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

Product Information

As for the muzzle velocity, I tested the Nemesis with both D batteries and the rechargeable power pack from NERF. All this and it fires NERF Rival high impact rounds which fire faster, around 100FPS rather than the usual 70FPS for Elite blasters and much more accuracy than NERF Elite darts. That adds to the heft of this already heavy blaster and the Rechargeable will both save you a ton of cash and lower that weight a bit. Fill the easy-loading hopper and unleash a blistering blast of rounds at a velocity of 100 feet per second (30 meters per second). If you find your Nemesis will not spin up, the first thing to check is whether the hopper door is shut.

If you’ve never played with a fully automatic blaster before, you’re in for a treat with the Nemesis. Unlike the Hyperfire, I found it did not jam as much (neither did the Khaos) so it appears the conveyor belt system is not as fussy with the spherical high impact rounds.

The other flywheel Rival, the Zeus, cannot use the rechargeable pack and so was really down compared to its big brothers, only managing 93 FPS. The Nemesis MXVII-10K is named after Nemesis, the Greek goddess who enacts vengeance on those who succumb to hubris. This is not a huge deal but it is worth noting you don’t have that really crisp response time you get with a Stryfe or spring powered blasters. This is not a blaster for the faint of heart, but if you are truly worthy of the Nerf game, you should absolutely have one of these in your armory. 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.

But the problem with those solutions, of course, is that you have to design them and build them yourself. Usually, when you hold down the trigger in full-auto the range and speed drops as the flywheel cannot keep up.

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 Nemesis is a flywheel blaster, which means has two battery-powered wheels inside which grab the balls and fling them out of the barrel. 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. This beast boasts an amazing high-capacity hopper that can hold up to 100 rounds that are not lacking in the impact department. The blaster is available in blue and red (each sold separately), so choose a color and go into battle as Team Red or Team Blue.
