About this deal

On the left side of the blaster there’s a priming indicator. The indicator is up when you are primed and down when you are not rather than the bright orange or gray you get on most of the N-Strike blasters. The Artemis is a pump-action blaster that features three integrated magazines that hold ten High-Impact Rounds each, and a front turret system that rotates on the prime. It also has the ability to be slam fired for a higher rate of fire. Like other RIVAL blasters, a safety mechanism is located just next to the trigger.

round internal capacity is more difficult and time consuming to reload as opposed to magazine-fed Rival Blasters. The Nerf Rival Artemis XVII-3000 is a 30 round, pump-action, blaster that is a fun toy that has it's positive's and it's negatives. The speed and accuracy with which the Rival rounds pop out is going to be quite a revelation if this is your first step up from NERF’s dart-firing blasters. From 10 feet away you can group your shots within inches rather than feet, and the rounds ping around the place so there’s the added possibility of getting hit by a ricochet. The clear tubes in the rear are where the ammo is stored. These are not removable magazines like the Zeus or Apollo, they are integrated into the blaster.The others are there for aesthetic effect. Even though the other three barrels have no function, it is interesting to see how the barrels rotate when firing. Firing speed This was only when I was going nuts with slam fire, which is most jams and malfunctions occur but I did not get any actual jams, just this, which is not too bad when you consider the amount of grief I was giving it! Power and Accuracy This is not too bad, but once in awhile, I found myself dry-fire and then have two rounds pop out a prime or two later. Note: I wrote a similar review for a red color. Just copied and paste. To those reading this a first time, sorry.

Nerf Rival Artemis XVII-3000 Plastic Toy Blaster, For Kids

The Rival Hades has a single fire and a slam fire feature. Like many other Nerf blasters, the Rival Hades is a spring-powered pump-action blaster and belongs to the Phantom Corps category. The priming indicator does not indicate whether you have any ammo though, simply that you are primed, so no ammo, no dart, regardless of what the indicator says! Also, you cannot prime twice, so it is not entirely useful. Yes, you heard me right! A 60-round magazine! The internal magazine consists of three different magazines that look like tubes. Each of these magazines holds 20 rounds, for a total of 60 rounds. They have done this by using a similar design to the Rival Zeus’s inline magazine but merged 3 of them together. The difference is that in the Zeus you can remove the magazine, but it is only 10 rounds. I was a little disappointed by the Zeus and Atlas. They both had their good points, but only the Apollo (mainly because it is such good value for money) and the Khaos left me with an idea of how good the Rival range could be.

Unboxing & Getting Started

The Artemis XVII-3000 is similar in some respects to the older Nerf Action Ballzooka, as it is a pump-action, ball-firing blaster with rotating barrels. The only difference is that the Artemis has a trigger while the Ballzooka didn't, as the latter fired when the user worked the pump. The Artemis XVII-3000 is named after Artemis, the Greek goddess of the hunt, forests and hills, the moon, and archery. Artemis is also the twin sister of Apollo, which the Apollo XV-700 was named after. Unlike the rival Nemesis, the firing rate of the rival Hades is not that high. Some may fault Hades for its rate of fire, but it’s still fine if you ask me.
