This is the Hyperion rubber band gun from the company Super Impulse. They make different kinds of toys including the Precision RBS line which is their rubber band gun product line.
The Hyperion is the biggest RBS (rubber band system) in their line of products and probably the best value in my opinion as it can break down into a smaller pistol sized blaster as well (see my youtube review for more information about his and a demo of the blaster) as shoot 3 different sizes of rubber bands and it also features a 14 band burst shot.
I was able to pick this up a Toys R Us for ~$18. It's normal price seems to hoover around $25. I think it's definitely worth the $25 MSRP as it is built very nicely and is a lot of fun to shoot around with. The blaster has onboard storage to store all 3 sizes of rubber bands as well making reloading your blaster a cinch.

The Nerf Rival Khaos was the first fully automatic blaster introduced to the Rival line. This blaster carries an average MSRP of $70 but if you shop around you can find it on sale at times. I was lucky enough to get this during the Christmas holiday during a BOGO 1/2 off sale at my local Meijer and was able to use some other coupons alongside that in order to walk out the door with two Khaos blasters for a total of $85. Would I personally pay $70 for this blaster, probably not but that's for you to decide. Now on to the review.
This blaster requires 6 D size batteries to operate. Now with the price of D batteries this blaster becomes very expensive to use a lot as you will have to invest in the batteries. The price of batteries quickly turning you off from this blaster? Have no fear, there is an answer. The Nerf Rival rechargeable battery pack will not only save you money on batteries but also provides a nice little performance bump in the rate of fire category and also lightens the weight of the overall blaster a fair amount. For $30 this rechargeable battery is well worth it and pretty much a must have for the Khaos.
Now the Rival line is recommended for ages 14+. The size and weight of this blaster would probably become an issue for younger chidlren to operate. With this in mind the size of this blaster is great for the adult looking to join in on Nerf Wars with their children.
The magazine of blaster holds 40 Rival Rounds. Loading the magazine doesn't take long at all and with practice you will be able to reload it pretty fast as right now the only way to have extra magazines is buy buying another Khaos, but have no fear, Hasbro has said that we will be able to purchase magazines in March, which is much needed because with the rate of fire of this blaster you will quickly empty those 40 rounds.
The blaster has two flip up sights for aiming should you choose to use those but I find with Nerf blasters the best way to aim is just by watching where your shot goes and adjust that way as there are many factors that affect the accuracy of blasters that shoot darts or rival rounds.
