About this deal

I know this is already an expensive blaster, but I would also definitely recommend the rechargeable battery. To load ammo into the hopper and you simply slide open up the top door and drop in a hundred balls (I still find that awesome…. Essentially it is a Khaos, but rather than have the incredibly complex 40 round magazine, the engineers at NERF have turned it upside-down and left gravity to feed the ammo into the chamber rather than the springs in the Khaos magazine.

This is not only the best blaster in the NERF Rival range, it is simply the best unmodified blaster, full stop! Both the Nemesis and Khaos are pretty tough on batteries, so those big, expensive D batteries will not last that long and it only costs about as much 3/4 sets and believe me, you will be firing this a lot! The D batteries are heavier and don’t spin the flywheels up as fast and so does not fire as hard as the rechargeable pack, which we talk about later. The Nemesis has a fully automatic firing system and a firing capacity of 100 High-Impact Rounds that are loaded via a purpose-built hopper system. Unlike other Rival blasters, like the Perses, where you can only feed rounds directly into the blaster, the hopper chamber on the Nemesis is detachable.I've fought against battery powered Nerf toys for a while now since I've always felt the important part of using Nerf blasters was that anyone can power the toy with a simple motion of pulling back a lever or whatever device primes the ammo and pulling the trigger. That's more than double the capacity of the previous heavy-support blaster— the Nerf Rival Khaos—which can only hold some 40 rounds in its monster magazines. As mentioned above, this blaster can also hold the Nerf Rival rechargeable battery pack, which is handy if you’re tired of spending your coin on batteries. As a high-performing, fully automatic blaster, the Nemesis is an excellent trailblazer for the Prometheus and Perses models.

They’re fun to have and look great, but honestly, they don’t really add much value when it comes to the accuracy of your firing. The Nemesis currently tops my list of fully automatic Nerf blasters right now; that’s how much I like this machine. As with all flywheelers you have to rev the blaster for a moment to spin up the flywheels before pulling the trigger or you get a very weak shot. But if you are playing a long session, the internal capacity of this blaster helps even out this issue.

So for the cost of a few changes of D batteries, the Rechargeable Battery Pack is a bit of a bargain in my eyes. The aerodynamics and inconsistent muzzle velocities ensure too much erratic behavior from your shots.

Like the NERF Rival Khaos it is fully automatic and flywheel powered, but this one is hopper fed with a hundred round capacity! So if your blaster jams you have to pop the hopper off, and then you can get your finger in there to clear any jams. Most of the time this was no problem as running around shakes them up plenty, but if you are on sentry duty, keep an eye open for this. The Nemesis MXVII-10K is named after Nemesis, the Greek goddess who enacts vengeance on those who succumb to hubris. It holds either 6 D batteries, or one of Nerf's new Rival rechargable battery packs (sold separately), which make the whole beast of a blaster go.Alternatively, the Nemesis can also be powered with the Nerf Rival Rechargeable Battery Pack, should you already have one of those at home. I managed to clear several of them with a hefty shake, but one did require me to remove the hopper and fish the offending round out. It is also practical as it takes out the grunt work of reloading mags and carrying dump pouches with a load of ammo is so much easier than mags.
