Well, yes. The RIVAL blasters could have been designed to work optimally with the Nerf rechargeable pack. But that still doesn't explain the difference in voltage, or the improvement in performance with a lesser battery.

I'm beginning to suspect someone's l̶y̶i̶n̶g̶  not telling the whole truth. Either the Nerf rechargeable pack produces way more current than standard D batteries, or the pack produces a lot more voltage than advertised. I'm suspecting the latter. But hey, this wouldn't be the first time I was dead wrong about something. In fact Mrs. ElliottW reminds me of that all the time 😒
