Rival Mirage XXIV-800 Blaster, 10 Nerf Rival Accu-Rounds, 2 Ways to Load, 8 Round Removable Magazine, Pump Action Priming, Gifts for Teens

I LIKE the Nerf AccuRival Mirage. I like the aesthetics, ergonomics, dual loading system, performance, and ammo/magazine compatibility. FIVE VERY ENTHUSIASTIC STARS. I like the aesthetics: the ongoing accurival color scheme of blue base with black, yellow, and orange highlights is just very cool looking. I love the yellow piping that threads around various parts of the blaster. I like the thumbhole stock, and how it changes the overall profile of the gun. The general aesthetic is bright, busy, and just very cool. I like the ergonomics: I have some friends that like to use Rival guns but their small hands make it difficult to use some models like the Helios or Knockout. I think they’ll appreciate that (even though the Mirage has an in-grip mag well) the grip on this handle is actually smaller than most mag-fed rival guns. In fact, the whole blaster is small. In the attached photo you’ll probably note that the Mirage has a noticeably smaller profile than its bullpup-style predecessors in the Rival line (Apollo and Helios). I like the dual loading system: I WANT TO SEE MORE OF THIS on other Rival guns. It’s mag fed (so you can do mag swaps in tight situations) but it also has a breech-loading port (so you can reload on the go without removing the mag). This is a GREAT feature especially if you don’t have a lot to spend on nerf guns and can’t afford an extra mag. I like the performance: smooth priming action, the thumbhole stock keeps your sight picture stable while drawing the priming handle back. I don’t have a chronometer, but the Mirage really seems to have good velocity. I like the ammo compatibility: I ran ten different kinds of ammo through this blaster (from 5 different manufacturers) and the Mirage handled them beautifully. The only jams/misfeeds I had came from using Headshot Ammo (which I don’t recommend anyway). The ammo from NERF, Dartzone, TiopLior, XShot, and EKind all worked great. I like the magazine compatibility: this worked with literally EVERY other magazine I own. THIS IS VERY UNUSUAL. Even the generic mags worked! This is a huge selling point for me, because magazine incompatibility is extremely common and very inconvenient. SUMMARY: I like the Mirage. It’s great. Thank you Hasbro! 5 stars.

This nerf is so much fun. My kids love them. It’s durable and functions well.

This Nerf gun Was a good purchase. So good in fact that I bought one for myself so that my grandson and I could have Nerf gun battles. It is so much fun. I originally bought went for my grandson for Christmas. The balls are soft and easy to load. The only objection to this purchase is it’s hard to pull the lever to pop the pellet into fire mode. It it wasn’t for that I’d give it a 5 rating.

Great range and power. Very accurate and easy to load magazine. Its easy to use and very fun

Out of all my nerf guns this is my favorite. Being s huge fan of the rival series, I feel lile Nerf has really perfected this blaster. It is the straightest and furthest shooting of my spring rival blasters. Size is perfect and functionality to breach load or magazine load gives plenty of options in the field. Easy to use and hasn’t jammed yet. Worth it!

Highly recommend!!! Such a good blaster. Secret tech: IT HAS SLAMFIRE! Super accurate wether you’re using the new rival accustrike rounds, the old yellow rival rounds, and even the X shot chaos rounds. Literally wherever you aim, that’s where it’s gonna go. It is compatible with the old clear rival magazines and some off brand magazines like borola and EKIND HOWEVER the nerf rival challenger magazine kinda works with this, you have to load it in backwards but taking the mag out is Gonna need a good yank (dont recommend putting the challenger magazine in the mirage) Let alone I got two of them when they were $7.49!!! Even when it’s $10 it is A MUST!! If you can’t wait for it to arrive the next day. Your local target and walmart should have it in store shelfs.

Pros: Priming handle is much more comfortable than the Kronos. Magazine holds 8 rounds, 2 extra rounds are included. Distance an accuracy are on par for the Rival line. Cons: Top prime does not work well, in my experience about 1 out of 3 rounds end up going into the barrel instead of the magazine. This leads to 2 rounds firing at once in the best case but more often jamming the blaster. You have to be pretty careful to get it to top, load properly. Priming handle is a bit small.

Great quality
