It's big, it's heavy, it shoots hard, it's expensive, and it's awesome!

Reviewed in the United States on September 9, 2021

This thing is an absolute behemoth of a blaster, even without the batteries or rounds, it weighs a LOT, adding the D batteries adds a lot more weight, so I absolutely recommend buying the Rival Rechargeable Battery Pack along with your Nemesis to decrease it's weight during firing a lot. I also recommend buying a shoulder sling or strap for this beast if you plan to carry it around!
It's an impressively designed blaster for sure, worth the hefty entry fee!

worst shopping mistake in history!

Reviewed in the United States on March 26, 2022

my boyfriend and i spent almost $400 dollars buying two of these guns with battery packs. we both work and i’m in college. when we finally got out to play Nerf wars at an event in our city. let’s say these were more than a disappointment. they shot slow. had terrible accuracy and jammed too many times to count. the button was temperamental and loud humming for at least one to two seconds to be able to shoot a ball at all. that’s when it decided to actually work. it was extremely heavy to run up and down two flights of stairs in an old hospital trying to not get shot. i was beyond disappointed. my boyfriend even resulted in using a pump action loaner off brand nerf style gun over this extreme waste of money and got better results. the icing on the cake due to having to really push this adventure into a crazy schedule we sat with these in the package for a bit. it was the very first and for sure the last time we use them. when we got onto amazon searching for the seller “ brian’s Toys”to try and return these once used nerf guns we were out of our return window so we literally threw $400 dollars out the window.

Buy the battery pack

When I first got the gun I just used regular D batteries, I was very disappointed and almost returned the gun. I wasn't able to shoot in full auto. After the first couple of balls the motors would slow down and the balls would just trickle out. Then I bought the battery pack, and what a difference it made. It provides enough power to keep the motors spinning for the full 100 ball magazine. Full auto, full power.

This thing shoots pretty hard but not so hard that you're going to break windows (hopefully). Very fun toy for young kids and teens.

Fun rapid fire battery operated gun

My daughter loves this gun! It was her favorite Christmas present. She's 7 so she struggles to cock a lot of the other spring loaded nerf rival guns. This one requires no such strength. Just press the button to spool up the firing mechanism and pull the trigger. It's able to shoot in short bursts or full automatic rapid fire mode. My daughter said the only thing she doesn't like about the gun is that since it shoots so fast she runs out of balls before the rest of us do. Haha we're shooting with various 10-15 ball rival guns. She doesn't seem to mind it but the gun is quite heavy, but as you can see not THAT heavy as my 7 year old wields it like a mini terminator. It's a bit pricy but as with anything I buy for my daughter it's worth it to see her joy and happiness.

Ball velocity: I don't have one of these https://www.amazon.com/Ballistic-Precision-Chronograph-Slingshot-Velocity/dp/B0B5ZY8M4V to measure actual velocity of the balls, but just from sight and feel this gun doesn't shoot quiet as far or as fast as a couple of our other spring loaded rival guns.

Battery life: Battery life seems pretty short. It takes 4 D cells! No wonder it's heavy right? I will probably by the rechargeable pack that nerf makes for this gun. When I do I'll put up a review of that as well. I hope someone finds this review helpful.

My ratings:
Fun factor: 5/5 but really off the charts
Accuracy: 3/5
Ball velocity: 3/5
Ease of handling: 2/5
Ease of reloading: 5/5 (open sliding drawer and dump balls in that's it)

Overall i definitely recommend this gun.

Love this nerf gun! Used it in a nerf gun fight....the regular nerf guns don't stand a chance against this one. Be sure to buy extra ammo for a quick/easy reload....this gun is automatic. To reload you just slide the lid back and pour the balls in.

I got 2 of these after my kid pulled a sneak attack on me with another nerf ball gun. Needless to say I lit him up when he got home from school.

So far this has been a reliable nerf gun to light people up my only 2 conplaints is the accurcy from less than 20 feet it drops But I guess that is expected. my other is, if this was 70 dollars it would be more worth it.

Fun but heavy, and eats batteries

My son loves this new nerf gun because it looks cool and shoots well. I often see him choosing other lighter guns though because this one is so heavy to carry around. It also goes through batteries very quickly. I would suggest getting the rechargeable battery if you are going to purchase this gun.
