Glad to see others who have the same love for the knockout! The fate is nice, but not quite as versatile as the KO. I'd love it if Nerf took a page out of their playbook and re-released it in new colors, but I'm not holding my breath.

Everyone loves the Knockout because it's like, pure minimilaist without sacrificing build quality or range. Didn't know they were on sale for 5 bucks too. That's Alpha strike claw/fang money, and even that I would say is a great deal for a new thing. The Fate looks very fun too, and while I feel I would like it too, the Kronos is already my jam. Thanks for the in depth comparison, and I'm sure lots of stuff will come alive for this new line, if nothing else because they are so visually unique and tasty looking. There is also something hella cool about the Fate's moving angled barrel. Why isn't that a thing anywhere else?

Knockout right now is so hard to beat for the money, and easy to in-line clip. Fate has a great look and is comfy as heck. I would take a knockout with that little hopper over a Kronos! Hot take! :)

I was at WalMart at the weekend, no Knockouts at any price. Online they're currently $10 on Amazon, and the Fate is only $12.59, so not a lot of difference. I prefer the grip and less blade-like trigger on the Fate, but the Knockout is always going to hold a special place in my heart. I'm surprised you got such low fps on the Fate, mine shoots a bit harder than the Knockout and a little bit further. I like the ball storage on the Knockout so I added kits from the FoamPro shop which attach to the rail underneath.

Huh, weird on the FPS. Maybe bad luck? It shoots nice and straight anyway. That $5 deal was too good to pass up.

Thank you so much! It’s coming along! I have no complaints, there are some awesome regular commenters to the channel and lots of people like yourself saying nice things, so I’m happy :) But I really appreciate the note.

I love my Fate. Swapped spring with 2 coils more k25 and removed the air restrictor. Not it shoots Rival at 137fps average. I'm waiting for the Worker short dart Talon mag kit. If it shoots Rival at 137, what are short darts going to fly at? Can't wait!

Nice! I haven't modded the spring in any of mine! Sorry this reply is 8 months late lol.

Now do the pilot vs knockout

The blue balls do still unfortunately absorb water, just not as fast. They also fade in the sun. The 'membrane' I think is just smaller pores, but they do wipe clean more easily which is nice. Regarding accuracy, maybe over longer distances, but like you I haven't detected any obvious improvement. Certainly not worth ditching all your old yellow rival balls.
