NERF RIVAL SERIES
INTRO TO RIVAL BLASTERS
Nerf Rival was the first series in a long time that accelerated Nerf guns forward along their path of evolution. Another major milestone in Nerf’s history was met. The credit goes to the change in design of the ammunition from darts to balls or High-Impact Rounds as they are called. It opened up a whole new style of play that continues it’s success today.
THE RIVAL SERIES HAS HIGH FPS NERF GUNS
FPS or better known as “Feet Per Second” is the velocity or speed at which the High-Impact Rounds are traveling from the gun to it’s unfortunate victim. I mean target. Rival used to have the highest FPS Nerf guns and dominated for some time. That was until Hyper was released and took the crown.
NERF RIVAL BLASTER DIVERSITY
There is a nice arrangement of tactical blasters in this series, along with an abnormally high number of automatics.
Rival Nerf Gun Stats & Information Gateway
PERSES MXIX-5000
Arguably the most powerful Nerf gun around. The Rival Perses will cycle rounds at a rate of 8 BPS on average and is fed by a 50 round integrated magazine. Fully Automatic is your only mode of delivery, however, with some practice this can be controlled to short bursts.
This Nerf gun is on the heavier side due to the additional weight from the battery pack, yet it still manages to have a good ergonomic feel to it.

KHAOS MXVI-4000
The Rival Khaos is another fully automatic Nerf gun that’s driven by an acceleration trigger and fed by a 40 round clip. This style of magazine gives an increased reload speed, however, I do find the gun to have a lower, but consistent rate of fire.
Additionally, the iron sight does have a practical purpose, although, it will eliminate the option to use the upper tactical rail. I’ve found that once you’re used to the sight it’s hard to go without it.

NEMESIS MXVII-10K
The Nemesis 10K is the powerhouse of the Rival series and it achieves this through sheer volume. The rate of fire is consistent with the Khaos but significantly lower than the Perses, however, you have twice the ammo to feed through. This slight advantage will keep you in the action for longer periods.
This is a larger Nerf gun and will affect your mobility while transitioning due to the additional weight. It’s nothing alarming but will take some getting use to. Larger guns make small areas seem smaller.

ARTEMIS XVII-3000
Moving into the manual territory, the Rival Artemis is a pump-action Nerf gun that has two modes of delivery, single and slam-fire. It has a 30 round integrated mag that has a 3 by 10 split. This blaster is capable of keeping pace with fast cycle times but I would use caution because it will hinder accuracy.
This Nerf gun has a slightly abnormal feel to it without a stock but that’s what makes it unique. Repetition will ultimately win out as you become more familiar with this blaster so I recommend lots of practice. Moreover, take advantage of the sling point below the grip.

NERF RIVAL AMMO & ACCESSORIES
HIGH-IMPACT ROUNDS
All Rival Nerf guns use High-Impact Rounds and is the only ammunition that’s compatible with these blasters. They have a high level of durability, however, abrasions and such will affect performance. Caution not to mistake these with Hyper rounds which are NOT compatible with Rival blaster, nor will High-Impact Rounds work in Hyper Nerf guns.
HIGH-IMPACT ACCU-ROUNDS
Accu-Rounds are the latest Rival ammo to be released. They are blue in color and are supposed to have an increased accuracy over the original High-Impact Rounds. This ammo will be compatible with all Rival Nerf guns and will be sold separately, although, they will come packaged with the 3 new guns.
