Rate of fire, meanwhile, averaged between 3 and 4 balls per second, depending on how well the ammo feeds. Besides being powered by a rechargeable battery that slots into the handle, it comes with a single-shot or semi-auto firing mode, remarkable range, and the ability to spit out 10 rounds per second.

It's capable of holding its own in a Nerf battle, and the presence of a tactical rail allows you to add your own scopes as well. And yes, other crossbows from Nerf (like 2014's Zombie Strike Crossfire Bow) come with a slightly greater capacity. Blending one of the most popular video games of all time with one of the most beloved toy brands, this Nerf blaster is ideal for fans of either. Several color options and tons of add-ons are available including attachments, extra mags or darts, and even a strong spring that can push the FPS up to 300! Due to the intense firing speeds, Hasbro has put an age 14+ age limit on the Hyper Series and thankfully they have been kind enough to include some eye protection with each blaster.The Mach-100 is supposed to be the flagship of the Hyper line, but it has many flaws holding it back. We recommend going the traditional epoxy/glue route for the rev switch, due to the design of the inside of the blaster grip. Fully loaded, the Hyper Mach will keep you flinging rubbery ammo for a while, but you have to really focus on how well it is feeding the balls down the line. The material is a rubbery plastic that has a lot of traction to the point where it almost feels sticky.

With the Rush-40 pistol and Mach-100 SMG in particular, their shots almost immediately curve right down to the ground, forcing you to aim much higher than your target and rain balls down. The lack of hop-up led not only to needing to angle the blaster for distant shots (unlike Rival), but also to inaccuracy.These use batteries to increase the speed at which they fire darts, allowing them to spit out ammo at a blistering pace. Having a higher ammo capacity is its strong point and does help make up for the inconsistent firing. And luckily enough for us, the Retaliator relies on Elite darts that are widely - yet cheaply - available. Packing a unique new kind of round that shatters safely on impact and leaves nothing left behind to pick up, it's an innovative design that side-steps one of the biggest problems with toys like this (finding all your darts afterward). This gun is an awesome upgrade to the extremely popular Stfye and adds more customizability and an increase in accuracy due to its longer barrel.

It’s an assault rifle blaster that includes a select-fire toggle—allowing you to swap between full-auto and semi-auto. We can, and I will complain about that, but it still has one of the highest ammo capacities of any Nerf shotgun. One drawback of this gun is that its hopper feed system is a little wanky and the rubber Hyper rounds tend to stick to each other. There are over 600 Nerf-brand blasters on the market today, and the honest truth is, only a few of them are truly powerful hell-slingers.

Some use different types of darts, ranging from classic run-of-the-mill ones to new versions that fly further. If you want to lay down lines of foam and keep your enemies bunkered down in panic and fear, an automatic, battery-powered, motorized blaster is the way to go! It has great accuracy and is relatively lightweight making it easy to run and gun, while the textured grip helps you keep the blaster steady for straight shots. Overall, I feel think you can have a good amount of fun with a Hyper blaster and think Nerf fans should give one a try. The Nerf Rival Prometheus is a beautifully designed, fully automatic monster that carries 200 High-Impact Rival Rounds, and rockets 8 rounds per second at 90 FPS—making it one of the most powerful and terrifying Nerf guns around.

Elite darts have very poor accuracy at high speeds and the tip of the waffle-head darts are slightly too large for the barrel and slow the dart down significantly.With the old Kronos, I can sometimes hit things I see in my sights, but I found little reason to aim with Hyper. blaster by Worker may not look like much, but you know what they say, “all that glitters is not gold. 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. Once you get used to it, it’s not bad, but you will have to occasionally shake the gun to help it feed correctly.
