    Anyone else feel the P.C. line is specifically designed to be better than the "standard" rival blasters?
    The Helios is an upgraded Apollo
    The Hera is kinda an upgraded Zeus(better reload ergonomics and can run on the rechargeable battery pack), and the upcoming Hades and Prometheus sound like they're going to be upgrades for the Artemis and the Nemesis respectively.

    • @mangothemike
      @mangothemike 4 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      Helios isn’t that much better than the Apollo. (Almost a reskin)
      Hera is directly better than the Zeus (better ergonomics and range, can use rechargable battery pack, easier magazine usage)
      Hades isn’t a successor to the Artemis, rather an alternative. (Hades being a primary, Artemis being a secondary)
      Prometheus isn’t a successor to the Nemesis. (Nemesis being easier to use, more mobility, less bulk)

    Actually, the safety on the Apollo is more traditional. The safety on the Helios is more recent. The first time a similar safety was applied was in the case of the 1911, where the button style is seen on older models of old .22lr rifles

    The push through tiger safety is very common amongst firearms and why would you try to shoulder a pistol?

The priming action is neither better or worse but I agree moving it from your line of sight makes a lot of sense.

  • @helpdeskconfessions
    @helpdeskconfessions 7 ปีที่แล้ว +7

    I like the Helios the best. The Artemis is great, but the lack of a stock makes it hard to keep steady. The Apollo hits the hardest, but it's just painful to use without a pump kit, and if you need to pay $60 to make a $17 blaster usable, it's just not worth it. The Helios has a comfortable grip, a smooth priming mechanism, and an actual stock, so that's why i like it the best.

    What I'd like to see next is a hopper-fed springer with at least a 50 round capacity. If Dartzone can create a hopper-fed springer that works with Rival ammo, it shouldn't be beyond Nerf to come up with something better.
    Another possibility is a bigger magazine that still fits the Apollo, Hera and Helios. If Nerf can do a 35 round Drum magazine for darts, I'm sure they can manage more than 12 Rival rounds in a magazine. The Zeus is effectively dead, and the 12-round magazine that was designed to fit it should no longer be the limit.

    • @ziploc2000
      @ziploc2000 7 ปีที่แล้ว

      Just seen the news on the Hades, 60 rounds springer like a bigger Artemis, and the Prometheus, 200 round hopper-fed battery-powered, both Phantom Corps designs. Did they give up on red & blue teams? This dumps my theory that Phantom Corps were deliberately limited to smaller capacity blasters to keep them as a weaker third faction.

  • @shadowsa2b
    @shadowsa2b 7 ปีที่แล้ว +5

    Helios only comes with a 7 round mag? i know its "lower profile" but that higher capacity is so much more worth it to me.
    since you were talking pistol type blasters, i feel like the Kronos should have been here too -- at least to get a mention. Apollo vs Kronos maybe, since they both need a forward prime and lack spring return
    "you could entry level into Rival with the Phantom Corps...khaos" pretty sure you meant Kronos there.
    "...if you are entering into Rival springer-ness, yous shouldnt even consider the Ares. The Ares is an awful blaster" the what? what even is the Ares? did you mean Apollo? your naming is a bit all over the place in this one

    As an owner of all 3 blasters the main disadvantage of the Artemis is the lower range, fps and accuracy. It is a dream to prime and operate no doubt. My personal favorite would be a pump grip Apollo. It has the best performance coupled with ease of use and ergonomics. Helios is great fun, there is just uniquely something satisfying about bolt action.

    Im going to brag slightly and say I got two Artemis for less than what you saw 1 listed for. There is a store in Newnan, GA called Bargain Hunt that sells damaged/open boxes and they had them for 17 each. And they actually had all the rounds still in the box. I also got my Apollo there for like $7...then I added the Worker pump kit and like it much more with the pump, even than the Artemis. But having to reload less often is pretty nice. The Helios looks good, but I think Ill pass for now. I am looking forward to finding the Khronos in stores though.

    Best springer: artimis and whatever phantom corp blaster that is like it, because I know they will, similar with red/blue and phantom corp springers, similar flywheels, and similar full auto

  • @RedMageGaming
    @RedMageGaming 7 ปีที่แล้ว

    I had an Artemis for about a day, got rid of it because it kept jamming and the priming bar felt like it was going to break every time I pulled it back. The new kronos I love as a side arm, need some kind of speedloader for it though to make it usable. I having got the chance to try the Helios yet, my target hasn't gotten them out on the sales floor yet. But hey, I finally upgraded from a Zeus to the nemesis. Going to pickup a Hera tomorrow after work with a few extra mags.

    • @ziploc2000
      @ziploc2000 7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      So far they have limited Phantom Corps blasters to 12 rounds maximum capacity, and I don't think that's a coincidence. The Phantom Corps are supposed to be the weaker middle faction that can tip the balance, but not the a major force by themselves. Of course it all depends on how you choose to play anyway.

  • @redtheIII
    @redtheIII 7 ปีที่แล้ว

    There needs to be a Rival sniper. I would be decently practical, considering the range and accuracy of Rival blasters, plus the rival rails hold the nerf scopes in place, intead of them flopping around on normal nerf rails.

    to fully even take advantage of magazine fed systems you need to invest into mags, which are more money you'd have to throw,

  • @thebravegallade731
    @thebravegallade731 6 ปีที่แล้ว

    If I was going for a single blaster, I'd go for the hera, but then again, the hera is 60.
    if you are going for the artemis, I'd opt for the hades, but again, that is 70.
    I just really like the hera.
