Don't forget that you don't need to thumb rounds into your Rival mags; they're designed so you can put rounds on a table and, holding the mag upside-down, push the mag on top of the rounds on the table to load 'em up quickly. Hasbro put up a video with one of the Rival designer dudes and he explained that. I wouldn't have thought of it otherwise.
I've tried this along with the Apollo and honestly I like the Apollo better... as a pistol/secondary. I got the Helios expecting it to feel like a pistol but with a return spring, however the weight of it and the weight distribution made holding it like a pistol feel awkward. I think the Helios satisfies the springer-primary option, and the Apollo satisfies the pistol-secondary option.
I appreciate the video review, it was because of your review that i went out and bought a helios. I had always been a fan of the rival series based on off their design and accuracy, but found the double priming action for the apollo a little annoying. This model solved that issue, and i wouldnt of found out this information if it hadnt been for you video. Thanks a lot man. Keep up the great content. :)
I think if I was to make a complete upgrade mod for this into a primary, I would add a pump-action arm that disconnects at the fully-back position, to eliminate some of that human error. That, plus a slightly longer stock (personal preference) and springs would be about perfect for me.
Is the Helios supposed to sound like it is dry firing even if it is loaded? Mine is pretty loud when firing with or without a round loaded. Please someone tell me cause I would like to return it if it is defective.
I actually have this blaster at home, and my family forbids me from firing it while there’s people in front of me. They make me treat it like a real firearm.
This is an awesome little SMG if fired from the chest and not the shoulder! I take back my previous comment about this being a pistol. It is definitely not! A fun competition would be the Helios vs the Hera! SMG vs SMG! Just to note, I have noticed that aftermarket magazines tend to not fit the Helios because the aftermarket magazines are a bit too wide for the Helios. I have only noticed this problem with the Helios and not any other blasters. Furthermore, I would say that the problem lies with the aftermarket magazines and not the Helios itself. So, just to be aware. Also, I would recommend not forcing an aftermarket magazine to fit the Helios as the magazine will get jammed and then you will have to play with it in order to get it out because it is too wide for the hole.
@@HelloThereGameplays yeah sorry for being rude I just decided to say that so like 20 people are not like “ehhfhheufhhwjc u copied comment stupid idjriigiroovor” since they already saw I said it
I got this Twelve round Rival Magazine i am not sure what kind but when i put it into my Helios it got stuck so I had to take apart the Blaster, Was it Detective/Offbrand or was it Human Error?
Daniel Warrior no. Helios is not a Roman God, he is in fact greek titan of the sun. Titans came first before Gods. Since no one knows who Helios is, he faded away and gave the title of "sun god" to Apollo.
I didn't know you are a fire arms instructor. It's awesome knowing that you also like real guns too. I recently got a hades so won't be outgunned by my kids. 😂
Nerf 2017: recognizes some flaws with the Apollo and the Zeus and releases the Helios and Hera Nerf 2020: introduces more flaws than the original Elite line and releases Elite 2.0
Twospoopy4Yee Your “marksman side” is not necessarily your dominant side. I know plenty of right hands who prefer their left hands for a multitude or reasons, and a very close lefty friend of mine insists on using his right side for his primaries and his left for pistols.
Hello fellow right hand primer! I know they prime with their left hands because it gives them a speed advantage when they are on the field, but I like to install the handle on the right to fulfil the ''firearm fantasy'' of mine if that doesn't sound too childish lol.
I just got my first Rival gun for my birthday yesterday (yeah, my bday is april fools) and I actually meant to get this but got the Mandalorian Apollo instead. These things sound like actual freaking guns and I can't believe the punch they pack. I love Rival
im left handed and it annoys me so much when things aren’t ambi like even the alpha trooper it has releases on both side but the left side doesn’t work
I wish they would just make a basic m4 style rival blaster that feeds magazines through the front like a normal gun. It would also be nice to see the return of full auto springers and pressurized tanks.
Press on the trigger really hard or use something long to push the balls in and take them out using the unjamming door Edit: idk if it works for you but it worked for me
Coop doesn’t mention this in his video but the trigger does not slide straight back, it pivots at the top, and the trigger is relatively sharp, meaning that I found this blaster quite uncomfortable to use. The grip is also much larger than something like a Kronos and it’s also quite sharp.
Hey hey, Love the channel love the videos and love the reviews. I love the rival series, and more directly a fan of the springers, I am old school. I recently bought a Kronos, and a Helios. And, Well, I have one hell of a lot to say. First off, IMHO the handle/grip on the Apollo is 100% better than the Helios, simple satisfaction in the feel. The trigger is 100% better on the Apollo, simple feel, smoother, and better in every way. (I intend to buy a 2nd one, and then return one, to find out if I got a faulty unit.) The Magazine release on the Helios is borderline obtrusive, and is simply excessive, there was no reason to make it bigger and orange. The size difference is marginal, but the weight difference is significant. I bought the Helios for the side bolt, the spring loaded return, and hopefully a set of gears without a history of stripping (although my Apollo has had 0 issues. ) I like the slide/bolt action I like the spring return, However, I believe I would have been happier with the metal gears in a Phantom Corps Apollo If all the kids are using 7 shot springers, there is no "pay to win" and I do not need a 200 round Gatling gun. I will update when I find out if the trigger action is "normal" or a flawed gun. I have had zero jams, I have had NO issues with the spring return, and I have had no user errors. After using an apollo, one is accustomed to making sure the slide goes all the way forward.
If everything’s a Jolt reskin, and this is an Apollo reskin, which is also a Jolt reskin, is the Helios a reskin of a Jolt reskin, or just a Jolt-reskin like every other Nerf blaster? #joltception
i have one, put the lever in backwards, took it apart, cant put it back together. looking for some kinda tutorial on full strip then rebuild, or else im fucked
Mine definitely wiggles but the bolt handle is a separate piece that can be switched from one side to another so you'd expect some play here and there.

Please someone tell me cause I would like to return it if it is defective.
Jason Tan yes that’s how it’s supposed to be
its a very strong blaster blasters like that are loud
It’s because rival Blasters don’t have air restrictors witch makes it more powerful but louder
Mine feels like it is about to break when it fires.
Mine does that and I’ve had no problems
I loved that “fully ambi bro” never stop making videos dude keep up the good work.
"Silly Muggles and their machines." Lmao!! :D
This reminds me of a space marine bolter. Mostly the big cylindrical priming bar, but overall it’s fairly similar.
The Apollo is the rival jolt EVERY THING IS AN APOLLO
Hayden Sicely that would be the Kronos lol
But the Apollo isn't, it is a Jolt reskin
The apollo is a retaliator reskin

Why is there no Rival Sniper?
because all of them are snipers
Thatcher RainbowSix Team maybe in the future
I don't think there should be a sniper just a scope attachment
Thatcher RainbowSix Team The elongated barrel doesn't equal accuracy in nerf it just reduces range. Rival.ks supposed to be practical, not tacky lol
Noah Torres a red dot and scope are to very different objects with different purposes -.-
I wanna see Frank do his testing procedure with a need blaster in a video.
I can't find any of the rivals in Greek stores pls help I live in Greece and I don't know where I can find them
I actually have this blaster at home, and my family forbids me from firing it while there’s people in front of me. They make me treat it like a real firearm.
While having firearm discipline is good, your family sounds like wimps. Rival doesn’t hurt that bad.

What happens if a rival ball somehow bounces off something and hits your monitor?
Oh there’s a story behind that
It survives, usually
Not sure if I should the bolt on the left and use my left hand to prime or have the bolt on the right and let go of the grip to prime
