Nerf Rival Khaos MXVI-4000 Blaster Toy, Blue

This blaster is the perfect addition to any nerf lover's arsenal. It comes with a forty capacity magazine and a full auto ability. The ergonomics are very sleek, but this blaster definitely packs a punch. It has shooting power of about 100 fps, (you can hear it ricochet). It is also very accurate, and its accuracy can be compared to that of a decent paintball gun. The rate of fire isn't the fastest, but it is enough to make cover for your teammates or something like that.Now this blaster has its cons too, including weight and noise, as well as added chance of loosing the rival rounds. It's not terribly heavy, but for nerf blasters, it's definitely a step up on the scale. With no designated places for a sling mount, you'll find it harder to dash around in battle. Still, it's evenly balanced. 6 D batteries won't help with the price or the weight either. The rounds are almost as bouncy as little rubber balls, and since they are tiny they go EVERYWHERE. I would recommend finding some glow in the dark rounds so you can find them easily when it's dark. The last thing is the noise. It's really noisy. Your enemies will know when you are coming, and the noise causes the gun to shake a little, so that's a pretty big con.Overall, it's a must buy primary for anyone's blaster collection, and it ups the competition in any battle.

This was purchased for my son who is 7 years old. The gun is very heavy by the time you put the 6 or 8 D batteries in it but it surely does pack a punch. Balls sting a bit upon impact. I imagine if someone got shot in the eye with this gun it could be a real problem. Knock on wood, to date we haven't had any medical emergencies from this toy. The balls fly really far. And the speed at which it cranks out the balls....well let's just say it is the kids favorite nerf toy to date. Hubs and I had fun running around battling with this and the rhino fire. Fun fun fun! It does eat though the batteries quickly though so don't let your costco membership lapse.

