Darts vs Rival Rounds Compared

Disclaimer: Accustrike isn't good in brass, the tips rub and create friction. I don't currently own any elite darts to test, but results would be similar to the Worker Stefans, just not as tightly grouped.

[@BradleyPhillipsYT]

This is a more recent replication of this same test if people still find this video. th-cam.com/video/_2u4BaNjngQ/w-d-xo.html

Rivals would bounce/roll after landing too won't they? I mean in the range test, they'll give you a longer reading after rolling.

[@bruhmoment595]

I prefer the rival rounds because usually my nerf darts get ruined very fast unlike my rival rounds which i have not ruined a single one. But then again rival rounds are easy to lose ( because when they are shot they bounce everywhere ) so I guess they both have their pros and cons

[@adonisavington6533]

Between the Rivals Rounds and the Darts... which one will the decelerate the least? I have a Rival Nemesis and I feel like the Rival Rounds start to slow down considerable after like 45ft.

[@WilReiner]

What a difference! The Stephans are so much more accurate ! when you did that tree test it really proves how good they are.

[@Octavio-mk5mv]

balls:
+cheaper (in most cases) cause of manufacturing metods
+faster rate of firing cause they are small thus perfect for belt feeding systems for flyweels
+more easy to reload
+can be hoper feed
+more durable
-they have a wider spread
-more surface area that is frictioning against air slowing the projectile
-need more complex magazines geometries (important in designing procces)
-not dense as darts and there for more suceptible to wind
Stabilizing method= hop up/back-spin depending on how and where you play can be very good or a disadvantage
dart:
+aerodinamic desing (behaves more or less like an arrow)
+better performance (high velocity and long range)
+very good on flyweels (have a higher contact area)
+good on breach sistems (the cilinder shape minimizes air leak)
+more options (worker gen3,banboos,adventure force pro, accufakes, AF wafles, fvj, zuru, etc)
+ consolied base (aftermarket mods, blasters, mag sistems and 3d printed blasters everywhere)
-more expensive
-takes time to reloas mags
stabilazing method: self stabilaze but can have a second stabilization method like rifled barels or canted flyweels

Great comparison.

Any internal mods to the cyclone shock

[@Igzilee]

These are also worker stefans, which are superior to elite darts, would be better if you just bought some of them. Not all of us have accustrike or the worker stefans.

[@BradleyPhillipsYT]

Igzilee, maybe you could get some Worker darts? Not everyone has Rival either.

[@Igzilee]

True, but I bet more people know of rival than worker darts. I'm just saying it would be nice if you did a review of elite darts vs rival, i just didnt write it properly, my fault.. Sorry for all the hate I was giving you, just was triggered because normally people prefer rival to regular nerf blasters. My first instinct, besides, I hadn't had my coffee. Please forgive me.

[@BradleyPhillipsYT]

That's ok. I did this video to show people Worker darts are better since not as many people know about them. Yes Rival beats Elite darts but no one really uses Elite darts at competitive games.

[@OwlskiTV]

I'm not really into the nerf hobby, but this comparison comes across as biased/pre-judgmental.
While there'll always be some bias due to personal choice, I couldn't shake the feeling of how judgmental (almost mockingly) you were towards the competitor.
Whereas a comparison should be done through a more neutral scope, imo.

[@squirts1]

Most likely rival deviation is a result of hop up tab and you not holding the blaster perfectly level.

[@albertweedsteinthethuggeni7797]

I think the rival is not made for adult hobbyists. It's marketed as 14+

[@xeno3570]

Great

[@t3233226]

基本的にはRIVAL弾だよ、ダーツにはHOPUPがかけられないという致命的な欠点があるからね、
飛距離を稼ぐにはひたすらパワーを上げていくしかない、
RIVAL自体がHOPUP機構を含めまだ熟成されていないから本来のポテンシャルを発揮していないが、
エアソフトガンの様に熟成していけばいずれダーツは廃れる、
上位機種であるエアソフトガンのBB弾が何で何十年も丸いままなのか、性能的に丸いのがベストだから丸いんだよ。

How the shit did you get a rival here in Aus and not get into trouble for it?

[@BradleyPhillipsYT]

Mephiston, it's perfectly legal to order online like eBay etc. from overseas. The only illegal part is selling it in a toy store due to the velocity. You can still use it...

I think rival is more for teens cuz it’s higher in performance

[@BradleyPhillipsYT]

Who told you that?

[@Bean41]

Never got on the rival bandwagon. Just don’t get it.

[@BradleyPhillipsYT]

Bean 41, lol this was one of my first videos. Still don't like Rival myself but I got my girlfriend a Nemesis to use so she doesn't have to carry mags.

[@joeofdoom]

You can do things with Rival that you just cant do with with darts see Captain Xaviers Tyr or OutOfDarts Proton pack.

[@BradleyPhillipsYT]

Yes you can have almost limitless ammo capacity but is that needed when you have more accurate shots with a half length dart?

[@Bean41]

Bradley Phillips my thoughts exactly

[@joeofdoom]

Yes depending on your typical engagement range, the amount of cover on the field , game length, how you play as a team and the rules of the game like if blaster hits count or not. Also reloading magazines can be a pain with darts with Rival its getting to the point where you just shovel them in and go and some people like the convenience of that, half length darts are great but they arent a perfect one size fits all system.
