Nerf Rival Phantom Corps Hades XVIII-6000 Blaster with Rival Ammo and Colored Flags for Ages 14+ (Amazon Exclusive)

While Nerf has been pushing the envelope with RIVAL in general with massive powerhouses like the RIVAL Nemesis and the insanely huge (and expensive) Prometheus, its great to remember than classic direct-plunger blasters arent being left behind. The Hades continues the trend set by the early Apollo blaster in this respect, but combines elements from the Artemis into a beefy, scary-looking blaster with insane capacity. At first glance, its clear the Hades means business. Its most notable feature is the triad of integrated magazines, which each hold 20 RIVAL High-Impact Rounds (or HIRs) for a total capacity of 60 rounds. Loading is done by pushing forward a magazine-cover toward the rear of the blaster and stuffing RIVAL rounds into each of the 3 magazines. Thanks to the large loading area, the Hades isnt a terrible chore to reload and the high capcacity means youll rarely be completely out of ammo in a Nerf battle assuming you pause to reload occasionally. The blaster itself is very long, with a large open trigger well akin to bullpup style blasters like the older N-Strike Elite Rayven, though of course located toward the back like a standard rifle design. The priming handle is a thick cyldinder that is easy to grip and makes a satisfying mechanical sound as it is pumped back and forth to prime rounds. Note that the Hades also has slam-fire and an integrated safety (the latter of which is common to all RIVAL blasters). Performance-wise, you can expect the same incredible power and velocity as other direct-plunger RIVAL blasters, that being consistently 90+ FPS. This is NOT a blaster for small children, as it is both very heavy and hard-hitting; eye protection should be considered mandatory when using this blaster! That being said, the Hades is incredibly fun to fire, with the aforementioned excellent priming action, massive internal capacity and a comfortable (if somewhat heavy) design. While its not particularly innovative, the Hades is structurally a very solid blaster that combines some of the best aspects of earlier RIVAL-series blasters into a satisfyingly chunky and powerful whole. A worthy addition to the RIVAL line that serves as a reminder that manually-primed, mechanical blasters are here to stay!

This nerf gun is one of the best nerf guns I ever used. This gun is very accurate. You can easily hit a target 50 feet away. The best part about this nerf blaster is its ammo capacity, you will never run out of ammo with this gun. The one problem with it is it may be to big for kids under the age of 9. I have already bought to of these nerf guns and may buy a third in the future.

60 round capacity with rival line power and accuracy what’s not to like? It’s a long blaster so maybe not for small Nerfers, but for most adult it is a great blaster.

We were surprised how big these were. My boys and husband all love taking turns with these. Super fun! Haven’t had any issues with them.

This gun is pretty reliable considering it hold so many rounds. Very few jams. The sites are non existent though and would be helpful for aiming.

Update-my son doesnt like that the bottom barrel is the one which the balls fire from, making it difficult to aim. I dont think this detracts from the toy, but wanted you to be aware. Bought this for my 14 yr old son. He loves it. Its pretty big, but not too hard to cock.

Really fun great for Nerf wars better than the darts takes a bit to reload otherwise great

This springer is good enough to compete with the flywheel guys. I find it to be pretty accurate and great for laying down suppressive fire. Pros - 60 Round capacity! Slam fire Shoulders well Cons Takes awhile to load

The packaging arrived beaten all to bits so Im glad the product was intact (I could not have given it as a gift, had I intended to do so). My son wanted a Rival non-automatic/electric so this is amazing. He loves the capacity.

Works beyond great. Never jams for grandson. Large enough ammo capacity for him to get the job done.
