Nerf Rival Nemesis MXVII 10K: A Complete Review

Have you ever had the irrepressible urge to physically act out your action fantasies? Have you ever had that adrenaline rush? Well, if your answer is yes, this is absolutely for you.

The Nerf Rival nemesis MXVII 10K is a fully automatic Nerf gun with flywheel drive. And even more interesting is that it has a hopper with a capacity of about a hundred rounds. This blaster holds 2.5 times more ammo than the Khaos and other Elite Nerf Hoppers. In addition, its charge is more direct.

This device is way ahead of the game as it fires Nerf Rival high-impact ammo at around 100 FPS, 30 FPS faster than the usual Elite blasters. The accuracy is also much higher than the NERF Elite Darts. Here is a very detailed review of the Nerf Rival Nemesis with glimpses of its awesome features.

Nerf Rival Nemesis MXVII 10K Review

The Nerf Rival Nemesis MXVII-10K is a new member of the revolutionary Nerf Rival series. It’s a powerful, fully automatic, flywheel-driven blaster designed for older kids. It features a fearsome design and a huge magazine that holds up to 100 high-impact bullets.

The Nemesis also offers great performance and accuracy, as well as just enough kicks to be fun to use. It requires either 6 D batteries or one of Nerf’s new rechargeable Rival batteries (sold separately).

Key Features

These are some of the peculiarities and features that distinguish the Nerf Rival Nemesis.

• High Hit Accuracy: The accuracy of the NERF Rival High Impact ammunition is much higher than other types of ammunition. However, the Nerf Rival Nemesis is not interchangeable with other types of Nerf ammunition.
• Exquisite Firepower: First-class firepower of about 100fps.
• Ammo Capacity: Currently has the highest ammo capacity of about 100 rounds, higher than any other Nerf Gun.
• Loading: Has a drop pouch from which it can be loaded or partially loaded as needed.

Design and Ergonomics

The ergonomics of the Nerf Rival Nemesis MXVII 10k are excellent!
Weight

Unlike many other Nerf guns, this one is particularly lightweight and with a weight of about 5.2 pounds, it’s easier to carry or move around.

Grip

Compared to other Nerf blasters, the grip is similar or identical. It is easy to hold and balance the Nemesis without hurting yourself.

Every other aspect is also well structured. For example, the Nemesis is quite long compared to the Khaos Stock Nerf Gun, even though it is very slim; this makes it easier to have a comfortable grip.

It has a nice and comfortable structure from the front that makes the grip comfortable, similar to other Elite Nerf Rival blasters.

Overall

Unlike other Elite N-Strike and Flywheel blasters, the Rival blaster is aimed more at customers 14 years and older, making it more of an adult Nerf gun. Interestingly, it’s also quite comfortable for kids.

Loading

As you know, this is where all the fun begins! To load the rivals Nerf guns, you need to have access to the hopper system and the loading door.

To do this, you need to access the funnel opening at the top of the blaster and at the back of the tactical rail very close to the tail.

Now you just need to slide open the top flap, and you can load the ammunition into the blaster. This process is quite interesting because you can load over 100 bullets. It’s a pretty simple loading funnel system if you know how to use it.

With these bullets loaded, you get more than 100 shots with massive effects. When loading, you have to shake the blaster a bit to make the bullets fall into the hopper.

This is more fun overall and less stressful than loading a real magazine. When you are done loading your hopper, you should close the door. Closing the door will help you when you rev up the blaster.

Firing

Like many flywheel blasters, the Nemesis has another trigger on the handle to power the flywheels. Again, you have to rev up the blaster for a while before pulling the trigger.

This spins the blaster for a brief moment and gives you a really powerful shot. If the Nemesis blaster does not respond, you should open the door of the hopper and check that it is closed from the exit of the dart blaster.

If it is, you can move on. Another part that can affect the rotation is the fuse on both sides. You should also check that the setting of the hopper door does not affect your Nerf Darts.

Like many other Nerf guns like the Hyperfire, the Nemesis blasters use a conveyor belt system rather than a pusher arm system to deliver the darts to the flywheels. This system gives it a decent firing capacity with a high muzzle velocity.

Aiming accuracy

Another exciting aspect of the Nerf Rival Nemesis is its accuracy. Its accuracy is quite higher than almost all other elite darts.

For example, targets beyond 20m are out of reach for most elite darts, but not for the Rival Nemesis.

With more suitable spherical Rival cartridges, the Rival range is increased and the Nemesis offers the best experience.

Range

The range is an issue, as it is less than you would like, especially when the firing speed is higher than other elite blasters.

Since the High Impact cartridges are smaller than the darts of N-Strike blasters, the Impact cartridges usually run out of steam before they reach the expected range.

So you have to be close to the target most of the time. Besides, the muzzle velocity of the Nemesis is pretty much identical to that of the Khaos, even though it depends entirely on the battery used.

With D batteries you can achieve about 95 FPS and with the rechargeable pack about 101 FPS. The possibility to use different batteries is a good thing.

Rechargeable batteries, for example, cannot be used by blasters like Zeus.

Pros and Cons

Below are some of the key advantages and setbacks regarding the Nemesis blasters. 

Pros

• Has a 100-round hopper system.
• It is fast and easy to reload.
• High firepower of over 100 FPS (The elite average is about FPS)

Cons
