![[VS] Nerf Heavy Gunner Showdown | Which Support Blaster is Best?!](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/_RNck4ajpSc/mqdefault.jpg)
"Hey, I'm looking for a pistol kind of Rival, you got any sugge-"
Coop: "Kronos."
"Ok, but what abou-"
Coop: "Shhhhhhh......Get. A. Kronos."
Frank, ive been watching your channel ever since i was like 8. Its nice to see that your channel is still growing and having the same charm i loved all those years ago. Nerf was my childhood.
My Saturn is my favorite blaster that I own. Reliability, comfort, and accuracy are the most important traits for me, and a traditional looking rival shotgun fills all those criteria perfectly.
I also own the Saturn its a fun blasten to use. i got mine on sale for alittle over $20
I personally don't really like mine, are you guys Saturn's unmodded? I hate the stock it's so flat and short
@@TankyFisherman i usually dont mod Nerf guns most moddin id do is probably a paint job
@@platnumring7568 oh cool
@@TankyFisherman yeah but i havent been able to get paint i wanna try and go for like a flame design for my Saturn
Finally an updated rival overview
Fr lol I been waiting lmfao
Nerf pfp i love it!
Yes.
Yes
Irk. Finally
in my opinion the Hades is one of the best for it's value. also very competitive
not to mention it looks amazing. by far my favorite Rival blaster, in close second the Chronos and third the Pilot because of the sheer moding potential, and it's a very effective emergency backup if you shotgun load it.
i think the Perses is better.
@@aimeeseares4777ofc any flywherler with a big ammo capacity and high fr is better than any springer but as a springer primary u can’t go wrong with the hades
I know and am fully aware that the Takedown is not the most battle-effective blaster, but hey, it was on clearance sale for a really large discount and I wanted a Rival blaster to use. Did also add some speedloaders to make it slightly more battle effective (it also helps that the HvZ games in my area don't have as much emphasis on having the absolute best blasters).
Probably my favorite blaster in the line. At the end of the day, comfort and fun are what matter to me most in the hobby, and the Takedown nails both IMO.
The Takedown is a good introduction blaster, if you already have better blaster (like the the Artemis) there's no good reason to buy it but if it's the first rival blaster you have it is a fun one
I have a soft spot for it because it is also my first Nerf blaster
I added a red dot and strap to mine and it looks so clean
I’m just starting to get back into nerf as an adult after being semi into it as a kid, and this channel has been my go to before purchasing a blaster. Not only that, it taught me that flywheel powered blasters can be just as fun as spring powered blasters.
I was a stickler for spring powered blasters for a long time because “that’s what I grew up with *old man sounds*” but now that I own a Hera my opinion has changed.
Flywheel really does seem like the master race.
literally only downside of flywheelers is that they take batteries and that they’re noisy
I accept and acknowledge that for battle effectiveness, flywheel is best, but I still prefer springers . I play very infrequently so when the time does come that I want to mess around with my nerf collection, it's nice to have a blaster that is always ready to function, no batteries required.
also these are some of my favorite vids on youtube. period. And i know if im intrigued on a certain blaster i can find ur longer vid and enjoy it just as much
It's sad that the Nemesis isn't in the top picks anymore. I remember when it was Frank's favourite blaster. Nostalgia!
Ive had an incredibly horrible day so far, but once i saw this video release i knew this would make up for my mood. Dont stop, Coop!
I absolutely love the consistent naming scheme for the Rival blasters - An M denotes flywheel-powered, the following numerals are for the release year (minus 2000), and the final number is for the provided round count (multiplied by 100). I can be like "oh wow the nemesis was released in 2017? That feels like it's so much less time than it actually was."
Come for Coop Raving about Rival, Stay for Coop Mentioning BALLLLZZZZZZ.
Always Appreciate the Content Coop! Keep Up the Amazing Work!
Realistically we’re never getting anything as astounding as this series was from Hasbro again.
i love the little intro and outro tune, 'stay tacticool' phrase and your general humour - thanks for being such a great UA-camr 😊
I’m glad this was just recently posted up. Rival is an awesome line and we definitely need more of it from the “mothership” or from community designs.!
I definitely like the Perses as a primary, the Kronos as a sidearm, and the Fate as a single-shot plinker (priming the Apollo and the Knockout were hard on my wrist). I liked where they were going with the Finisher making it so kuch easier to reload over the Kronos (even with the third-party speedloaders), but the mag well being so far forward made it hard to holster and I guess they never felt the need to revisit it since the Kronos was still selling well.
