Announced just before the New York Toy Fair last year, Nerf’s Rival blasters, which launched tiny foam balls at speeds of up to 70 miles per hour, were the biggest innovation in foam warfare in years.

Do you collect Nerf guns? There are many types and many different-named guns like the Rival, the Mastodon and the Centurion. Each Nerf does something different, and that adds to the fun. I have 25.
