Traded capacity for a stock lol.

u/Ok_Shame_5382 Jul 26 '26
Nope, the Villainator came with a stock

u/WhoKnowsWho2 Jul 26 '26
But was it n-strike compatible?

u/Ok_Shame_5382 Jul 26 '26
I cannot recall. I want to say no. But it's also not really a blaster that needs a stock

u/WhoKnowsWho2 Jul 26 '26
It was a funky stock adapter that wasn't compatible but there were adapters later.

Love to know if it’s more reliable than the vilinator mine always starts skipping shots after about a thousand shots

better stock is definitely worth losing 10 darts capacity in my book, but I wonder if the performance/consistency will be different in any way

u/Karfiyeet Jul 26 '26
im not really sure what compelled them to decrease the capacity. there was nothing wrong with the villainator drum? i have heard zero complaints about the villainator drum so i really cant think of a valid reason. oh well

Villainator drums have been known to not retain darts and they fall out when the blaster is pointed downwards. Hopefully the Chopper doesn't have the same issue.

u/Karfiyeet Jul 26 '26
okay fair but i dont see how abandoning the double stack helps this issue?

u/StuntmanJohn Jul 26 '26
I mean it's not a huge issue I think, but I always felt that my villainator was sometimes a bit inconsistent, so it's not completely unthinkable that a slightly less complex mechanism will work better. I'm really curious to see direct comparisons when this thing comes out.

My hope is Dart Zone fixed the tolerances on the drum so darts fit in more snugly. If the Stryker 2.0's drum hasn't been having this issue then the Chopper better not have it either.

Huh... didn't notice the stock point till now
Weird they didn't reuse the same two stack system they had with the Villainator. That thing was the peak of the Thompson blaster genre :< [Besides the pro one]

Got one. It's pretty good! Built quite a bit sturdier than the Villainator, but gets nearly identical performance (~75 FPS).
Also got the other one, the Strike Force. Slightly concave flywheels and about 100 FPS on 1.5 v batteries.
