Unboxing the NERF Rival Apollo XV-700
Design of the NERF Rival Apollo XV-700 blaster
Equipped with an integrated magazine well and slide-action in its handle, the Apollo XV-700 blaster is the epitome of convenience. To ensure safety, there is a switch just above the trigger that keeps the blaster from firing when not in use. To make things even easier, the rear of the blaster features a priming indicator that glows orange when it’s ready to fire.
The later iteration of the Apollo was updated to feature an unjamming button on the left rear, giving users the ability to open the chamber and dislodge any jammed balls, enabling them to fire multiple rounds in quick succession.
Along the top of the blaster, a single tactical rail was also added. Although not the N-Strike type, the tactical rail featured on this blaster mimics those seen on real guns. You can still attach N-Strike attachments, although not in the most optimum way.
