?!
Because he's a cat of culture.
when we good we good
Are you going to do a review on the Nerf M41A Pulse Rifle?
