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.

• Aeon Pro X

• Nexus Pro X

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.
