Based on the speed, the weight, the diameter, and how much that disperses, you have to be under that KED number. In my opinion, this is the best of the aftermarket hop-up solutions for the Rush-40, which will improve range and probably improves mechanical accuracy. If you want something a little fancier, they do sell Hyper Face Masks in two colors for team battles. Keep in mind that anyone can view public collections - they may also appear in recommendations and other places. I have to admit he’s got a point: the first Rival blasters showed off serious potential, but their tiny magazines and terrible ergonomics were vastly improved just a couple years later.

But the primary safety mechanism was building a TPE pellet with the right squish, and the team admits that squish was a challenge for the blasters — which, remember, they had to develop simultaneously. Perhaps the biggest thing I don’t understand about Hasbro’s foam-flinging strategy is why it let this competition go unchecked, instead of building better darts itself.Nyland suggests we shouldn’t rule out other feeding mechanisms, though, pointing to just how much Nerf’s Rival line evolved since its 2015 debut, too. Some of our vintage or prior versions of toy and game instructions may be more difficult to decipher or have less clarity.

You’ll also get to reload faster thanks to large hoppers and reload canisters, sold separately, that attach to the Tactical Rails.They’re round like Nerf Rival ammo but about 1/3 of the size, which means you can fit more of the Hyper rounds into the blasters.

To make them safe, Hasbro made them squishy, and now they’re too gummy to avoid sticking on each other when they’re crammed into a hopper. Nerf brand blasters, alternative-brands, modifications, community made designs, competitive wars, Humans vs. These new Hyper rounds have an innovative design and more of a rubbery material that maximizes speed.

To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. They travel faster and don’t loft in the air quite like Rival rounds, so they’ll likely be harder to dodge, too.The Hyper rounds hit harder (I asked friends to shoot me in the face), so it’s more obvious when you’ve been tagged. Still, some Nerfers have already created 3D printed aftermarket hop-ups for the Rush-40 that seem to improve their accuracy.
