Nerf Rival Artemis XVII-3000 Red

Product Information

Even though the other three barrels have no function, it is interesting to see how the barrels rotate when firing. As with all the NERF Rival blasters, it fires the spherical Rival rounds, terms high impact rounds by NERF, rather than the more familiar Elite Darts.

It features one very long tactical rail on top of the blaster and another on the side, giving plenty of room for add-ons and attachments. Since I love to be on the move, this makes it an excellent blaster for my style of play as it is small, light, can be slung and does not have any of the noise or delay before firing of flywheel blasters.

The only difference is that the Artemis has a trigger while the Ballzooka didn't, as the latter fired when the user worked the pump. At the front is the cool rotating barrel thing, which rotates the four barrels every time you prime it. There is no need for any batteries or even magazines, so this is one of the easiest blasters to get started with. This mechanism favors the left magazine on a fully-loaded Artemis, as the rotating chamber advances counter-clockwise.

I found it was best to load one in each repeatedly rather than put all the rounds into one before moving on to the next due to the way the loading mechanism works (we will go into this later). The Artemis is a solid spring-powered blaster, and a great way to get into the joys of NERF’s Rival series. All in all, this blaster is a great choice for anyone looking for an excellent Nerf blaster that can be used in a variety of situations. The Artemis sits right in the middle of NERF’s Rival range, which caters for foam-popping veterans in their teens or later.Sometimes it’s a matter of choice, personal preference, and priorities, so you might prefer something else. Rival power and accuracy in a compact, lightweight body with 30 rounds of ammo and slam fire capability, the Artemis has very quickly become one of my top blasters. The Prometheus MXVIII-20K is a flywheel blaster with a removable hopper that holds up to 240 rounds of ammunition. I am not a big one for adding sights or flashlights, but if this is an issue for you, you may find that this being the only rail is a negative.
