5.0 out of 5 stars QC isn't great but when it works it works.
Reviewed in the United States on January 10, 2024
I bought a few of these and one of them most likely had a defect in manufacturing as getting it to shoot cleanly was impossible as it took 2 times pulling back the slide and only traveled at like 10 fps when shot. I tried opening it and couldn't find any obvious issues. The ones that do work are great and shoot with a high enough velocity to to sting if getting hit anywhere. It is kind of hard to pull back as it is spring action, so it probably isn't recommended for kids less than 10 (age rating is 14+).

5.0 out of 5 stars The KRONOS is an industry mainstay
Reviewed in the United States on July 25, 2023
I love the Kronos. It's super reliable, and the ergonomics are great. I own five of them (2 red, 1 blue, one shark design, and this green one).
If you don't own any RIVAL guns and you're interested in getting into the hobby, the Kronos is an excellent entry-level blaster. And if you decided that you want to buy a more competitive blaster after that, the Kronos makes an excellent sidearm.
When I bought this green Kronos it was defective, but the seller replaced it immediately. Great customer service.
==========================================
UPDATE: I have now purchased 12 different NERF RIVAL Kronos blasters. While I love the aesthetics of the new custom paint jobs that launched in 2022 (shark, teal, and green), I have sadly seen a sharp decline in the quality of the product. 7 of my Kronos blasters were purchased in the original red or blue form. Of those 7 blasters, 7 of of them work great. But I've purchased the new teal model twice, and one of them was so defective the ammo goes about two feet before hitting the ground. I bought two green ones, and it was the same story: one defective, one fine. I purchased the shark model, and it worked fine for a few months, but became fairly inconsistent after that.
So if you haven't purchased a Kronos before, I'd recommend only getting one of the original red or blue models. They are certainly more expensive, but they're also much less likely to be a defective lemon. My review score for those original models is still 5 stars, but the new paint jobs are more like a 2 star product. Very very sad.

5.0 out of 5 stars Definitely more intense and impressive nerf gun
Reviewed in the United States on February 6, 2024
I got this as a gift for a kid for Christmas. They sent us videos of them laughing and playing with it and it was crazy impressive!

Quality:
This nerf gun definitely has some bite to it's bark if you know what I mean. This thing shoots far and hard! It is perfect for an older kid that wants a step up from his average nerf gun. Think an in between for a nerf gun and a bb gun. He is 10 and he loves this thing! His friends also think it is really cool. My husband and him will have nerf gun wars with it and my husband even enjoys them (he is 28).

Price:
The price point is great considering you get a better nerf gun for the price of a normal nerf gun! Super reasonable and I think it makes a great gift for the kids in your lives. If I received it as a gift, I would think it was more expensive than it actually is.

The media could not be loaded.
 The ones that function are a lot of fun. I ended up ordering 7 and 5 of them work great. 2 were defective out of the box and don't fire. One looked like it had previously been opened, had no instructions, and had a ball in the barrel already. I took one apart and the air cylinder is out of round causing most of the air to leak around the plunger causing the gun to either not fire or the ball to be extremely low velocity.

1.0 out of 5 stars 90fps? Try maybe 8fps
Reviewed in the United States on December 13, 2023
My boys and I have played nerf wars with friends a few times. The rival guns we used/borrowed have shot really well. So I bought 2 of these for both boys. Both guns when fired is actually more like the ball just rolls out of the barrel. It's not shot with any amount of force or distance. I have the Amazon exclusive Kronos XVIII version here. Might be a glitch, but again I have 2 of them and both are horrible. I'm going to return them, I think I'm getting around 3-5 feet in total shooting distance.

Update: I purchase 2 different models (NERF Rival Fate XXII-100). While these guns only have a single round capacity, they shoot with much greater force. The difference is night and day. These guns also use a slightly harder ball (blue version) which is general is a better shot. But I can confirm these shoot the regular yellow rival balls better as well. The other positive to this particular gun is that my 6yr and 8yr boys found it much easier to chamber the round. Something about the mechanic of this gun just make it easier for them to pull back on.

5.0 out of 5 stars Strong
Reviewed in the United States on April 20, 2024
Very good quality and very strong nerf gun. Watch out! My 4 year old packs some serious firepower when he is holding this. I have to turn into Superman when he aims this at my wife’s plants because it is strong enough to knock down and/or break the plant vases. Tip: Buy 2. These don’t do well in the wild by themselves and need a sibling in case someone else in the room needs to fire back
