About this deal
I have to admit he’s got a point: the first Rival blasters showed off serious potential, but their tiny magazines and terrible ergonomics were vastly improved just a couple years later. And while those balls did dive into the ground when I fired flat, I measured ranges of up to 150 feet with my distance measuring wheel after I angled shots up into the air. As you can see in the chart, the Rush’s maximum range absolutely dwarfs the Kronos, but at the expense of range when shot flat.
Like the rest of the line, the Mach-100 features a fine paintjob, combining a 90s vibe with carbon fiber-style molding. Loved this Keith Haring toy, it engrossed my 4 year old just as much as it fascinated me - hours of fun, and it looks so good too.They travel faster and don’t loft in the air quite like Rival rounds, so they’ll likely be harder to dodge, too. It also mystifies me why Hasbro produced paintball-like hoppers and pods for easy refills without giving them a way to mate.
With the Rush-40 pistol and Mach-100 SMG in particular, their shots almost immediately curve right down to the ground, forcing you to aim much higher than your target and rain balls down.Rate of fire, meanwhile, averaged between 3 and 4 balls per second, depending on how well the ammo feeds. It’s quite an odd feeling after using Rival for so long, where the backspin helped make for relatively straight and level shots.