Nerf Rival KhaosWhat more can be said of the best Blaster of 2016 by the top Nerfer Guru's in America? Drac has named the Khaos as the 2016 blaster of the year and Coop has named it the best 2016 gift of the year (it made the top 5 best list by Bobololo too). At over $70 it is a fairly steep price tag, but what you get is a whole lot of fun. This blaster uses Rival rounds, which look like little foam golfballs. The official Nerf Rival Rounds are yellow in color but you can purchase very good aftermarket Rival balls in a variety of colors from Cornucopia (provided it is the most recent upgraded formula as their first releases were much too soft and brittle). The Nerf Rival Khaos is capable of shooting these rounds at over 100 feet per second (FPS) and has a confirmed average velocity reading of 100 FPS according to my ProChrono Digital Chronograph. This is the first official fully-automatic Rival blaster on the market, and to fire the balls by simply holding down the trigger, there is a conveyor belt (similar to that of the Nerf Hyperfire) that leads the balls into the flywheels, ejecting them with considerable speed and force upon contact (kind of like a baseball pitching machine). There is a convenient jam-access door that allows the user to look and poke around the flywheels if he (or she) so chooses. The internal electrical locks immediately stop any internal movement the moment the door is opened. The balls per second (BPS; not to be confused with Basis Point or Bits/Bytes Per Second) or rounds per second (RPS; not to be confused with Rotations Per Second) is 3.64 (yes, better than Pi), or the entire clunker of a 40 round magazine in 11 seconds. This mag is huge; thick like a text book, and it exceeds the length of my iPad (you might as well use it as a shield once you are out of ammo). There is a tiny switch (that looks like it could break if the mag is ever dropped the wrong way) on the tip of the top part of the mag. This switch opens the flip-top door that swings open on top of the magazine so you can reload it. There are 4 plastic levers with arrows embossed on them to direct you to push the springs down to make reloading possible. These levers and springs pop back up by either pushing a switch on the right of the magazine face, or simply fully inserting the magazine into the blaster (or manually unhinging the 4 plastic levers but that is not recommended). Inserting the mag is another potential issue in itself, and needs to be inserted at a specific diagonal angle to go into the magazine well. The user will have to become accustomed to the orientation and may need to practice with it beforehand to reload quickly, which is actually kind of a bummer, like... a lot since this magazine is *not sold separately and is *not cross-compatible with other Nerf blasters. But I digress, after-all, it does have the largest ball capacity of any Nerf magazine ever released. The battery tray was confusing for me when I first tried to load it with batteries (not included), and you apparently need to unscrew the Phillips screw on the top rear part of the blaster, slide the rear iron-sight panel (it has 2 plastic flip-up iron sights and one of them is on the panel) backwards, then pull the top panel off and slide out the battery tray. For such a pricy blaster, you would expect it to have batteries included, but unfortunately it does not come with the required 6 1.5V D-sized batteries to operate, and that is another con that adds to the following con that I must point out... the weight of this rather large blaster is considerably heavier than the other Rival blasters. Being designed for an older target market of kids over the age of 14, this consideration is pretty much negated due to the increased size and strength of the typical older user, but the smaller/ weaker users will definitely have a harder time moving around with this blaster. As far as ergonomics goes, I have no qualms. The pistol grip is okay and the main trigger, safety locking switch, acceleration (rev) trigger, and mag release are all placed well and are easy to reach for me. I think the front is in desperate need of a more comfortable grip, and perhaps the shoulder stock could have been a little longer, but that is just me being nit-picky. Luckily, there are Rival-specific attachments that will be released soon: One is a red-dot sight, the other is a flashlight foregrip. The grip seems like it was designed specifically for the Khaos since it is *the only current blaster in the entire Rivals line with a Picatinny rail in the area of the fore-grip. The Khaos also has a straight top Picatinny rail that covers the first 3/5 from the front of the blaster. These rails are not designed for the use of Nerf tactical rail accessories, but many do still fit on them. This blaster definitely has modification potential, and the *new Nerf Rivals battery pack could give this Nerf blaster the first legitimate modification performance upgrade in the entire Nerf line. So in conclusion, the Khaos blaster is arguably the best Nerf blaster that Nerf has ever released in terms of performance. It has several cons weighing down it's greatness, but *it also brings with it a lot of firsts and a ton of fun to the Nerf blaster universe. Of course, *it will be the best until the Rival Nemesis (100 round with hopper and agitator feeding mechanism) is released. *It is my hope that Hasbro and Nerf take cross-compatibility of it's magazines and ammo as seriously as it used to, and *I hope that their design team and engineers are also listening in on reviews (like this one) to understand what people (like Drac, Coop, and Bobololo) think of their products and to improve it with greater success in the future.*at the time of this review.

Fast firing rate. Quieter than the Zeus. Can fire in full auto, single shot.My son loves it. He is able to fire an "automatic' riffle.Heavier than expected.40-ball clip is little too large, I prefer 30-ball clip would be easier to handle for kids.Six of D size batteries add a significant weight to the gun. I modified the battery compartment to replace with 4 li-ion 18650 batteries (in 2s2p configuration), reducing the weight. No more buying expensive alkaline batteries, go green!I think the cost should be a few bucks less than retail price, since the packaging is a blank box, not a retail box.

We bought this Nerf Rival Chaos for the twins birthday and they absolutely love it because of the motor and how fast the nerf balls flow out of the gun. It is highly accurate at about 60 Ft away. It is very easy for the boys to reload the gun and the battery's seem to last for hours. I would recommend this to anyone with kids to help get them outside and off video games. They are getting their exersize and having fun at the same time.

We bought 3 and all work great we even bought extra Aammo along with extra clips we have had such great times with this, family time! Sometimes I think we have lost the meaning of that. My daughter is 18, my dad is 67 and I am 40 all three of us get out there and we play like we are 18 we forget our body have problems and are falling apart. But, when over hear my daughter talking about how much fun she had it makes my heart smile. She will carry this memory for the rest of her life and tell her kids about all the crazy but fun thing we did together. That is how I was raised, so I would get down on the floor and play with them for hours or take them to the park. (I have two kids one is moved out and making is own line on track) It's not the material thinks kids will remember it's the time I stop by my busy schedule just to have time with them that will last a life time.
