For parents that enjoy having fun with their kids, one of the coolest toys that you can get to goof around and have fun at home with your little ones would be none other than a Nerf Gun. As we all know, Nerf Guns are simply a “blast” to play around with. Best of all, unlike your classic Legos, car-toys and truck-toys, action figures and many other usual kids toys that can make quite a mess when spread around the floor, Nerf Guns never get boring, and that even goes for adults. With your own set of Nerf Guns at home, you and your kids can start your very own action-packed all-out Nerf Gun War. Really, when it comes to playing with toys together with your kids, Nerf Guns are just about as good as it gets. So, if you’re looking for a cool nerf gun model to go with, consider picking up the Nerf Rival Curve Shot Flex XXI-100 Blaster.
The Nerf Rival Curve Shot Flex XXI-100 Blaster is a unique and super-fun nerf gun model that can fire its rounds straight, or, via its Rotating 360 Degree Muzzle, have them curved left, right, or downwards, coming with an Integrated Onboard Round Storage and a total of 5 Official Nerf Rival Rounds.
Just like any other nerf gun model, the Nerf Rival Curve Shot Flex XXI-100 Blaster can fire its rounds in a straight line. However, what truly makes this unique nerf gun model so fun to play with is none other than the fact that you can quickly adapt the gun’s firing-mode to have it fire its rounds around objects in unexpected curved patterns, allowing you to have its fired rounds curved towards the left, right, or down, thus ultimately allowing you to take the competition by surprise.
So, now that we’ve got your attention about, join us on our detailed review of this unique nerf gun model, where we check exactly how it works and see everything that it has to offer you.
DESIGN & SPECS
Starting with the nerf gun’s size, the Nerf Rival Curve Shot Flex XXI-100 Blaster comes at a reasonably compact size, measuring just 12.99 inches long by 10.51 inches tall by just 2.36 inches thick, and weighing just 1.19 lbs. (or 1.202 lbs. when having all of its included 5 Official Nerf Rival Rounds stored – 1 Round inside the gun and the other 4 Rounds slotted within its Integrated Onboard Round Storage).
Additionally, this nerf gun also features a kid-friendly construction and design, as the nerf gun is mainly made of ABS Plastic (Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene Plastic) and Memory Foam. Still, parents should be aware that due to this nerf gun model’s special “curved-firing” feature, its recommended that only children of ages of 14 years or up play around with it.
Now, moving on to the nerf gun’s unique design. The Nerf Rival Curve Shot Flex XXI-100 Blaster is designed to work like a Spring-Action Blaster.
That said, this nerf gun model comes equipped with a Ambidextrous Spring-Bolt Loader (located at the very bottom of the gun’s stock) that can be easily pulled down to reload the nerf gun with 1 Round and get it once again ready to fire, thus allowing each and every user to easily adjust the nerf gun to their dominant hand, which, in other words, ultimately makes this model an awesome nerf gun for both right-handed and left-handed battlers.
Not only that, but this unique spring-action blaster can unleash its Official Nerf Rival Rounds at exactly 90 feet per second. To put it simply, this is a reasonably fast, yet still fun and perfectly safe speed, so if you’re the typical goofy (and slightly “pushy”) dad / mom, don’t be afraid of “tapping” one of yours kids with it. Just remember… NOT THE FACE! (That said, I’d also recommend the use of some Protection-Eyewear).
In addition to that, this nerf gun also supports a Maximum Firing Range Distance of up to 85 ft., so keep that in mind when looking to accurately calculate your shoots.
Moving on to the nerf gun’s truly special component, the Nerf Rival Curve Shot Flex XXI-100 Blaster also comes equipped with a built-in Rotating 360 Degree Muzzle (located right at the nerf gun’s front side) that can be rotated in 360 degrees total.
Thanks to that, you can adjust and customize the blaster’s shooting pattern to fit your aiming needs, no matter the situation. By simply turning the gun’s muzzle into one of four (x4) different muzzle-positions (0 degrees, 90 degrees, 180 degrees, or 270 degrees), you can select a curved shooting-pattern for the nerf gun’s next rounds to be fired, so even if you’re opponents think that they’re out of your line of sight, you’ll be able to surprise them, as you’ll still have them within range.
So, as mentioned before, depending on the gun’s muzzle-position, you can have the Nerf Rival Curve Shot Flex XXI-100 Blaster to blast out its Official Nerf Rival Rounds in a completely unexpected curved shooting-pattern towards the left, the right, in a perfectly straight line, or even curving downwards.
Ultimately, this unique and super-fun Ambidextrous Spring-Action Blaster allows you to fire around corners, barriers, and obstacles, thus giving you the ultimate strategic competitive advantage in any Nerf Gun War between family and friends.
Last but not least, and as mentioned before, the Nerf Rival Curve Shot Flex XXI-100 Blaster also comes with its very own Integrated Onboard Round Storage – which can hold a total of 4 Official Nerf Rival Rounds – and this integration basically allows you to keep a few additional rounds at easy reach for faster reload times.
As said before, this awesome Ambidextrous Spring-Action Blaster comes together with a total of 5 Official Nerf Rival Rounds included in its package.
Best of all, this nerf gun also comes equipped with a built-in Trigger Safety-Lock, which allows you to lock up the gun’s shooting functionality when you’re looking to store it away before your next Nerf Gun War.
HOW TO USE?
While the XXI-100 Blaster comes designed in a very unique and innovative way, using this Ambidextrous Spring-Action Blaster is still as easy as using any other nerf gun.
To use it, you just have to pull down its Ambidextrous Spring-Bolt Loader to reload the nerf gun with 1 Round, and the gun will once again be ready to fire. Then, simply adjust the nerf gun’s built-in Rotating 360 Degree Muzzle according to the direction where you’re looking to fire its Nerf Rival Round, and end up by press its trigger to fire that 1 Round. That said, no batteries are required.
WHAT’S IN THE BOX?
Inside each package, users will find: their Blaster, a total of 5 Official Nerf Rival Rounds included, and the nerf gun’s Instruction Manual.
