Read my full review of the NERF Zombie Strike Hammershot here Nerf N-Strike Elite Triad EX-3 The only downside is we don’t like the trigger action as much as the Disruptor, but otherwise the Zombie Strike Hammershot blaster’s combination of fun and the ability to act as a really useful back up means it is still very close to the best back up blaster. You load it by pushing darts in from the front, which makes it very quick to reload and you can partially load it if you don’t have much time. This does mean you lose the ability to slam fire but with a bit of practice you can fan fire and look much more like a cowboy too…so darn fun! So if you run out of ammo in your primary, you can reload with one hand while still being able to defend yourself, especially if you have a hopper-fed blaster like a Nemesis! It is also great for NERF war games like capture the flag, so you can hold the flag and continue to fire! This allows you to cock it with your thumb, which is ideal when you need a spare hand. Instead of the priming handle, you get on most NERF blasters, it has a hammer much more similar to a real revolver. It is a revolver-style blaster that holds 5 N-Strike Elite darts, which is less than the Disruptor or Strongarm, but it has one very big advantage…you can prime it one-handed! Until the Kronos loomed into view, the Zombie Strike Hammershot blaster was our go-to pistol and it is still the best of the Elite dart firing NERF blasters. Side note: I should also mention the Nerf Rival Heracles, which is essentially a Kronos with ammo storage…for a lot more money! I found the ammo storage got in the way of holstering so I would pick the Kronos. Read my full review of the NERF Rival Kronos XVIII-500 here. ![]() ![]() The only thing it lacks it the ability to prime it one-handed, but its excellent form, firepower, and practicality is why it has managed to dislodge our long-term best pick, the Hammershot, as our best NERF pistol! This means it is not one for younger kids, but for us adults (notionally at least!) this has risen to the top of the pile as our pick of best NERF blasters. The Rival NERF blasters are aimed at 14+ so they are made with larger grips and fire harder, and the Kronos is no different. Then came the Kronos, which is small enough to holster, carries 5 NERF Rival high-impact foam rounds internally, and still shoots with Rival accuracy and most of the power…and it lived up to all our hopes! The Apollo was too bulky to use as a secondary and that was about it, so we were left with having to use an Elite as a backup, which meant also having to carry different types of ammo. The motorized blasters like the Nemesis and springers like the Artemis have long been faves, but there was no good pistol. Now, we love the Rival range here, but until the Kronos turned up, there was no good pistol. ![]() The Rival Kronos first saw the light of day as a tie-in with the Deadpool movie franchise, but it has now been released in white, Rival Phantom Corps color scheme, which looks really cool! ![]()
