About this deal

On a personal note, thanks to the guys down at the Ohio University Urban Gaming League for having conveniently-timed Nerf wars! It made evaluating the blaster a lot easier – especially since I’m known to use anything, so no one really questions what blaster I’m using. Which comes in handy when no one is supposed to know you have this new blaster. Thanks, guys 🙂 Overall, the blaster feels as sturdy as other Rival entries. If you really want to use it, there’s a rail on top for accessories. Firing the Blaster On that topic: this blaster is breech-loaded! The orange lever above the trigger is not a safety; it actually releases the spring-loaded breech. This is a separate action from priming the blaster; it doesn’t matter which one you do first. It would, however, be wise to close the breech prior to firing the blaster. The real “safety switch” is a tiny tab under the trigger.

Each blaster features a mechanical safety that must be disengaged before the blaster's acceleration trigger or firing trigger can be pulled. Initially, products released under the series are released under two color schemes: red and blue. For an unknown reason, however, newer blasters from 2020 have only seen a release in either red and blue. The amount of red and blue blasters announced so far is still equal. 2022 did away with the team colors entirely and instead opted for a new blue and yellow color scheme. The series of letters that follow each blaster name is Roman numerals that translate to what year the blaster was released (e.g. Apollo XV-700. XV is Roman numerals for "15", and the Apollo was released in 2015). However, the letter "M" seems to be an exception, as it designates the "Motorized" feature (instead of "1000", as the letter "M" would represent in Roman numerals). Curve Shot features blasters that can be adjusted to curve in several directions. All blasters exclusive to the sub-series are curvy in design to reflect this main feature of the series. It should be noted that, in my sample size of one, that while the ball stays in the air for an appreciable time due to the imparted spin, it doesn’t seem to float as long as other Rival blasters. It’s still very usable, but I had to adjust my aim slightly. Overall Opinion

Choices, choices, choices. There are many Nerf guns out there. And because we're not talking about a simple water fight here, it pays to be a little more tactical. Are you battling it out inside or out? Is this a daytime feud or one spilling into the wee hours of the night? These are the questions you should be asking as you contemplate a winning Nerf weapon. It's never too late to be a kid. Sure, technically it is, but that's your adult brain at work. With the right state of imagination and a few helpful tools, you can relive your youth. Surprisingly, certain RIVAL blasters, such as the Zeus and the Nemesis, can be modified to shoot Mega Darts. [3] [4]

TO AVOID EYE INJURY: WARNING: Do not aim at eyes or face. Use of eyewear recommended for players and people within range. Use only official Rival rounds. Other rounds may not be safe. Do not modify rounds or blaster.The RIVAL series is designed for Nerfers ages fourteen and up in mind, as it features high-performance, "100 FPS" blasters for "competitive team-based play." [1] Most RIVAL blasters are either magazine-fed or hopper-fed. RIVAL blasters also feature a tactical rail somewhat different from the standard tactical rail. Even with the plunger tube within the grip, it’s no larger than that of, say, a Helios. Most older hands will find it comfortable to hold. Performance Edge Series focuses on accuracy and precision. All blasters exclusive to the sub-series have a sniper-styled feel to them and feature long barrels. The Camo Series features blasters with a camouflage color scheme, and is similar to the BattleCamo Series of N-Strike Elite. As expected, the rate of fire for a single shot, breech loading blaster is somewhat slow (who knew???). At best, with ammo on hand (or stored on the blaster), I could prime the blaster, load the breech, and fire at a target once every three seconds. Of course, that’s assuming reasonable aiming and not just firing for the sake of firing.
