I was incredibly lucky to be able to buy this blaster before it’s officially released. Stayed up till 2am to get the video done - hopefully it was worth it! Food for Thought: Are you planning to get the Nerf Perses - why or why not? Use the hashtag #fft and you might be featured in the next video! For my US fans, if you wanna pre-order the Perses on Amazon using my affiliate links, I’ll leave them here! :) Rival Perses (blue) - amzn.to/32KqFFW Rival Perses (red) - amzn.to/2O1BuPB
#fft The Rival Perses offers amazing value simply because it includes a rechargeable battery and charger despite its reduced capacity. That being said, now a days you can pick up a nemesis for $32-60 and a rechargeable battery pack for $15. I personally picked two on clearance when Kmart was doing it. I’ll stick with the nemesis, for now.
The Perses actually shoots faster than the Prometheus and there is one bad thing about the Perses is that it runs out of Rival Rounds easily. The Prometheus RPM is 429 while the Perses RPM is 500.
sixnil because rival is where it’s at, regular nerf doesn’t shoot far, hard, or well. Rival feels like an actual gun but you don’t get hurt by it, and it shoots straight!
The blaster has an upwards spin causing the rounds to curve up. Taking in the hopper feeding issue, one can tilt the gun forward to exploit gravity for feeding of the rounds and to accommodate for the bullet curve!
@@Neon1880 Not that far down of course! I am just saying there is a way to adjust for both problems. You only need to tilt a little for gravity to take affect.
Or like use while running, the shock from you r footsteps will be enough to jiggle the rounds into the hopper so thats only an in test issue and not an in play issue
For the feeding issue, with a bit of modding, I'm sure a spring assisted feed mechanism wouldn't be too hard to manage, just a small plate and a low tension spring to push forward rounds into the feeding tube
you see a person coming at you, they have this, but they are all out of ammo. you laugh. then he pulls another hopper from behind his back and loads it in. you run.
Ive seen the accu-round 'pixie dust' too even on the very first shot, but i think the rubberized coating on the blue foam does make the accu-round more durable to this problem than the traditional yellow rival round
#fft I really like the perces. First of all, the rate of fire makes it so fun to just annihilate people with. The capacity doesnt really bother me. It also seems to be more lightweight.
"In the future, I have great confidence that nerf will find a way to make a better hopper or increase the rate of fire." It's like watching your wedding video after you got divorced.
You gave an introduction, said what you were going to say, give gave good arguements and even gave us some trivia so that we stuck until the end, great video!
I’m hesitating between the Perses and the Nemesis but what deter me from choosing one is that the perses has only 50 balls compared to the nemesis, but the nemesis requires batteries while the perses include one. Can someone help ?
If you dremel out the inside of the hopper a bit or sand it down a shade (you could 3D print your own too but that sounds like a pain in the ass) and overvolt it some this thing would be unstoppable. You would be a walking force of nature, until 4 seconds later when you run out of ammo...
Guns I like to see: Nerf musket maybe? -Darts would be bolt-action -Rival would be add it in through the top, close, then pull the trigger! Use power or spring idk. I just want a sniper rival gun to re-enact historical battles! XD -A burst? Bolt action loads 3 from the hopper. Then when you pull the trigger it shoots 3 at ounce with an automatic wheel thing. Destiny 2 Exotics please? But still. Muskets. With a chary on top. :D Edit: Also this was a good and informational video!
Yesterday I went to a Nerf battle event that a local parkour place does every Saturday and I always bring this blaster. Although the rate of fire can be inconsistent sometimes and the ammo runs out quick the pros outnumber the cons. At one point I got up to the top of a wooden structure they have at the parkour place and there was a small wall on the structure blocking me (for reference it was like a trench where I could easily shoot the enemy but they would have a hard time getting me). And this structure was right in front of the opposing teams spawn so I could spawn kill anyone if I wanted to (which I did a few times). But with all these factors combined it felt to over powered so after getting a few people I stopped shooting and then someone got me.
I want this gun, but honesty, my play style is just grab ammo, roll/slide behind barrier, and then shoot someone at nearly point blank. With a Mccree pistol mind you. I’m basically the wildcard of the game
I have a NERF Rival Perses. The WORST thing actually is: "Problem Six"--The Perses cannot fire up very well. If your opponent is above you, the NERF Rival Perses will stall and fail to chamber a round as you aim toward the sky. I THINK THAT IS THE #ONE BIG ISSUE. But otherwise, I love it.
I wouldnt be able to hold a straight face, if not for the pain then just the silliness of standing there motionless as my buddy fires at me also motionless *cue side angle view*
This Blaster looks really cool, Not sure if I would get one with the cons it has. I have a Artemis, a Hades, a Kronos and 2 Prometheus blasters already I dont think this blaster has a place in my arsenal if it ACTUALLY shreds foam. kinda painful to watch this blaster spew tiny shreds of foam/money all over the place.
Price justification: nemesis = $100 /100 rounds/ no batteries/ slower rate of fire. Perses = same price with less rounds / included battery/ almost double the rate of fire/ more compact and streemlined form factor I think its an even tradeoff which justifies the equal costs between the 2
Did you fix the hopper feeding issues if you don’t you can make the Perses better by making another video saying you make the almost perfect blaster better
