Note for modders: you can safely remove the the priming lock and release (same piece of plastic) and maintain the priming indicator. I did to my deadpool one. Also, you can squish in a 6th round with a slight amount of effort; or put another one in after the innitial prime to shotgun the first shot and still have 4 rounds left instead of 3.
My first rival gun. I have a tier 1 rapid strike, so I'll never need another primary. But I did need a really good secondary, accurate and as high powered as the rapidstrike. This compact, easy to top off, accurate (due to the rival rounds) pistol fits that role perfectly
SuperNova. My first rival gun was the helios. And it's great. And its my new primary. My previous primary was the roughcut 2x4. And I would still use it.
You've been a huge inspiration to me. You got me back into nerf because I used to hate it. Your vids showed me that nerf is very fun, competitive, and most importantly, Tacti-Cool!
These reviews are excellent! I have a son entering the Nerf world and I know nothing about these guns. These reviews are invaluable to educate me as to how they work,, if they require batteries, if they’re pump, pull or motor driven, etc. I really appreciate these. Keep up the excellent work.
First I had Artemis, then Hera, and today I got the Kronos and once it got broken in it is very pleasant to use and surprisingly accurate for a foam ball pistol!
This blaster looks really cool to me (prefer the red). It has a Robocop gun look to it. It compares mostly (in dart counterpart) to the Strongarm. A major benefit to it being Rival is that you can stuff the ammo in your pockets and wont get damaged and you do not have to be gentle loading the ammo so you load much faster over a Strongarm. Those 2 factors make this blaster able to be a semi primary because you can top off in 3 seconds or less. But the question would be is it worth switching from Rival ammo to dart ammo if you already have many dart ammo blasters. Hmmm. Do a vs of this and the Strongarm.
Hi Frank, I just bought the Kronos XVIII-500, it's super fun! Your channel is great! Is nerfing is your full time job? Anyway, keep it up! You're great!
Hey, is the rival Kronos worth to buy? I want To start my nerfer career with 3 good guns and I have 1 and its the Modulus Regulator. Now im looking for a pistol/Sidearm.
Mr. Lazy maybe the Nerf Fortnite SP L. I know its Fortnite but it’s actually really good for a sidearm. Or the Nerf Rival Kronos. Hope this helps and they are both $20
I would like to see a Nerf Rival load out video, particularly how you carry and manage Rival mags. I would also like to see a ammo comparison of the Rival/Headshot vs. the Adventure Force ammo.
The Kronos was the first Nerf gun I've had since I was a child. I was so impressed with the performance of it that it started an avalanche of Rival purchases.. gotta say nerf has really stepped it up these past few years. Wish I knew about these rivals when they came out lol
@@Sebastian-fg8wc Did you read what I said? I stated that the Kronos was the first nerf gun I've had SINCE I was a child, that was many years ago. As in I haven't had one in many years....
Modern Flight yes mate rival needs to do this it'll be an awesome addition to the rival line. They should make a 50cal or 308 sized rifle and they should do a semi auto blowback system to introduce recoil.
The only 2 rival blasters we need know is a sniper (doesn’t even need to shoot harder, just something that looks like a sniper) and a stryfe like rival blaster, the Zeus didn’t really hit the bar, everyone immediately made it hopper fed and the reloading on the stock version was difficult
This is how nerf made the Kronos "Hey, let's make a call back weapon from a series that doesn't get as much attention as it used to!" MEGA? Perfect! Let's remake the mega magnus but as a rival gun!!
Thanks for the review Coop, I’ve been looking for a higher performance sidearm to replace my strong arm after trying all types of darts it didn’t feel right for me, so I am going to switch to Rival because I think the higher velocity and more reliable ammo will be great for me!
Team red is definitely trash, but blue is only just acceptable since there's no team green. Honestly the Orange vs Green from the original dart tag was great and they should go back to that.
Can you do a comparison in performance between precompressed springs compared to non-precompressed ? I've never been very convinced that precompressing does anything, but I've never really tested it either because I don't have a chronograph or large indoor spaces to test ranges reliably. My logic behind why I am doubtful about whether or not precompressing does anything, is the fact that the formula for potential energy stored in a spring is PE = 0.5 * K * X^2. Which is easy to derive from the formula for force applied by a spring : F = K * X and then integrating that force with respect to distance, X, which results in X "becoming" 0.5 * X^2 by use of the integration power rule. One reason why pre compressing could maybe do something would be if the initial higher force is more beneficial, if the dart were to lose "air seal" as it leaves the breach. So long story short, can you test this? Lel thanks.
Hey Coop772! I thought of a NERF STEREOTYPE Soldier: WEAPONS Tri-Strike Missile Launcher Attachments together Demolisher ThunderBlast Only uses Guns that shoot missiles
I like how pretty much all the Rival blasters don't come with extra ammo, unlike many normal dart blasters. Hasbro really wants the buyer to spend more money just for ammo xD
i've recently bought a kronos (arrived today for a matter of fact) and i was really happy when i opened the box as i was getting out of my school uniform. it was bigger than exspected, but still really comfortable. also, you know something is good when my dad likes it. ( he's knida hard to please). and the colour if you asked is blue because team blue for life breh. it's wos really worth the money. also, really love the videos your videos, keep up the good work.
THIS is a great Rival introduction. The Apollo SUCKS and for the same price this looks like a "gun" and isnt weird like the Helios or Apollo. And to give it to normal dart nerfers the slide to prime is basically any Maverick or Disruptor or Strongarm or Cycloneshock. Its all intuitive and definitely converted me to the Rival line stereotype oh yea !
The other Nerf guns are not jolt reskins, he was editing the reskin videos very well because a jolt wouldn't fit in a nerf gun because of the mechanism
This is the best Rival Blaster ever, it's stupidly accurate and stupidly cheap. To test the accuracy, I used my shed's sliding doors to make a gap only as big as the Blasters muzzle, I stood about 25ft away, pointed the blaster and on the 3rd shot, it went in, the first 2 were very close too

