    Since the bullets for this is sphere shaped, it rolls and bounces everywhere. The bullets are easily lost. It has good range, and the easily handled by my 4 year old. It also have a good force on it, and hurts more than regular Nerf bullet. Overall good, but not perfect.

    My son is a bit of a Nerf expert so he knew exaclty what he wanted and which color so it was easy for me to shop. He's had this gun for 2 days now and hasn't stopped using it. He's built mini shooting ranges throughout the house and is having a blast. The nerf balls do fire harder than the darts do so I wouldn;t suggest close range battles or head shots.

    The Artemis is probably the largest capacity spring loaded nerf rival gun. It's pump action and the velocity / accuracy is pretty awesome. The velocity was so high that I felt like a bad parent getting one for my sons - lots of fun though.

    My son loves this nerf gun, since they came out with rival line that's all he's been asking for. This particular one is really nice because of a few things, load capacity, easy to handle and also how powerful it is. Make sure you use either the rival mask or some safety glasses when playing. They won't hurt anybody but you best off protecting your eyes.

    I bought these for christmas-my son loves anything nerf. This way with two of them he can go have a war with friends and have an extra if someone needs it. Yes nerf still stings-so have some sort of facial protection!

    If you like rival nerfs this is a must have. I won't recommend for kids under 7 and I would recommend using the rival mask or safety glasses just to protect the eyes. It's really fun and my nephews love coming over and having some nerf gun battles.

    I purchased this for my 10 year old son for Christmas. It is a great gun and we should know, we have almost every model made. This gun is well made and jamming has not been an issue once yet.
