I'm so happy to see Hasbro bringing Rival back cause they really did get rid of something awesome. I have no doubt in my mind that the return of rival is to combat the fact that the hardcore scene is moving to Dart-Zone and other manufacturers that make blasters of similar, if not better quality, for a much more affordable price point.

Rival didn't go away. Hasbro released Rival blasters in 2021, right along side the Hyper blasters that were supposedly "killing rival". Considering that toy development can take a few years, they were designing this at the same time they were finalizing Hyper. Why would a company discontinue a product line that is still profitable in favor of a brand new product line, of which they have no idea how it will be received by the public? Go to the grocery store, how many salad dressings do you see from just one company? How about spaghetti sauces? How many different flavored and diet versions of Coca-Cola exist? Companies create a diversity in their products, because it is profitable for every man, woman and child to point at their individual favorite and say, "That's the one for me." Anyway, I totally agree with your excitement about new Rival blasters.

Rival never died, people kept saying it did because of Hyper, but Rival releases never even stopped. These were being designed roughly the same time Hyper was released, so I doubt they were ever intending to kill it.

I still stand by what I said about the Vision for a practical primary sidearm. The Fate would make for a good last ditch single-shot if you need something along those lines, but there's too much involved in reloading it in terms of moving parts and the lack of a magazine system to truly make it practical. In short, the Fate is not a... Grand Order.

it would have been neat if the accurival line used a reverse of the curveshot gimmick and found a way to make some sort of free floating hop up tab that stayed level to ground, thus actually making the guns actually more accurate because even shot at an angle, the magnus effect would keep the balls flying straight

I wasn't very interested in the Fate until you showed it can be primed without opening the breech. If the blaster can be primed reliably, without opening the breech, it gives me hope to mod it with an rscb for short darts. If not, I wonder if an external switch can be added and have the breech release decoupled from the priming.

Too bad we can't use the lock n load's independent slide return in something like the fate. Shoot, then a return spring opens the breech right after shooting (since the plunger spring is quicker than a return spring), then T-pull shuts the breech and primes the blaster. Might make sense or just be a neat idea.

Agree on the sad lack of onboard ammo storage circles. They could've put two on each side (assuming nothing underneath all that blank blue would interfere) and that would've added the opportunity to have two large bulging fun yellow dots on each side. The lack of those little round press-fit ammo keepers on most Rival blasters is an annoying head-scratcher. The Saturn has tons of room for them as does the Kronos. Really they should have been just a ubiquitous part of the design language of Rival. Bummer. Thanks for the vid Drac.
