NERF Rival Helios XVIII-700 (Blue)

My pros are the bolt is so easy to pull back,accuracies is fanomanal,it has the esiest magazine release ever,plus the jam door helps when you really need it.My son love love loved this gun...are there really cons ,heck no.

This is a great blaster that shoots accurately and hard, however when I first opened this I filled the magazine and put it in the blaster, primed it back, then tried to prime it forwards. It wouldn’t budge, I thought I had broken it but it turns out that I had to prime it back a little more, which I did not expect because I’ve never had to put that much force into priming a blaster, never. It caught me off guard because I’m so used to simple easy priming on an elite dart blaster, see, this is my first rival blaster so I was expecting it to be a little tougher to prime but it was MUCH harder, my 11 year old And me can prime it ok but imagining even a 10, or 9 year old priming it, I don’t think they could do it. Yes, I get that rival is targeted toward 14+ but younger audiences still buy these products, so wait for your child to be at least in the double digits before getting this blaster or any rival blaster, besides that me and my son love it, it shoots very hard and gives you a little sting, and it shoots accurately, overall this or a nerf rival Kronos are great entry level rival blasters.

Nothing to dislike about this blaster the charging handle can be move to the right or left side of the blaster while the magazine release is ambidextrous. Ignore reviews about it jamming those are just people that don't know how to use the blaster it's all user error. When you prime it you have to let go of the priming handle it has a spring powered return. Jams happen when you try to manually return the priming handle if you're too slow or don't return it fully forward you have jammed it totally avoidable user error. Mine has never jammed when used properly.

This blaster has the accuracy and the power to be a worthy gun. The blaster is easy to use and has a easy reload. The bullets are easy to get lost though so I would buy a pack of bullets to. Overall this blaster is the best one I have ever bought and it is a very good price.

Keeps getting jammed use your money for the artemis XVII-3000 for only $5 more WAY better quality never had a jam with that one
