Nerf made their first ball-fed flywheeler in YEARS! | Nerf Rival Challenger REVIEW

[@newtl7034]

Would've loved to see Coop's review of this blaster, specifically just that faux-N-Strike-barrel-lug.

[@danielmcbride6413]

Ugggh I love thee nerf community but I miss the era I grew up watching it in. I miss video goggle Drac and stereotypes era Coop.

[@michaels9595]

"I'm Out of Luke" would be a great sticker

[@HumanPeeler]

Hi, I'm Darts, with out of Luke...

[@Sillybutts]

I'd buy it

[@BrxIghtside]

Im dying for a pro RIVAL line or re release some of the old olds either og or new colors like stormtrooper and overwatch would be amazing again in stores

[@OgLtBlazer556]

I want an AK Stock and Front barrel extension that fits that jumbo n-strike lug. Beastmode…..

[@Apocalypsejunkiesxtreme]

Challenger + Proton Pack = Unlimited Ammo Semi-Auto, Tired Trigger Finger & Lots of Smiles!

[@GubstersGarage]

Yes, the Rival is not dead! I still have a couple of Perses blasters

[@m00k61]

Love this whole rival series. Cant wait for the Mirage too

[@alexandermacphearson4379]

I would love to see a cage/motor/wheel offering for the Challenger. Would definitely be an automatic buy from me. Also a better front end that squares off the front hand grip area many with some rail for a VFG or a crooked cousin

[@Hexsyn]

I mean they had the hera as a flywheel semi-auto, though I guess that was not a stryfe because it had a handle mag

[@ulischmidt03]

This one is clearly supposed to bring Stryfe vibes, with that faux Nstrike barrel attachment point

[@MaidofRage420]

Honestly, something about this blaster feels like something I've been aching for from a foam blaster. If anything, I hope Hasbro continues with the idea of different flywheel Rivals that could be mirrors of their Nerf counterparts

[@NightFury-jd8ce]

Pleasantly surprised how the inner barrel diameter matches the Perses so even with the deceptive look of N-strike carrel lug slide and twist grooves, it still mates up with the Dark Corps dual purpose mock suppressor very well.

[@bigdapramirez6157]

It's not anything they haven't done before but it is nice to see it coming in at a much cheaper price than the Hades was when that was released

[@chriskrakora351]

Please can you make a Lipo mod guide?! Would love to hook this up to a proton pack!

[@AwkwardPenguin82]

I'd love to see a stock attachment point and a barrel that can attach an underslung Magnus. A Rival Stryfle is my dream blaster!

[@RAYRICHTHERAPPER]

We need the shop to sell mega and rival cages to put your new rival flywheels in our blasters.

[@ianbui5356]

I'm unsure if I will get one, but a few years ago, I definitely would have been all over this. It has a much better form factor than the Hera did. I'm curious about the upcoming Mirage too. I haven't been entirely happy with any of the RIVAL sidearms for one reason or another, but the Mirage shows promise if the stock can be sawed off.

[@CRNerf]

I purchased one. Haven't had a chance to free it from its cardboard prison. 😄

[@KausemkimAirsoft]

I love Rival This needs a stock 👏👍🏼

[@nicksomeonesson]

Great vid! I always enjoy a new nerf blaster review! Since Coop stopped I've kind of lost touch with the hobby. Btw, what happened to the fips and rating at the end?

[@outofdarts]

We still include the performance numbers in our reviews, we just forgot to post it in a graphic on-screen. As for our rating, we felt our biases as a business that sells blasters made a rating system less valuable to viewers.

[@Didymus-vz6uy]

Just looks like an off-brand WH40k bolter

[@ncc28983A]

I am definitely glad you are giving some content love to rival. I feel like there is certainly a place and home for these kinds of blasters in the hobby. I’m hoping the proton pack equipment to come back in stock soon (unless I already missed it) and I would love to hook it up to your Jupiter or Juno platform!

[@Frosty_V0]

No firing demo?

