That's understandable, but once you have used enough of varieties of blasters, you will find that retaliator has very good accuracy and consistency compared to the others.

For example, there really is no reason to choose stock retaliator over an stock elite alpha trooper. The EAT is better in most way, pump action, slam fire and has similar internals. But when it comes to moddability, it is severely limited.

It really makes me wonder why the mod community place a high regard for the retaliator. Maybe it's sentimental. After all it is the Recon's successor haha.

Deal, I'm taking both. Can PM for further discussion?

Imo, retaliator is something muat have if you collect nerf, because everyone has one. Because of that, it has more mod stuff, because everyone wants their retaliator to be different /better.

Retaliator also cheapest clip blaster (inm), compare to slingfire, you have more attachment.

EAT is harder to find.

Lucky you...huhu

Can sell me the blue stryfe? Hehe

nope, still not convinced . mod-ability wise, retaliator is just better because it has lots of attachments. the base gun itself is just a slow pistol. you cant really mod the base gun any better than you can with any other blasters.

tried and owned many blasters since the n-strike days. never liked the recon. no real reason to like retaliator. the one i like most these days are the rough cut and flip fury. i think the flip fury actually shoots harder than a strongarm, although they share the same internal.

i do mostly office war, so clip fed, even though cool, is not really practical in the environment.

Well yeah, at the end of the day I suppose it always come down to the personal preference and the type of game you are playing.

If you use front loaders in a nerf war on the field, you will get shred by mag-fed and flywheeler. Everyone is carrying extra mags so the pros of front loader becomes irrelevant. Only pros of front loader is being able to scavenge and reload the darts on the fly. Which I can actually do almost the same with a flip kit.

I've used retaliator and stryfe during yesterday game. And strangely I prefer the retaliator more. Not to say stryfe is bad but lol maybe I'm not used to flywheel. Sidearm can be either.

The flip kit is a really good idea. Can reload while ready to shoot.. Maybe i should design one..hehehe

i use the modulus flip clip with my stryfe. works great. nothing a duct tape can't do though . i think you can pretty much just design a universal clipping mechanism. that way, you use it with existing clips. then add some dart holders on the side. man, that would be bad arse.

I already got the base design. Just need to tweak the sizing a bit.

How much is the blue stryfe..
Mmmmm

Hmm lol I just did a minor mod and the Retaliator is now operating buttery smooth
Simply saying, just lube up the plastic moving parts and sanding+smoothing off a few parts.

1 of the most common issue with Retaliator, or perhaps every others blasters with similar internals is that they some times shred the dart near the tips. This sucks a lot as it prematurely destroy fresh darts and causes jam in your blaster.
I did a few and quick sanding and it solved the problem effectively without any drawback.



here's a few picture to describe the issue.

Here is the issue with the dart guide on the breech (or however you call it). As you can see, a stock one has very sharp edge and it cuts the dart easily whenever the dart is not being positioned properly or should I say, perfectly. This can due to bad darts, darts not being loaded properly into the mag and etc etc whatever the reason is, it should not shred the dart.




So the fix, is just simply sand off the sharp and pointy corners, and smooth it off to give a smooth angle that it will have no chance to shred the darts at all.



Believe it or not, after doing this mod, I've fired over a 100 darts and there was zero jam, and zero darts being shred like the first picture. Not sure if you can see it from the picture below but year, the dart guide no longer have its sharp edge pushing against the dart anymore.





Hopefully you guys find this information useful and if you need more information or a guide, please let me know

This is pretty much the reason why I use a flip kit with Stryfe lol.

Morning everyone, good to see this thread active.

awyongcarl , tq on the tips on how to make retaliator better. I've stopped playing with it because the chewing dart problem. Thought mine is lemon. However, slingfire doesn't have (maybe less) this problem.

strikermac , seems like the newer blaster didn't interest me. Too ridonkculous. Haha

some clip fed have that problem. not really specific to retaliator, more on QC issue me thinks. it's probably just tolerance level on the measurements. my longshot does that only when i use old crooked darts.

Yes indeed. Seen "Zombie" series is way too over...
Other series still acceptable at least very futuristic.
But the problem is all of them should be expensive cuz is big.
And the Doomland series, I think is because the "DOOM" games influence,
all the Doomland series look likely like gaming weapons.

I like the ICS, don't know why. Same as why i loved the speedload6. Not front loading, and no clip. Can reload while on standby.

I don't understand why they put camera on non-auto blaster. Priming the blaster action will make the video less watchable compare to automatic blaster

For zombie strike series, why don't they just make an oversized/overpowered looking blaster base on normal elite like 8x8 version of roughcut (looks like missile battery). Hehehe

That Battlescout ICS-10 sure is the HD camera make it become expensive.
But really like you said the camera record should be shacking and blur... hahaha...
And may be can attach the camera to other auto blaster have a try.

Ooooo Kena repair semua Retailator aku lam kotak ni

Better buy go-pro camera. Can use for other stuff. Action camera, hd is secondary, priority is speed.
