Details
The Jupiter is a RIVAL-style magazine-fed flywheel blaster. The Jupiter has a small form-factor, but unlike other blasters with similar form factors, the Jupiter is fully-automatic. Unlike other blasters of this style, the Jupiter doesn't have a magazine release, as the magazine itself is friction-fit, and can be inserted and removed without needing to hold down a button.

The Jupiter features two [[Picatinny rail]s; one lining up throughout the top of the blaster, and a much smaller one right in front of the grip. A LiPo battery can be loaded towards the back of the blaster via a thumb screw that can be removed on the top of the blaster.

The Jupiter also features some smaller features that may not be as important as the main firing of the blaster. These include a rotatable hop-up akin to those of the Nerf RIVAL Curve Shot sub-series, the ability to fire Mega Darts via a RIVAL magazine, and being able to load a single High-Impact Round.

Blaster sets
A multitude of features can be altered on the Jupiter prior to purchasing. For example, the flywheel motors can be altered to use either a "2s LiPo" battery or a "3s LiPo" battery. Similarly, the acceleration trigger and barrel of the blaster can be physically altered, such as having a more stubby acceleration trigger or a more clear indicator of the barrel hop-up. The rate of fire is also able to be changed upon ordering, ranging from 12 rounds a second to only 3 rounds a second. The color scheme of the Jupiter can be heavily altered, as not only are the primary, secondary, and grip colors able to be customized, but the barrel, trigger, and acceleration trigger can have different color schemes as well.

The Jupiter is available in a DIY kit, where the user assembles the blaster themselves. Several parts are able to be purchased on its own, most notably each individual part of the blaster shell, and internals such as triggers and parts for the flywheel system.

Several add-ons are also available for purchase separate from the Jupiter, most notably a magazine holder that can be attached via Picatinny rail, a foregrip, and an adaptor for a Proton Pack.
