For some, the Tachi is too long; for others, it's not durable enough. Introducing the Koda Mag: A 23-round, 33% glass-fiber nylon, unibody short dart magazine. Eli designed these to be the most durable, competition-grade option out there and still be able to keep up with the full rate of fire of Momentum.
Short for Kodachi (literally "short tachi"), the Koda is the next iteration of our injection-molded magazine offerings. Let me tell you all about them!

John Philip Souza wrote some great Kodas, although John Williams wrote some of the most memorable Kodas of modern times. The Koda was first popularized by Beethoven during the European Classical era in the 1700s. Kodas are most commonly used in sonata form as the recapitulation at the end of the movement.

Would love to see a dye guide! Love the Tachi and hope to see iterations off the curved mag design in future once your mold costs are amortized, but these were definitely the next step to take for a carrier-friendly loadout mag, and must have saved a ton of headaches in assembly while also being so tough!

Kodachi is just "small tachi" Kotō era is basically the time in Japan from the 8th century ish to the 16th when the cool kids all carried swords. Koto is also an instrument... A floor harp guitar, sort of.

@mccbuddytaras6637 Жыл бұрын

dye guide would be cool. either carrying or having a suggested brand of dye would also be helpful if you never go to full production on in house colors. just got my koda in about a week ago and initial impressions are fantastic. might be my go to when a talon doesn't suit. would be neat to have a specific 'dictator' adapter that allows for something like 35 rounds in the dictator without having to flip to reload, and fills the space better. also would be cool to have some sort of stock adapter for the conquest pro that fits over the koda some way. ideas ideas ideas :)

@outofdarts Жыл бұрын

The +5 Mag extender for the Tachi also fits on the Koda, making the capacity 28 rounds. I believe a Koda with an extender installed also fits in the Dart Zone Dictator! As for the Stock options, hmmm. I can't say that we'll get to it soon, but it certainly sounds like a neat idea!

You should include on the dyeing tutorial video on dying it one color, putting squiggles of hot glue on the mags, then dipping them in another color, that way when you take off the glue, you have a really cool dual color design. I play lacrosse and I’ve done this with my lacrosse stick heads, and it’s really cool in my opinion

I think the koda mag might also be referring to a coda in music. A coda is the section that brings the music piece to an end. Side note: will there ever be a clear variant?

Magazine looks awesome. 23 round capacity is great. This might be a good option for the Dictator. It’s just hard for me to buy a $20 magazine for a blaster going for less than $15 at Target right now. Hope you offer dyed magazines in the future.

@TheYoshi115 Жыл бұрын

I'm not understanding. A blaster going for a very accessible price is... problematic?

@Andygriff1975 Жыл бұрын

@@TheYoshi115 No, the Dictator going for $15 is awesome. Even though I already owned one I bought 6 more at that price and already gave away 4 of them. My mental hurdle is buying additional magazines at $20 for a blaster that is $15. It would be cheaper to buy more blasters, keep the magazines and ditch the blaster. Hope that explanation made more sense.

Yes! The Tachis and Kodas both work with most magwell adapters. The only ones we don't recommend for Tachis are the ones without a mag release because the mag can be too heavy to be retained.

Why is this better than a katana?

@outofdarts 10 ай бұрын

After experience with both short dart mag geometries on the market, Katana mags are less compatible and less durable than most mags with a standard talon profile. With the pervasiveness of talon mags and compatible offerings in the last few years, it was an easy choice to make when Eli and Luke came to market with the Tachi. The Koda fits somewhere in between the Tachi and a standard straight 15-dart talon in capacity, is easier to holster than curved mags, and it's more durable with it's unibody glass-fiber nylon construction.
