NERF RIVAL was presumed dead after the advent of NERF Hyper, a similar type of ammo that seemed superior in every way while doing what NERF RIVAL already did...but that isn't the case! Meet the NERF RIVAL FATE XXII-100, a new blaster for 2022 that includes a bunch of new changes that are supposed to fundamentally change the RIVAL line, and includes the new NERF RIVAL, "Accu Rounds" or Rival Accustrike rounds that claim to be way more accurate. We'll see about that, because I'm going to test that thoroughly in this video!

This "Accu" series seems to be the next evolutionary step from the Edge series - a line that was already marketed to be the most accurate rival. Hence, it makes sense that these blasters get great accuracy, even with old fashioned rival rounds. What I am wondering is if the new accu-rounds improve the performance of older rival blasters at all.

Those blue balls (giggidy) from your discription anyway seem closer to the x shot chaos rounds. The smooth barreling in these new ones along with having good sights look to at the very least not hurting the accuracy. The barrels of my Hades definitely have too much going on, and the cylindrical shape along with it's vertical grip can lead to it being held less than perfectly level... Which is what I have always attributed to it's off centre shots when compared to other rival blasters like the Roundhouse.

I've watched 5 or 6 of your videos tonight and I subscribed because I like how you approach these reviews and such. However, I think there's a huge flaw in your testing method for this one. Correct me if I'm wrong, but you don't seem to be accounting for the increased accuracy/better grouping you will naturally get the more you practice in that session of testing. In other words, since you fired the blue ammo first, and then the yellow ammo, your increased accuracy with the latter could just be the result of having 10 rounds of practice with this blaster that you didn't have with the blue ammo. In the future for this kinda test comparing ammo I'd recommend switching back and forth more (so like 5 blue, 5 yellow, 5 blue, 5 yellow, 5 blue, 5 yellow) so there's a bigger sample size to draw conclusions from. And maybe have 2 targets set up, one for each ammo type? I dunno how expensive those targets are so that might not be worth it haha, but it might make each ammo's performance easier to track. Just my thoughts as a life-long but very casual Nerf enthusiast🖤
@WalcomS7 2 жыл бұрын
The thought did cross my mind and I wish between tests I would have swapped the order, but repeating it since then (and knowing I'm doing another video anyways), I still haven't come to a clear conclusion that these are superior in terms of accuracy (and I feel the outside flight path/range tests corroborate that). In the follow up video, I'm going to include data points from other shooters as well. I just need a break from Rival for a while.
@quantumx6354 2 жыл бұрын
The reason that Hasbro does not just switch completely over to the Accustrike line is because the Accustike darts cant shoot as far. Also, with having more lines Hasbro makes more profit off their blasters(*main reason) It would be cool if nerf made a Accustrike line (possibly rival?) that would shoot just as far but also remain as accurate as the current Accustrike darts. Although considering the profit Hasbro gets that is not very likely to happen.
