There's a NERF Rival XXIV-800 Mirage on the Horizon

The 2024 Nerf Rival Mirage might be the very last blaster in the NERF Rival line for all we know, but at least we're ending things on a banger. The Mirage has everything: detachable magazine, top loading, great power and accuracy, and even a hidden feature not listed in the instructions! All in a compact blaster that's easy to keep on you at all times, there's no illusion that this blaster is top tier for stock Rival. It even has some mod potential for Short Darts?

Your editor was unhinged this episode 😭

[TheOnlyPedroGameplays]

They should take advantage of the fact that the rival rounds can be loaded at nearly any position. If they made wackier designs that wouldn’t be feasible with soft darts, there’d be a huge variety of blasters

[supahvaporeon]

I think the hasbro designers are just taunting us to make a stock point system for these blasters. Deffo gives me Keltech CP33 with led tube light accent vibes.

I snagged one of these a month early due to target shenanigans, and I really do think this one of my personal favorites. The design has some of the finest proportions out of any blaster I've owned. With most nerf blasters, there are the occasional "what can you do?" Shapes on them, but not with the Mirage. Every detail alligns smoothly and harmoniously. The tactical pipe machine pistol aesthetic is pleasant and blends nicely with the minimalist silhouette. I love the colors as well. That magazine release is amazing, and the mirage feels pretty great to use.
My only issue is that the flatness of the rear pad of the grip beats up the webbing of my thumb, but apart from that, absolutely worth the 20 bucks if you're looking for a competitive secondary.

I miss when Nerf was the company that made tacticool toys that was known for people making movies with. I am making a Nerf movie that will be super remanicent of those old home movies you use to watch.

[finsteroc]

gotta love the rival series, wish more would come

0:47 actually, a pdw refers to any gun designed for the protection of non combatants, like engineers or pilots. They traditionally have more firepower and penetration than smgs. This would include some "smgs", like the mp7 or p90, but also carbines, like the ak74su.

[trentonnobles]

There is one more rival attachment: the extra mag holder.

[MacDannyGun]

I cant deny that I luv the look of it!!

3:50 Nerf loves giving you the blue bawwlzz ~ WalcomS7 ( I hope this gets a new insider meme )

[ArnieMcStranglehold]

I actually saw this on shelves at walmart today, after noting that they moved the entire nerf section in front of the bikes.
I like this. I have seven Rival mags; four 12 rounders and three 7 rounders. I have nothing that's not battery powered that can use them.

[DefinitelyNattox]

My take: the Mirage basically invalidates every reasonable argument for someone to buy an Apollo. It’s a spring powered, high velocity mag fed rival blaster that is way smaller than the Apollo or the Helios.

[TheUndeadslayer]

I was kinda waiting for this review, because it is a neat little blaster, but I wanted to see how that top loader feature would perform.

[R_L_Joker]

Fell in love with it and the banana mag setup.

[bloodangelphil]

Honestly, I think Walc here might be my most trusted source for Nerf stuff.

[thomaskateboards]

I love tha you can load the mag without taking it out, this is defienetly a buy for me

[michaelbeaver]

Thank you walcom for uploading this review I know in livestream you said you didn't think people wanted to see this review but I'm so glad you posted it

[adriansue]

More Rival
what would you like to see them do next?
I personally can't think of any new concept that hasn't already been done.

[ThePteropterus]

I see everyone was recommended the Ryland Kurshenof videos recently. I'm also loving them, listen to those sets constantly.

[thatoldnerfguy]

Nice little touch with the turn table in front of the blasters. I can't believe I haven't unboxed it yet.
