Nerf Rival Forerunner XXIII-1200 Blaster, 12 Round Capacity, Adjustable Sight

I own a little over 60 nerf rival blasters, and the Forerunner is a competent addition to the line. It uses the same reliable breech loading port as the Kronos, takedown, and saturn, but with a larger internal magazine capacity. Firing velocity and priming weight are comparable to other rival springers. The priming handle is well-designed with ribbing and a rear hand stop, so you're not likely to get hand cramps if you're playing an extended game. This is a great purchase if you're just getting into the hobby and don't have a ton of money to spend on gear. You don't need to buy extra magazines, it has high capacity and decent velocity, and it's a sturdy and reliable blaster. Meat and potatoes. It'll keep you competitive in a game with your friends, as long as they're all using springers. But if you already have a takedown, saturn, or pathfinder this blaster doesn't really add much value to your arsenal. Personal nitpick: I don't care for the ergonomics. I wish the grip was a little higher to create a better center of gravity for the blaster. One final footnote: Headshot ammunition is the most popular off-brand rival ammo, but it WILL jam consistently in this blaster. If you're using official rival rounds, jams/misfires will be extremely rare.

Me and my 4 year old son are loving it so far. It's pretty hard for him to cock, but he manages it.. We've had several elite dart guns and several of the rival guns for a few years, and I have to say the rival guns are much better. With high quality brand new darts, the dart guns work very well, but after a few weeks the darts end up bent and squished, and then they jam like crazy. The blue rival balls on the other hand hold up very well. They're quite a bit more powerful, which could be a positive or a negative. At close range they're quite accurate, but at longer ranges this opens up due to the curve ball effect. These guns are harder to cock than most toy guns. My son is only barely strong enough to do it, whereas he's been shooting the elite dart guns for a year. Another downside is that balls ricochet like crazy, which can make it harder to shoot safely in the house. Normally we only wear goggles when we're intentionally shooting at each other, but with these if you shoot a flat surface at close range the ball can come right back at you. This particular rival gun works great. I like the internal magazine and loading method. It doesn't seem like you can unjam it without taking the gun apart, so hopefully it wont get jammed up with hair. Very happy overall

Bought this for my 12-year-old, and it's been a huge hit. It shoots surprisingly far and has plenty of power, which makes games a lot more exciting. The rounds can sting a little when they hit, but nothing too bad. We make sure the kids wear face masks and eye protection, and they've had a blast using it safely. It feels sturdy, performs well, and keeps them entertained for hours outside. If your kids enjoy Nerf battles and are old enough to play responsibly, this is a lot of fun. Five stars!

Forerunner is one of the vary best nerf Rival low copasity blasters ever made. It handles will at short range 20 to 30 ft it exstramly accurate and you can pull of some great long distance shots if you get good with it. It stupid easy to load thanks to the top loading port. This and a bag of spare rival rounds is really all you need smfor a stock nerf war. This is actually my favorite blaster from the line too use . It handles like a dream. I only give it a 4 star rating because most rivals have huge amounts capacities thanks to Hoppers and extreme rate of fire. The forerunner however is nothing like that. It also lose out because it's less modifiable then my favorite Nerf blaster of all time the pilot pistol which comes from the same line. Then again every Nerf blaster is less modifiable than a pilot. Easily one of the best blasters you can buy from nerve in 2026.

I bought 3 of these to be used at anytime in my house. Out of the 3, one broke within an hour of use. Requested a replacement and got it right away. My household isn't using this for games. It's for straight fun. They are very accurate. They can hurt so highly recommend at least glasses to protect the eyes. Youngest user is 12yr female and she has no problem loading and firing. If looking for some accurate and fun nerf guns, I highly recommend.

This thing is great. We have a few rival guns and this shoots the hardest and best.

My son just opened this for his birthday. It barely shoots across our living room. We have multiple nerf rival guns that shoot great, this one is a dud. Very disappointed. The rest of the gun is pretty cool and he loves the sight, but the lack of power ruins it.

This thing works crazy well, the sights on point, and the balls hurt a little 😂 very fun for the kids of all ages in my house. It’s a little hard to cock back for the smaller hands but the bigger kids are having a blast with this one. It shoots pretty far too.

Produto excelente com um preço ótimo. Comprei para meus filhos e eles adoraram.

awesome

二度、注文をいたしました。 一度目の商品は弾の射出威力が非常に弱く、駄菓子屋の銀玉鉄砲かというものでしたので、返品をいたしました。 二度目は販売店様を変更して注文をいたしました。念のため、注文前に不良品だった場合の返品について問い合わせをしましたが、迅速丁寧なご回答をいただけました。安心して購入をさせていただき、商品も期待していた性能の物が無事に届きました。とても良いお品物です。

Great blaster to have fun with around the office . You can upgrade the spring if you like, lots of videos on how to do this . Buy the blue balls, they fly much better .

Bought as a gift. Was very well received. Just as pictured and described. Worked well. Very happy with it. I was a cool aunt.
