More for adults or older kids

Bought for the kids originally lol but is adults bought four which we ended up have the most fun nerf fighting. Made the entire party!!!

Best Side Arm!

This is a must have for any Rival Player. It is easier to prime back than the Apollo and it is a very smooth slide. Just arrived yesterday and it works perfectly with the safety switch in all. My only concern is a litrle cosmetic scratch that came with it.

Just buy it already!!

This Nerf blaster is awesome! Seriously it’s so much fun! It’s powerful too! Not enough power for you? That’s OK, you can do a quick google search and buy yourself a stiffer spring which could make it go from a 90fps blaster to a 140fps blaster. There are a whole bunch of 3D printed parts available on Etsy as well. Taking it apart is pretty simple and there are plenty of videos to help you if you’re a visual learner. Check YouTube for the best 3D printed accessories too. I have a few shown in the photos. This gun out of the box is pretty easy to prime for an adult but a child may have some difficulty. Buy that upgraded spring and even an adult may have some issues priming it. Just be ware if you do choose to change the spring. For the few negative reviews about the gun jamming, if you don’t prime it all the way back, it could get stuck mid prime. There’s a small orange tab on the back of the blaster that will release the priming handle and allow you to clear the jam and reprime. You could also use this to load two rounds at once if you’d like. Read the directions people. Don’t give negative reviews if you don’t read the directions first! Overall a lot of fun. If you’re thinking about buying, just do it. You won’t regret it.

The Rival pistol we've been waiting for.

After years of waiting, here is your Rival pistol. This is a springer blaster, with a 5 ball internal magazine. It has a decent hopup, and shoots surprisingly accurately. (It may actually be the most accurate Rival blaster.) At $20 retail, this is a great starter blaster, or secondary for people using larger primaries. In the first couple hundred fireings, I haven't succeeded in causing a jam. Even when intentionally loading two balls at once, it still fires flawlessly, and with a decent velocity.

Shoots straight - good for indoor target practice

Son enjoys this. Shoots straight and fast with good aim. Fun for indoor target practice. Much better than the longer missile shaped nerf shooters. A bit difficult for a kid to cock between shots, so not for little kids (he is 9 and its a challenge - wouldn't recommend any younger). You feel it when you are hit, but doesn't quite leave a mark unless at very close range. If your kid likes this one (and that is likely), he/she will soon want a larger one that can hold more ammo. If having a war, do wear protective goggles. Don't shoot your eye out!

Size matters. Ammo too.

Awesome blaster. I’m changing it’s spring so it shoots harder, though it shoots hard already. Not too large and elegant once you paint over the Spartan helmet drew on a side of the gun.

Finally a nerf pistol that looks closer to normal weapon

Absolutely lovely piece of engineering. Everything feels built strurdy, nothing squeezes, nothing is loosened. Grip is really nice and comfortable, even with large hands like mine. Got used to initial discomfort (lower part of grip might be longer) in first 10 minutes. Lacks an slamfire option, but it was done so in purpose of safer re-loading. Fires amazingly strong and precise.

One of the most powerful pistols I've ever used.

While I'm not so crazy by the limited capacity of 5 rounds, you can't deny this blaster is rarely inaccurate; and it's got serious power. You need two hands to operate this performance pistol. It delivers a shocking and high performance 90 ft. I generally use this as a back up, and a surprise blaster, if I need to really hit my target with only one shot. This blaster also has ion sights to use to aim properly. It's a big pistol, but yet I had no problem finding a holster. I thought this blaster wouldn't be worth it, but it's worth every penny, and I regret ever doubting it.

Best "bang for your buck"

Best Bang for your buck nerf gun I have ever seen/used, by far. It has a pretty decent range and surprising accuracy for the size of the barrel. It is fairly straightforward to use and relatively easy to operate. My 9 year old step son has no problem charging the slide, and after the hour long battle we just had in the front yard, we decided this is the favorite of the 3 Rivals we currently own (this one, Apollo, and Zeus). I will be ordering a second one soon. I will say that the options for the weapon are limited; there's no breech access or way to unload the magazine. But for the price this gun is well worth it. Powerful enough to have a decent range and relatively consistent accuracy, yet not so powerful as to leave welts or break things indoors.

Great gun for cosplay.

I bought this gun for a Fallout cosplay. It's a very affordable Nerf gun that is easily modifiable. It fires very well and doesn't Jam at all. I took mine apart and spray-painted it. If you're interested in getting into the Nerf rival Series this is a great entry-level consumer product.
