This thing has some power! Its extremely accurate at long range too! When I unboxed I was thinking it was broken but the first as the slide wouldn't go all the way back and the trigger wouldn't fire as a result. It turns out the slide mechanism takes a bit of extra force the first few times (noticeable scuffs on the plastic as a result). After that it is easy to use and works well.

A big gun that holds only 5 bullets at a time. It’s a powerful nerf pistol and pretty accurate. The kids will love it. The bad side about the gun is the ammo compartment and it’s loud when it’s fired. It’s a great pistol.

I like it alot. Especially after modifying it with a k26 spring. Now it shoots even harder and farther. The accuracy is still pretty pin point. It's great even unmoddified, safer that's for sure, and easier to set the trigger.

This nerf is better than the darts, be sure to buy a lot more ammo. You will lose the balls.
Very durable as expected by Nerf. Pretty accurate indoors. Outdoors, varies on weather conditions.
Fun nonetheless, get your kids outside n away from electronics.

Bought this because it looked fun to use. The projectile speed wasn't as fast as I hoped others were saying about it, though it does shoot faster than regular Nerf darts. Gun is big and unwieldy for people with smaller hands. Sometimes it was difficult to get the round in the chamber and the lever mechanism got stuck a few times.

It’s a Nerf Pistol. Fires pretty accurately too. I bought a few nerf rival guns for this Quarantine, some new some off eBay. These things are great. My smallest minion has a problem with this. Battery powered (rechargeable) is the way to go. Oh and eye pro. Make sure you all wear them. These things fly.

These are a lot of fun. The soft balls shoot out at high velocity and go far. I bought it for my 9 and 11 year old boys and the force was a little intimidating. I would recommend for 13+ and definitely would recommend face gear for protection.

Loved the accuracy of your system. Said both locations had 1 left. I ordered and within the hour picked up both Need Rival guns. Other stores were sold out but thanks to your accurate ordering system I was able to order and play the same day! Thank you!

Love these weapons. Little short on ammo but quick reload and best accuracy and FPS that I've dealt with so far. Also one of the cheapest entries into the Rival world.

This is a major upgrade from the nerf darts. These balls are a bit more "ouch-ies" than the darts. It is much more enjoyable to play with these.

My son and I love to play nerf wars. This blaster is pretty strong. It’s always the smaller nerf tubs that carries the bigger blasts.
