First released in 2015, the Nerf RIVAL line fires high impact rounds instead of the typical foam darts. These blasters were also oriented at team play (Blue and Red), in which their designs reflect. Sure, the Helix XXI-2000 RIVAL can fire high impact rounds at around 90 ft/s, while letting you to choose the curvature of your projectile (Left, Right, Straight or Down), but when you want something even more extreme, Dutch engineer Emiel has the answer.
To start things off, he basically had to ditch the factory blaster in order to transform it into a ball launching rifle. The lower receiver was pieced together first before machining a custom pneumatic mechanism that loads a ball into the chamber and then launches it. This allows for it to function in both single-shot and fully-automatic mode. A barrel was then manufactured alongside the stock.
