The baster was at first very frustrating as I had to drill out the top receiver in order to fit the rail on top, I had to push the barrel back in place, and the magazine had a sticking issue at first (I think it was just some plastic got under the follower so pushing the follow down fixed it) But after initial clean up it is an amazing blaster, just annoying to set up.
I initially found out of darts while searching for some good dart guns for my nephews expecting to find more enthusiast level stuff, viewing the videos and information on this site they produced I decided to go with them. The Unicorn has been a fun blaster to use and build, now seeing all the additional stuff that can be done in this space I look forward to diving even deeper into dart guns.
Everything came in good from the order but there was a small defect in one of the blasters. I contacted Out of Darts and they were able to promptly helped and sent out a full replacement. I would recommend this this store to anyone who's looking to get into darts, or get some great quality dart guns for friends/family.
If you wanted a designated close quarters blaster this is a great option. My only gripe is that despite going to the upgraded green oring pack and gluing in the barrel that fell out of the dart gate (has done this on all 3 unicorns I have owned), I cannot get a perfect air seal. Using slug slime lubricant (also sold at OOD) performance was still relatively consistent and I achieved 150fps average with the 1.7 spring (also sold here), a worker scar and the newest worker darts. Despite the seal issues I still really like this blaster for its durability, features, ergonomics and styling.
Gun has good sturdy build quality but can not get it to shoot. We have tried replacing everything on it and it still bleeds off air and won’t shoot. Pick a different gun to buy
Hi Ryan,
I'm sorry you've had issues with the Unicorn. We'd be happy to help diagnose and/or get you a replacement. The Unicorn has generally been a very reliable and popular blaster.
To me, this sounds like an air seal issue. There are many variables here, but the primary ones are the O-rings, lubricant, and the parts that interface with the O-rings. We’ve got videos on the XYL Unicorn here:
Great compact blaster to use at the local battle park
