Nerf hit the ground running with their first Nerf Rival release of 2023. The Nerf Rival Forerunner continues the trend of solid blasters in the Accu-Rival line. This series of Nerf guns is part of the "Most Accurate Rival System" or MARS, as I call it. The Nerf MARS line of blasters is supposed to be more accurate than anything before it... This is akin to the Nerf Elite AccuStrike line of Nerf guns. The Forerunner follows in the footsteps of the excellent Nerf blasters before it, like the Nerf Rival Pathfinder and the Nerf Rival Fate. It's also highly reminiscent of the Nerf Rival Takedown from a few years ago, but with a standard pistol grip instead of the sloped shotgun grip the Takedown has. 

Don't miss out on these other Nerf necessities...

Dart Zone Spectrum Blaster

If you show up on any spectrum, let it be the Dart Zone Spectrum. This motorized blaster is often referred to as the "Stryfe killer" and nearly lives up to the hype. If you don't plan on modding, the Spectrum is actually the better buy.

Fire Phoenix Dart Blaster ...

The Fire Phoenix is a Nerf gun pistol that fires half-length darts and feeds magazines in through the pistol grip. This is a "cheaper alternative" (aka knockoff) to the premium ZWQ S200 Fire Rat blaster. The benefit is it's MUCH cheaper.
