This is my cats' favorite toy. They love chasing the balls, and the loading gimmick lets me sneak ammo back in without picking the blaster up and alerting them. I think Nerf made this one just for me. 🤣

Coop did a video showing that it does load from the side. How are the two guns different for you two?

Before release, I posited this would be the Rival Retaliator platform. When I saw the pump and stock kits, I immediately realized I wasn't the only one who saw it that way. I agree that the geometry in the bottom front is misguided - glad you've tested the K series springs in it.

I love it that when he tried to load it the second time, he did it really fast and it saved him no time whatsoever.

The only thing on my wishlist for this blaster would be a replacement muzzle piece, that also would come with an attachment point for a return spring for the breech. TaG did a video where he installed a return spring in the front, which made sure the breech would always seal nicely, really helping with getting reliable performance.

I love how he say

Hey when are the premade Jupiters and the proton packs going to be available again? any idea?

[TheSybermedic]

Luke, thanks for the review. I'll stick with my Kronos

[Top-pd]

I know you released your book I while ago but is it good for beginner modders

[isaacfarr]

you can load while its in the blaster with some finagling!

[woomyntime]

Put the rival drum in it.




Yes, I noticed it.

[esnipe]

An improved mag release would be awesome

[jonjohn]

The pathfinder is that evolution blaster

[Top-pd]

Is Luke’s book good for beginner modders without advanced tools

[bearcats]

The mag is still good even if it’s gimmicky imo because now that they’re confident it works they can use the same system in other mags and build and improve upon it. It’s not a bad thing that it’s got the gimmick.

[Top-pd]

Please do a series for beginner modders Luke

[BaIlsLover]

All finishers jam but yours have defect - in other finishers you can reaload mag when it is inside

[ErrorNumber]

It sucks that Rival will probably become obsolete. I hope it does something to combat that.

[AeroQC]

I like the aesthetic of the Finisher, but I'm kind of disappointed that you can't top off the mag while it's in the blaster. If that's what you want, then you're either better off with the Kronos or some trimming of the magwell might be in order.
Also, after reading the comments and looking in the background, could we see some action with that custom-looking Rival Drum Magazine?

[brick]

I have a finisher and can load the magazine while it's in the blaster just fine
