They’re round like Nerf Rival ammo but about 1/3 of the size, which means you can fit more of the Hyper rounds into the blasters.

You’ll also get to reload faster thanks to large hoppers and reload canisters, sold separately, that attach to the Tactical Rails. Based on the speed, the weight, the diameter, and how much that disperses, you have to be under that KED number. The Hyper rounds hit harder (I asked friends to shoot me in the face), so it’s more obvious when you’ve been tagged. They are designed to increase the aim and range of your blaster considerably, making it much more effective in Nerf battles.It was Nerf that popularized the foam dart some 29 years ago, but the competition’s short darts and even full-lengths fly so much better than any projectile Hasbro has ever made. For its new awesome-looking Hyper blasters, Nerf brand owner Hasbro had something different in mind. The blasters use a new type of smaller round roughly half the size of standard RIVAL High-Impact Rounds.

When we first got those samples of the round and got closer to what we wanted, we were still getting into the final state of not being as tacky or sticky,” adding that it was “problematic” to keep them fluffed and loose.But Walmart seems perfectly happy to carry Dart Zone’s more powerful and accurate blasters, and without requiring bundled safety glasses. To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. But the primary safety mechanism was building a TPE pellet with the right squish, and the team admits that squish was a challenge for the blasters — which, remember, they had to develop simultaneously.
