I'm surprised Hasbro is releasing blasters with a 12 round magazine in 2019 like the Hypnos, considering all the large capacity blasters they just released in 2017-18.

As I started thinking about it, there's no way I'm walking into a Nerf firefight with a 12 round RIVAL blaster knowing full well I could cross paths with a Hades, a Nemesis, or possibly a Prometheus. Especially with a single shot springer like a Hypnos.

Sure, there are those who say it's not the size of the blaster that counts. But I've had the fortune of bringing a Nemesis to a Nerf battle. The guy with the Disruptor got off one shot. The Kronos dude got off three. I managed to fire 35 rounds in that same time, and still had 80 rounds left*. If I'd had my Prometheus, it would have been a total slaughter.

So why is 2019's first RIVAL blaster a literal blast from the past ??? Sorry, that was rhetorical 😉

* The Nemesis can comfortably hold 115 rounds. 120 if you pack 'em in.
