There's a pretty big discrepancy between the 100 FPS RIVAL blasters and the 150+ FPS Dart Zone Pro blaster(s). I'd like to think Dart Zone cleared the way by showing there's a definite market for a well made super stock blaster.

HYPER might be an attempt to cash in on the market-share that wants a high performance blaster, but also doesn't want to be gluing together PVC plumbing parts and making their own ammo. And maybe I'm biased, because I'm definitely in that group.

Personally, I'd be really happy if HYPER shoots in the 140+ FPS range with fairly high capacities and affordable ammo. But if HYPER isn't "funner" than my Nemesis or Perses, then I'll just stick with RIVAL. I'll just pick off those pesky HYPER combatants with my Caliburn, then mop up with a hi-cap Perses (or two).
