Review: The KRONOS is an industry mainstay - 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.
Review: Nerf - Bought it for my kid he loves the color of the gun. Really light weight to play the speed of the toy is really fast for a small toy the sound quality is really great. Overall 5 stars of fun and is really great for a gift for a kid.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: There aren't any instructions in the box, and my son can't get the nerf gun to work. How do we figure out what to do?**
A: Pull back on the slide, the area on top of the blaster, above the pistol grip.  Flip open the orange door in front of the slide.  Insert up to 5 Rival balls into the opening.  Close the door and push the slide forward.  The blaster will now be ready to fire a round.  Pull back the slide and push it forward to fire the next round.  Continue until all 5 rounds have been fired, then repeat the loading steps.

**Q: Does it need batteries**
A: Nope

**Q: How far will the balls go?**
A: About 90 -100 feet

**Q: How fast is shipping?**
