With the Rush-40 pistol and Mach-100 SMG in particular, their shots almost immediately curve right down to the ground, forcing you to aim much higher than your target and rain balls down.

The Hyper rounds hit harder (I asked friends to shoot me in the face), so it’s more obvious when you’ve been tagged. NERF HYPER ROUNDS AND LARGE HOPPER WITH 100-ROUND CAPACITY: Blaster comes with 80 Nerf Hyper rounds.Fire rounds with amazing speed from this fully motorized blaster that unleashes rounds at a velocity of up to 110 FPS.

It’s quite an odd feeling after using Rival for so long, where the backspin helped make for relatively straight and level shots.They travel faster and don’t loft in the air quite like Rival rounds, so they’ll likely be harder to dodge, too. It’s usable, sure, but far from ideal, and you should at least wait for a sale if you’re interested in getting it. The front grip/battery tray is a natural place to put your offhand, and helps with bearing the weight of the batteries. lines (both of which performed worse than previous blasters in a number of ways), I’m hoping Hasbro might take a harder look at how it can truly compete.

The Mach-100 is supposed to be the flagship of the Hyper line, but it has many flaws holding it back. This is all a shame, because in many ways these Hyper balls are the best projectiles Nerf’s made in years. Hyper Mach-100 Fully Motorised Blaster Includes 80 Nerf Hyper Rounds, Up To 110 FPS Velocity, Easy Reload, Holds Up to 100 Rounds.The lack of hop-up led not only to needing to angle the blaster for distant shots (unlike Rival), but also to inaccuracy.
