NERF Rival Nemesis MXVII-10K Blaster, Blue (Amazon Exclusive)

A blast! My kiddo loves it and it's fun, definitely on the heavy side but it doesn't deter my 9 year old lol he loves it so much.

This thing is an absolute behemoth of a blaster, even without the batteries or rounds, it weighs a LOT, adding the D batteries adds a lot more weight, so I absolutely recommend buying the Rival Rechargeable Battery Pack along with your Nemesis to decrease it's weight during firing a lot. I also recommend buying a shoulder sling or strap for this beast if you plan to carry it around!It's an impressively designed blaster for sure, worth the hefty entry fee!

It is a good toy and a lot fun for a 7 year old kid

The media could not be loaded. Get your geek on as this is the end all of all Nerf guns, it is truly awesome. Bought two, for myself and son to relive some childhood moments. Along with the rechargable NiCad power packs and extra ammo, the gun is insane. The gun cycles 100 balls in 40 seconds with accuracy, speed, and power for a good 80-100 feet. With a simple Lipo battery mod, you can have this gun cycling 100 rounds in 13 seconds with even greater speed and power. Check out the Head Shot replacement ammo on Amazon as they are less expensive and gives you more rounds for your money over the Nerf brand. And you will want more ammo. Our indoor battles have been hilarious, 200 balls flying all over the house in under a minute. Epic Battles. Wife however, is a bit less amused lol.

My daughter loves this gun! It was her favorite Christmas present. She's 7 so she struggles to cock a lot of the other spring loaded nerf rival guns. This one requires no such strength. Just press the button to spool up the firing mechanism and pull the trigger. It's able to shoot in short bursts or full automatic rapid fire mode. My daughter said the only thing she doesn't like about the gun is that since it shoots so fast she runs out of balls before the rest of us do. Haha we're shooting with various 10-15 ball rival guns. She doesn't seem to mind it but the gun is quite heavy, but as you can see not THAT heavy as my 7 year old wields it like a mini terminator. It's a bit pricy but as with anything I buy for my daughter it's worth it to see her joy and happiness.Ball velocity: I don't have one of these https://www.amazon.com/Ballistic-Precision-Chronograph-Slingshot-Velocity/dp/B0B5ZY8M4V to measure actual velocity of the balls, but just from sight and feel this gun doesn't shoot quiet as far or as fast as a couple of our other spring loaded rival guns.Battery life: Battery life seems pretty short. It takes 4 D cells! No wonder it's heavy right? I will probably by the rechargeable pack that nerf makes for this gun. When I do I'll put up a review of that as well. I hope someone finds this review helpful.My ratings:Fun factor: 5/5 but really off the chartsAccuracy: 3/5Ball velocity: 3/5Ease of handling: 2/5Ease of reloading: 5/5 (open sliding drawer and dump balls in that's it)Overall i definitely recommend this gun.

We are a Nerf Family. Everyone gets a gun. But whoever is behind the trigger of this baby is smiling, and everyone else is running for cover.YouTube'd Nerf nerders for hours before picking this one. It does not disappoint. Awesome range, accuracy, and rate of fire. Even when throwing fire control to the wind, it does not empty the hopper "too quickly". Downsides: It is neither small nor light weight. At 28" long and weighing in around 4 lbs fully loaded, it definitely fills the Nerf "heavy gunner" role. Difficult for anyone smaller than a strong 10 yr old to run-and-gun with it, but they could absolutely hold down a fort. For teenagers and older, it would be difficult to find a better foam thrower. One thing you must get right every time: The hopper slide door, where you load the ammo, must be FULLY LATCHED CLOSED before the gun will work. There is an interlock switch.Also of note, as an ammunition type, the Rival rounds go EVERYWHERE. As opposed to shaft darts that hit-and-drop, or do a mild tumble, the Rival rounds are easily capable of travelling 20 - 30 ft, hitting a flat surface and ricocheting back past your ear. Indoors, expect to find them in overhead lighting, under kitchen stoves, and anywhere else you would never want to go looking for ammo. That said, they are soft and squishy and arguably hurt less than the shaft darts.

It shoots very far and doesn't hurt as much as the darts. The balls also stay on target better and seem to be less effected by air resistance.

The media could not be loaded. It worked the first few times, then it stopped working. The motor you can still hear, however the spinner that shoots out the bullets inside the gun doesn’t spin anymore. Expensive toy, you’d think it would last longer than a day. The seller was good.