That's not true rival still has one more gap to fill in : A Rival Sniper Rifle
Watch his comment on that on his second channel
Well ya... but that wont be that efficient and it would be more tactic-cool rather than tactical. So i dont see a point in them making one.

Team Blue: gentle throwing
When he surrounding the white Kronos with all of the Deadpool versions it looked like those movie scenes where the character is surrounded.🙂

Why does this guy not have millions of subs?
Because some people think nerf is for dweebs
I just buy the Rival Chronos thanks to this video and it is the best Nerf blaster I ever have. Thanks Frank.
A year and a half later and look how much impact that little blaster has had on the game, market and community.
I badly want one for christmas
Extremely helpful. Figured out the priming trigger was broken after Coop772 demonstrated it. Keep making videos.
Holy Tactics Coop, I've never been so early to a video
Ooooooh god the intro brings back so many memories
I literally just got the Kronos phantom yesterday.
Nice I am buying it today.
Jesus, you make this info so easy and fluid. Thank you.
I'm just dying for someone to come up with a stripper clip for the Kronos. That would be amazing for this blaster!
TheSinglePlayer would be amazing...
eeew, that would ruin the whole form factor
If you look on etsy you can buy some for 13cad
I decided to buy this because you review seems very accurate
10 outta 10 would bang.
You know like how a gun goes bang when you shoot it?
It's funny laugh.
Unknown Scientist hahaha 🤨
It finally makes sense! :D
We all enjoy humer, humer is funny
Are you actually misspelling humor, humer?
Laugh
I went with the Deadpool package (obviously) but for practical purposes you only need one Kronos so the Phantom Corp at a lower price point is nice.
New rival nerf and Mega Accustrike and infinus coming soon
I was able tu buy a blue kronos today for 2.50 bucks, totally worth it!

Soldier:
WEAPONS
Tri-Strike Missile Launcher Attachments together

Or a 6 Mag. Either one
