Nerf Rival Artemis XVII-3000 Red

Product Information

Firing is the real thrill of the Nerf Rival Battles, although the firing performance always depends on the specification of the NERF blaster. So when you prime it the barrels rotate like a Ferris wheel and the spring-loaded magazines push the rounds forward from the magazines. Initially, it will feed on the right magazine until this is depleted. Once it has emptied the right, it moves to the center and then the left. There are three separate loading holes because these are three (sort of) independent magazines. I found it was best to load one in each repeatedly rather than put all the rounds into one before moving on to the next due to the way the loading mechanism works (we will go into this later).

By making it fixed, the Artemis has managed to fit 30 rounds in the small body. This does make loading a little different, but I will get onto that in the loading and firing section. The fixed magazine is actually really well thought out too. Yes, you cannot swap it out in the way you can with a mag fed blaster, but I rarely found this an issue. Sure, you don’t get rapid automatic firing from a springer like this one, but to counter that you don’t have to worry about motor whirr giving away your position. This is the stealthy option. There is no need for any batteries or even magazines, so this is one of the easiest blasters to get started with. Design & Ergonomics Note: I wrote a similar review for a red color. Just copied and paste. To those reading this a first time, sorry.The first thing that strikes you is that this is a very compact blaster for something that holds 30 rounds.

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 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. The Hades can hold about 60 rounds with its built-in magazine. It has almost the same shape, size, and features as the Rival Artemis. 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.

Firing

One reason Hades is so big and heavy is because of the increased magazine capacity. The magazines in the Nerf Hades are all non-removable long tubes. Opening the Hades magazines The loading tube features a sort of a one-way entrance – or easy in, not so easy out entrance. This ensures that if you tip the blaster over you are not going to see 29 (it always happens then) balls rolling off under the couch.

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. Named after the Goddess of the Hunt, The Artemis has an impressive 30 round capacity, but it does not come with magazines. How will this affect loading and will it make it a no-go for serious game-play?

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.