[@Zetson2952]

The yellow held me back from buying one if it was orange I would've been fine

[@mailstorminurbox]

Rival should bring back the attachments

[@stowgood]

It's ok but I wish they still made the persies

[@keriannefowble8363]

Coleld you post a vidio on how to fix a recon mk2

[@blendervendor2220]

I never saw the heavy bolter in this... I think it looks more like Aksomati prime or furis prime from warframe.

[@audiobrainiac]

Love live Rival! Needs a shoulder stock.

[@fordham366]

You talk about losing a ball, removing the mag. This is no different to magfed paintball or midcap Airsoft

[@jamesstephenson8539]

Can it use Coolook and if so how many is safe?

[@mailstorminurbox]

Mirage should have been a flywheeler, it looks like one

[@gothamsfinest7317]

I noticed they have textured lines like they wanted a 3d printed look

[@phillipa2346]

Wish nerf would make a pro line of rival which could shoot 150fps. That would be perfect for older players who play competitively

[@alexandermacphearson4379]

That would be cool but Rival at that FPS doesn’t go any further and is wildly inaccurate 110-120FPS is the best most accurate Rival Ammo should be going. ROF and capacity is where Rival shine

[@bigdapramirez6157]

They probably could with springers but unfortunately flywheels destroy ammo at velocities higher than 100 fps

[@bigdapramirez6157]

I do know there were mod parts for the Kronos that brought it up to 140 but it makes it much harder to prime

[@bigdapramirez6157]

​@@alexandermacphearson4379I also feel like what rival excels at is indoor games, since they aren't as good outside since they lack the range of other blasters and the wind destroys accuracy. But inside it's perfect for people who want power and accuracy without having to mod and even outperforms a lot of stock blasters, even ones like the villainator. Sure it's not as good as pro blasters but since those shoot too hard for indoor/cqb rival is probably the best option

[@alexandermacphearson4379]

@@bigdapramirez6157 Rival in general (Springers or Flywheel) tends to be ineffective at around 120fps and above Rival is great for indoor or outdoors but what it excelled at is capacity and overwhelming firepower with the hopper blasters. I love this design and the Hera before it, but the Perses/Nemesis/Prometheus perfected Rival’s ability in games

[@WizR74]

haha thought he said "I'm outta lube"

[@jackreese3807]

So it’s a rival stryfe?

[@HarryG-man]

Sometimes dead is betta...

[@adriansue8955]

3:35 Worker Rival Mag we really just need to forget that thing exists. works with like... ?two? very old blasters and nothing else don't even bother restocking them, 3 more rounds than the official ones isn't worth the trouble. -any time someone new to Rival wants to stock up on mags and I have to warn them, "Stop! Not that mag, it won't work."

[@outofdarts]

They're higher quality and more readily available than the Nerf brand rival mags, and we've already sold a bunch to use with Juno. The fact that it works in the Challenger with little to no modification required is a bonus.

[@adriansue8955]

@@outofdarts Quality and availability doesn't matter if it doesn't work in Most Blasters. As proud as you are of your creation, Juno does not represent a majority of blasters that people use. I think Worker needs to do a 2.0 Update on that magazine to fix compatibility issues so it can see more General Use; pretending that its Just Awesome As Is doesn't encourage that possibility.

[@m00k61]

​@@outofdartsI own 2 and love that they work with the Challenger

[@abosmalrsg7040]

Noticed one of your folks has the mark of the outsider

[@Mainz_1901]

What?

[@bigdapramirez6157]

Is the magazine a 12 round or an 18 round?

[@ElitePrinterVR]

Its a 12 rounder

[@bigfootnintendorazr]

Awesome!

[@cubation9254]

Kronos is the best!

[@cubation9254]

That mag is wayyy tooo long,I understand the rival ammos are thicker,but…

[@Sparrow_the_great3647]

Warhammer X Nerf

[@R8TEDR]

They ruined the rival line, went back to making gimmick blasters. Nerf has no clue what direction they want to go in. They still haven't learned from years of mistakes, miss opportunities, and just dropping the ball far too often
