I figured that since the Rival line very rarely shows up used on local Kijiji or in the thrift stores, I should jump on this opportunity and grab a Nemesis while TRU had a Rival sale going. So this blaster cost me around $75 CAD (50% off) and the Nerf NiMH battery pack was around $39 (30% off). Using a rechargeable power source instead of six bulky D batteries was a no-brainer. 🙄

Obviously, this is pricier than my usual $50 ceiling for new blasters, but the little voice in my head loudly clamored for an exception...

Part of the appeal of the Nemesis is the high-capacity hopper and quick reload time compared to the 12-round magazines, as well as the burst- and auto-fire capacity (ROF around 4-5 RPS?). However, I do foresee a LiPo and rewiring upgrade in the future, and possibly a relocated trigger handle to offset the heavy front weight bias.