I just recently got back into Nerf, and your channel is really bringing back a lot of nostalgia. Love the Content, keep it up!
Notice how he doesn’t have any unmodified Perses in the studio. Perses, a great blaster that only gets better.
It would be cool to see the year these were released alongside the name of the blaster. I know it’s specific to updated videos but it’s cool to see how Nerf has progressed with a rough timeline. Thanks Frank!
The year is actually in the name of the blaster. The Nemesis, for example has "XVII" in the name. That is the Roman numeral for 17, indicating that the blaster was released in 2017.
Hera is the best semi auto blaster in the rival series.
I mainly buy 2nd hand elite-type blasters to play with my nephews, but I have been thinking of getting a couple of rival blasters. I don't 'battle' so it's great to see a list not just of top picks, but that pretty much all of them have something cool or fun about them. Got to say I like springers, and that Artemis looks very interesting...
Try going to your local thrift store, I've seen rival blasters for super cheap there.
My favorite rival blaster I own is my modded helios with a worker pump kit, it has plenty of power and has a great form factor, and it has saved my life at many HVZ games.
since the perses came out my loadout has remained the same. Prometheus primary, covered in dump pouches for reloading, sidearm is a Herrrra with a few extra mags, Perses is my corner clearing weapon and is also good for running around faster. I don't use springers because A)flywheel master race and B)stealth isn't important for a heavy gunner.
Fantastic video! I couldn't have thought of a more interesting topic. Also a huge rival fan!
I've had my Apollo since 2017, back when i was ten, and boy was it hard to prime back then
Rival is my favorite line
Glad you updated your series overview 👍
Rival is easily my favorite line...... and those 150 half length shots won't kill you😂. Just be safe about it and move quickly.
“Even if you have sweaty palms you can still slam on this all day” 😂
Excellent to see a new Rival video Coop. I agree with your picks!
Nice vid coop! 👍
nice, i was kinda waiting for this. also great vid.
Artemis with stock attachment point and shotty grip is dope. Better than the Hades I'd say but I like compact blasters a lot.
Such an amazing overview video!! Thanks for all your hard work!
Rival is one of nerfs best lines, i really hope they keep expanding and developing in it, it has good potential.
since I found this channel I was hoping this video would come out, thanks!
Don't forget the amazing mod support for the Kronos in particular! I seem to recall a video where you gave one a loading funnel, speedloaders, a magnetic holster, and a spring upgrade.
Its upsetting we never got another hopper rival blaster
Glad to see after all these years, Coop still hasn’t brushed up on his Greek mythology for the rival series naming lol
We'll all let that expanded hopper slide as a fellow flywheel master race guy Frank - thanks again for a good reminder how and why Rival is still very relevant and so much fun to battle with.
Great video!
Coop! I love your channel!
Let's go, an updated list! This will be good as always
Coop’s been on a roll with these updated overviews
I WAS WAITING FOR THIS!!!
Two upsides of the Khaos (aside from the usually lower price point): near-instant reloads with multiple mags, and an always-consistent stream of shots. My Perses struggled to fire at even a slight angle due to the feeding mech, same for other hopper-fed blasters. The fire rate is slower, yes, but your shots always come out when you expect them to.
loving this series!
So happy to see the Perseus hopper extension is on the list. In my opinion it is easily the best blaster and the most fun to use.
Not mentioned about the Artemis and Hades is that its really easy to top off the internal magazines while in-field.
Can't wait for the Pilot to finally be available in stores in france where I live, it looks like a fun small target shooter.
IVE BEEN WAITING ALL WEEK! THANK YOU
I actually bought 4 perses(es?) with the modded mag for family entertainment after watching your review a couple of years ago. I feel that those are all the Nerf foam flingers I would ever need. Of course, that sentiment didn't age well. I bought 4 Nerf Hyper Rush 40 for side arms after watching your review, but I don't think we have used them enough to justify the purchase. At the end of the day, if you can't shoot your target with 200+ rounds, the Rush isn't going to do much.
I also saw your review of the Out of Darts Proton Pack… I actually was going to get 8 of them and make 4 custom backpacks for dual-wielding with over 2000 rounds capacity, until my wife showed her discontent (I barely justified the 4 perses(es) and she already wasn't happy about the Rushes). If I actually did that, it would be any Nerfer's wet dream comes true.
Thanks Coop, I’ve been watching for at least 4 years now
Yoooo I’ve been waiting for this for a long time!!!
