Nerf hit the ground running with their first Nerf Rival release of 2023. The Nerf Rival Forerunner continues the trend of solid blasters in the Accu-Rival line. This series of Nerf guns is part of the "Most Accurate Rival System" or MARS, as I call it. The Nerf MARS line of blasters is supposed to be more accurate than anything before it... This is akin to the Nerf Elite AccuStrike line of Nerf guns. The Forerunner follows in the footsteps of the excellent Nerf blasters before it, like the Nerf Rival Pathfinder and the Nerf Rival Fate. It's also highly reminiscent of the Nerf Rival Takedown from a few years ago, but with a standard pistol grip instead of the sloped shotgun grip the Takedown has.
A super compact CQB style Nerf gun, the KM9 Unicorn is a high power pump-action springer blaster that resembles the real steel Intratec Tec-9 machine pistol. Made of highly durable nylon with full metal internals, the Unicorn is rock solid!
The Worker Phoenix is the Nerf MP7. It's a full auto, mag fed, submachine gun class Nerf blaster with a triple flywheel cage and 6 upgraded motors. Pop in a LiPo battery and the Phoenix can shoot its half-length darts at over 160 FPS. Wow.
This modified toy foam blaster from YouTube channel Battle Squad/PDKFilms is a highly modded and custom painted Nerf Rayven that was used in their YouTube videos. The internals have also been lightly modified so now, "it absolutely rips."
The D-Dart Pro Blaster is like a Nerf Gun that goes around your wrists. Light and compact, the D-Dart Pro can shoot 27 darts in less than a second. It's the coolest and possibly quickest Nerf gun you'll see today. Grab 2 to dual wield!
The Nerf Overwatch Soldier 76 Blaster is a fully automatic Rival blaster with a 30 round hopper. If you're a really huge Overwatch fan and you want a Nerf blaster, this is probably the most battle effective option out there right now. Nice!
The Nerf Minecraft Heartstealer Sword is a Minecraft Dungeons themed foam sword with a hidden feature: It also shoots Nerf Elite Darts! This is the perfect melee weapon for someone who likes to bring a knife to a gunfight. Surprise!
This Nerf Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Blaster is a hammer-action Nerf gun revolver with a 5 dart cylinder and a wicked awesome paintjob on both sides! Whether you like TMNT or not, you've got to admit this little pistol is very striking!
This 3rd party Nerf-inspired blaster is based on the good ol Nerf Modulus. Luckily, the Modulus is an excellent blaster. My experience with blasters like these has always been very positive. More powerful with less resistance.
The Worker Harrier is the best injection-molded spring powered blaster ever made. Period, no comma. The Harrier is a super smooth operating mag-fed springer with exceptional performance and build quality. This is an AWESOME blaster.
