Nerf Rival Nemesis MXVII-10K, Blue (Amazon Exclusive)

Product Information

Review of the Nerf Rival Nemesis, a powerful, full-automatic blaster with a large magazine, excellent performance, and intimidating looks.

But it’s worth pointing out that you do sometimes need to shake the blaster a bit to allow the rounds to be sucked into the funnel.When you combine that with its 100-round capacity and fully automatic firing, the Nemesis is a seriously mean machine. That's more than double the capacity of the previous heavy-support blaster— the Nerf Rival Khaos—which can only hold some 40 rounds in its monster magazines. The firing mechanism is similar to the Khaos and Hyperfire in that it uses a conveyor belt system to deliver the darts to the flywheels rather than the pusher arm used in earlier NERF blasters like the RapidStrike.

As with all flywheelers you have to rev the blaster for a moment to spin up the flywheels before pulling the trigger or you get a very weak shot.I complained about the size of Khaos mags, so carrying these would be even worse, plus you can already load it quickly from dump pouches which mean you can carry much more ammo with you anyway.

All three triggers (acceleration, primary, and lock) are located nice and close to one another, and the overall action is smooth and easy. The Nemesis uses the same conveyor belt feeding system as the other Rival blasters, the Perses and the Prometheus, to pull rounds from the hopper into the barrel to shoot. Here, revealed exclusively to Popular Mechanics, is the newest blaster in Nerf's Rival line: a freakishly fun full-auto blaster with a giant hopper for nearly endless ammo. As you would expect, the results were almost identical to the Khaos, which essentially shares the same flywheel mechanism.With D batteries I managed an average of 94 FPS, which is pretty good, but the rechargeable pack chalked up an average muzzle velocity of 101FPS. Because if you have 100 rounds to play with, of course, at least one of them will hit your target, right?

I believe the plastic make up of this product makes it fragile in nature, at what this product costs, I feel it should be made of a more durable material. As for the muzzle velocity, I tested the Nemesis with both D batteries and the rechargeable power pack from NERF. Fill the easy-loading hopper and unleash a blistering blast of rounds at a velocity of 100 feet per second (30 meters per second).ThisIsWhyImBroke is reader supported, some products displayed may earn us a commission if you purchase through our links. Overall this is pretty rare, but it must be said that it does jam slightly more than the Khaos, but nowhere near as often as the HyperFire.
