Pros
Cons
Design
This is one of the most ergonomic blasters on the market. It has a very comfortable handle, which is easy to hold and maneuver. The handle has a good grip and gives you complete control over the blaster and also best for both right and left handed nerf players.
It’s designed not to hinder your ability to aim at targets. Conquer the battlefield with Nerf rival blasters. For instance, the priming slide at the blaster’s top has a good extruded angle that makes it simple to rack a round without slipping your hand.
Safety Lock
The Kronos has a safety lock on the right-hand side just above the trigger, which prevents accidental firing.
Loading Mechanism
The rival nerf pistol can hold five rounds in its internal, spring-loaded magazine. There are a few actions necessary for a reload. No batteries are needed as it is a simple pistol and act as a sidearm, your main nerf weapon can be any automatic nerf gun.
To begin, open the blaster by locating the orange door on top and flipping it open. Slide back the top of the blaster, put 5 rival rounds in it. After loading, slide it forward to its original position, and you’ll be ready to fire.
Firing Mechanism
It is not a battery powered blaster but has a spring action for firing. The only firing mode is a single shot; however, the priming handle’s effortless sliding motion makes it a breeze to load the blaster and fire a single shot.
Shooting Range
Even though it has a higher firing rate than the N-Strike series, it can shoot darts at a distance of 90 feet, which is very impressive for a pistol.
Although the effective range of the competing ammunition is greater because of its increased precision, hitting a human at 10 meters with an N-Strike blaster is fairly hit or miss, but these are far more accurate.
Accuracy
As is usually the case, the accuracy of rival rounds exceeds that of N-Strike ammunition. The iron sights and lack of stock are telltale signs that this is a handgun.
When using a spring-powered blaster, one of the drawbacks is that you have to adjust your aim downward every time you prime the weapon. Thus the rate of firing action decreases.
Ultimately, the accuracy is about as excellent as you can hope from a spring-powered handgun. Still, your Nemesis-wielding adversary won’t be bothered by it.
Variants
The breech load Rival Kronos comes in white, Red, Green, Teal and Blue colors. It has special editions like Deadpool and Phantom Corps.
