Talk:X-Shot


 * You're not really one to complain about assumptions, might I add. The X-Shot brand has sat idle for quite a while now, with the Xcess and the bow-thing the last ones to be released (last year). With a year of no blasters, minus that new water blaster, I had thought the series was done for.


 * Feel free to correct me, like I've said, but I think X-Shot is on a bit of a hiatus right now. GA  GE  23:24, March 9, 2013 (UTC)

Proving something.
yep, i can prove that they are under that line.

see this link: https://x-shot.zuru.com/products/

then put the filter to "excel."

you will see all the blasters i listed and more.


 * Here's the thing about using the website as proof: the Nerf website is/was similar, with how it organized products. Mostly, though, when we organize information on the wiki, we go by packaging. I understand that the website still uses the name "Excel" for these blasters, but I have not seen any other information - packaging, descriptions, etc - that call them Excel blasters.

 * For all intents and purposes, these should be organized as X-Shot releases. Excel hasn't had an actual release in years, and this continues to be the case with announced products at the Toy Fairs each year. Jet  ( Talk  *  Contributions ) -

Modern X-Shot Darts
Do these have an official name of any kind? They look similar to the Excel Dart but all packaging doesn't provide a name, and I can't find any information if they're just, in fact, Excel Darts with a color scheme and not something new/upgraded.

nah, not really.

i recently bought a hurricane and a max attack and as far as i can teel, they're just refered to as "darts".

 * ...then what do we call the new darts then? X-Shot Dart's already taken... do we use that as a conjecture name and just stick a year on the end, for whenever they were first released? Jet  ( Talk  *  Contributions ) -

they're the same thing as  excel darts, so...

Dark blue =/= black?
I don't think the dark blue bits of modern X-shot blasters should be referred as "black". I own an updated Xcess and I've seen a lot of modern X-shot blasters and they clearly have a blue tint on them. Similarly with red versions of Regenerator, Omega and Max Havoc they have dark gray parts. The only modern X-shot blasters that have black parts are Ninja recolors and original Meteor and Orbit. Shouldn't these blasters (from main X-shot line) be changed?

Where does X-Shot Laser belong?
There's this Laser360 blaster thing which was released I think in 2019. Last time I've seen it on shelves was in 2019. On official Zuru site it appears alongside other Excel-style blasters despite it (and some random Bug Attack bow) not being a dart blaster. Does it belong to general X-Shot or should it have it's own X-Shot Laser article? SharkChew (talk) 15:41, 20 October 2020 (UTC)

 * It doesn't particularly belong on the wiki, since it's not a dart blaster. The only laser tag blasters we have on here are ones branded for Nerf. Jet  ( Talk  *  Contributions ) -
