XSHOT Pro Fury-X Toy Dart Blaster by ZURU

I bought two of these on sale as my first half-length pro blasters. People refer to the Fury X as a refill pack with a free blaster for good reason - even after the tariff price increases, this blaster is still a competitive purchase with immense value. Its direct competition is the Dart Zone Aeon Pro X, currently at 25 dollars, so here are some points for consideration as to whether or not the Fury X is a good fit for you. Fury X pros: 1: Tons of extra darts included with a respectable 15 dart mag 2: Easy to open for mods and maintenance 3: Ambidextrous magazine release 4: Performance ranges from 120-150 FPS as advertised 5: Decently accurate at stock performance 6: Compatible with Dart Zone PCAR and BCAR rifling attachments 7: Compatible with most standard half-length magazines 8: Aesthetically pleasing with an ergonomic bullpup design Fury X cons (TL;DR: it has QC issues but is tinker-friendly): 1: For some units, the dart pusher can damage darts with regular use due to the magazine sitting too high and tilted forward. This can be mostly fixed with some trial and error. Fixes can be found at r/Nerf on Reddit. 2: The dart pusher o-ring can be insufficiently lubricated on some units, causing it to drag, get pinched, and eventually break - leading to a poor seal and worsened performance. I had to replace this o-ring on one of my blasters already. A 9.8mm ID x 2.4mm CS nitrile o-ring & silicone grease recommended for this fix; I got my o-ring in a set from Harbor Freight for about 5 dollars. 3: Blaster's mag catches can be picky with aftermarket magazines, causing some talon-style magazines to fall out when bumped. Can be fixed by reinforcing or upgrading mag catch springs. 4: Slightly lower FPS & accuracy at stock performance when compared to the Aeon Pro X. 5: The Fury X performs better with Dart Zone ember darts than with the included X-Shot Air Pocket darts. Additionally, ember darts perform better with PCAR attachments and are more durable than the included darts. 6: Fury X does not come with eye protection, a spare o-ring, or a rifling attachment, unlike the Aeon Pro X. The cost to acquire these accessories separately for the Fury X exceeds the cost of the Aeon Pro X. Add at least 2 dollars for impact-rated eye protection if you don't already have some, as eye pro is 100% necessary at this performance level. Neutral comments: -Some people complain that the decorative rivets on the grip cause discomfort, but I did not experience this issue. Such decorative textures can be filed or sanded down as needed. -Getting shot in the face, neck, ears, or joints by half-length darts above 100 FPS is quite unpleasant and can easily leave welts. If you are buying this for children or for teens/adults with low pain tolerance, you will want to encourage them to wear thicker clothes and face shields IN ADDITION to impact-rated eye protection, or opt for using weaker blasters altogether.

The Pro Fury-X is a great entry blaster. It has everything you need to get started right out of the box for $15. Standard magazine well compatibility makes acquiring more magazines a breeze. If you’re interested in the foam flinging hobby, do yourself a favor and pick this up!

This upgraded design had a nice feel in my hands and the grip was comfortable. My daughter loves that this is designed with colors she likes better than the traditional blue and orange you see on most other blasters. The Slam Fire Action feature was super cool too as she was able to fire rapidly unlike some of the other blasters we own.

This is an awesome toy gun! The first time I shot it I was in love. My kids are big into Nerf gun wars and I needed one for the fight so this is easily my weapon of choice. I can see why this is rated 14+ though. Definitely not one for a young beginner but I highly recommend it for a teen or kid who knows not to aim for a face cause this. will. hurt.

Lots of darts included. Super fun and relatively easy to use. I think it works we well as other name brand dart toys but for way less cost.

Very slick looking gun! loads of ammo!

Light weight perfect gun to play with your kid! Even thou its big , it’s easy to use and ran with!

It's cool to have in your arsenal

The XShot Blaster is an awesome toy for endless action-packed fun! It’s lightweight, easy to use, and shoots with great accuracy. The build quality is solid, and it comes at a great price compared to other blasters. The darts fly far and reload quickly, making it perfect for fast-paced battles.

Very good price blaster for entry into high fps nerf. Well, higher. Also super great for those already in the hobby. It's great

Blaster is super light but has good power especially considering the low price.

Pleasantly surprised by how far it shoots! The clip is also cool and easy to load; my youngest doesn’t need any help with it.

Big blaster with small dart, cool skin and very easy to used. Recommended for older kids

I disliked it because it was jammed

I have been waiting on this blaster to get to the states for MONTHS! X-Shot has lowered the bar for entry into the Pro Foam Blaster space. At $15 I am 100% BLOWN AWAY by the performance of this blaster! 40 darts are included. AND it comes with an AWESOME Pink 15 dart Mag, I want a Pile of them!!

A wise man said “for $15 you get 40 darts and a Talon-style magazine, the blaster comes free” Nerf (and by proxy Hasbro), STEP UP YOUR GAME.
