Nerf Shrunk Its Balls for a New Line of More Powerful Blasters You'll Rarely Have to Reload - Gizmodo

The inconvenience improved with Nerf’s Rival line, which debuted in 2015, but for 2021 the company is introducing a new Hyper line of blasters that fire smaller foam balls so you’ll be spending even less time reloading.

The reduced size of the Nerf Hyper ammo means a hopper or a magazine has four times the capacity than it would have with Nerf Rival rounds.

Instead, sometime in 2021, Nerf will be launching the Hyper line with three blasters to start: the $30 Nerf Hyper Rush-40 featuring a pistol design and a 40-shot hopper, the $40 Nerf Hyper Siege-50 with a 50-shot capacity and a pump-action shotgun design, and the fully automatic $70 Nerf Hyper Mach-100 that uses D-sized batteries to quickly empty its 100-shot hopper if you keep the trigger pulled.