Hey coop! Loving this recent burst of series overview vids, they're my favourites of yours. With there having been a number of Nerf LMTD blasters now, maybe it'd be worth a series overview too when the next couple (the Star Trek ones and the Jinx one) come out? Just a thought! Thanks bro!
Ooooh that is a beautiful perses! :P
I love mine - definitely will buy that extension for more ball capacity!
Love your vids!
I’m not a big fan of shooting foam balls instead of darts but they are cool! Nerf and Lego is my childhood
Can’t agree more
Genuinely surprised the nemisis didn't make the top picks 😢
These updated series overviews are epic, you should make an elite series overview next
I was just watching one of your videos and you just uploaded something lol
Wohoo updated 🎉🎉🎉
YES THANK YOU
It would be really cool if you made a top picks kind of video about 150fps short dart blasters!
Literally watched the old one yesterday and now this one is finally here
wow ur really listening to my comments, i asked for an updated rival series overview on a pilot review and he actaully did it! Thanks!
Coops overviews are always so entertaining! But I think it would be cool if he made an honorable mentions list tho
Very excited that he’s updating all of the series :D
The best line gettin an update?? LET'S GOO
(in my opinion of course, Modulus is pretty awesome too)
sold my lipo modified perces to afford a vr headset, and even though i used to own a nemesis and kinda wanted the super capacity without a large 3d printed extension but the perces with nothing but a lipo wire hosed rounds out like a laser pointer
Another great video by a great content creator keep it up man :]
I remember way back when we had to learn all the greek gods, so I figured I'd put how to pronounce them cause they're pretty confusing
hypnos: hip-nohs
apollo: uh-paul-oh
helios: he-lee-ohs
atlas: at-lass
artemis: art-ehm-iss
hades: hate-ees
zeus: zooss
hera: hair-uh
perses: purse-ees
prometheus: pro-mee-thee-uhs
heracles: hair-uh-klees
mercury: mer-cure-ee
kronos: chrono;s
Epic video Coop 👍
Very cool!
Love your work, Frank
awesome videos! first ultra then elite 2.0 now rival! keep making these videos they are really good
The rival series are my absolute favorite line of blasters to play with. They are awesome
❤❤❤keep up the great work ❤😊😮😂
Hi love you’re videos
Well, I think it’s funny about the flex is that the flex has like a weird hand guard that looks like someone to come out of a knuckle
Do you actually still play around with blasters?
Most people who turn their hobby into a career usually end up hating their job and no longer having a hobby
It's quite nice to hear that you still have fun with blasters
Another awesome video
Love the overview series
Let’s go, an updated Rival video!
my experience with the helios is it jams a lot.But i did bye it from a fie market.over all i still like nerf!
I may add the you could use the atlas without a magazine, so you could have a better capacity. Drop the rounds in like the helix
This reminded me that I still need to pick up a Saturn at some point, but man, I forgot how many blasters the series has. Given that they have the 'accu-strike' series, and Hyper was DOA, I hope they keep going with Rival - Even if it's just re-shells. It's the closest they'll probably ever get to a "pro" line, so they should keep it going.
Rival has always been my favourite Nerf series. I always wish I'd gotten a Saturn though.
Just got home from a Nerf event, brought my Perses. Absolute annihilation
I have a question, are you planning on reviewing the double punch? Its a awesome gun and i think you definitely should!
They really need more rival blasters
Can Coop772 do a series overview update of the N-Strike Elite line?
It’s already dead, and the last one alredy covered all of them
The Hades is probably my favorite one, especially because of how beefy (compared to most) it is
Finally updated
I am giving you a like for the pure time you put into this video.
Coop 3 years ago,”The Rival Nemisis is my favorite blaster.” Coop now,”Doesn’t’ even put the Nemisis in his top picks for the updated Nerf Rival overview and top picks.”
Ah cool. I don’t think we can get rival in Australia without buying online. But now I know which ones to look for. Your top picks are the ones I was looking at. I’d go roundhouse personally cos it’s one of those load once and good to go blasters. Thanks for the vid bud 😎
Coop, you have so many cool blasters and so many cool attachments like the pico blooper and the herjia (think I spelled it right) we would love to see an update to your gear and loadout like when your Flywheel loadout, your springer loadout, and your rival loadout, we would love to see how you customized your gear to your play style and see your cool setups, just a quick thought love your content :)
Been watching this dude for what seems like my whole life
You now it's a good day when frank post
The Prometheus is indescribably fun to play with, just saying
I love my Hades! Its the only Rival blaster I have but I'll probably cop the Kronos next.
