I guess it's safe to say the whole "dart blaster" concept was pioneered by Hasbroz. But I'm not exactly sure that makes everything else a knock-off.

Dart Zone is incorporating features traditionally avoided by Hasbro. Metal barrels, metal internals, high FPS, Picatinny, half-length compatibility, field-stripping and serviceability, etc... If you look at the certificate I posted above, the PRO Series is specifically designed to be mod-friendly, something that Hasbro has stayed far, far away from.

In my mind, this blaster isn't a knock-off. This is the first blaster in a whole new class of commercially available blasters. Hopefully other manufacturers will follow suit, and this new class of blasters will grow into a brand new category of Nerf 🤞
