Whatever brand especially non-nerf brand competitors, they need to come up with more scifi or futuristic guns, pistols & rifles to capture wider range customers. Well, these sci fi futuristic guns would resembles guns from sci fi movies rather than real world firearms therefore they are legal with fancy colour. For those sci fi fans, we would buy them and have them painted in military standard black, sci fi colour or cammo paints.

About the clip, I only can find 2 of them at local online shop, but not N-Strike Elite 18-Dart Clip, is other blaster clip.
But I think it still compatible with Elite 18, cuz Nerf clip always same except the Mega, Soaker and Vortex series.
Have a look then. Good Luck to you. thumbup.gif

n-strike clips will fit most n-strike guns, elite or not. some elite models does have issues with older clips(pre-elite), but usually still usable with some simple mod.

and no, i don't think the 18 darts clip has ever reached our shores as accessories. if it did, it must've been sold old out pretty quick. the best chance for clips now are those modulus clips, but they're are way overpriced IMO doh.gif .

yup hammershot is waaaaayyyyy overpriced here. it supposed to be only a few dollars more than strongarms and cheaper than rough cut. but you can almost get 2 rough cut with the price of a hammershot here. i wonder who's the genius doing the price conversion doh.gif .

Thanks

Still didn't know whether it will fit nicely or not... After checking, only do cosmetic stuff.

To make it smooth, can't use sandpaper, need acetone vapour (quite dangerous). A better option is using putty to fill in the uneven parts, then only sand it to make it smooth.

The Hammershot is a really nice blaster. It's very easy to handle and can fire with one hand. Only thing is if you're willing to pay the steep price for it...

retaliator is only good for the attachments.

hammershot is probably being recalled because it has been a shelf warmer for far too long.

it's only USD2 more than strongarm, so MYR 90 is still expensive for it. sweat.gif

on other notes, the new doomlands line seems interesting. thumbup.gif

The news from other country is it release the Elite version. hmm.gif
But dun know when will it release at MY & SG.
Have a look the review video below, almost all things are same except color.

the longshot already has a direct plunger system, plus the biggest plunger tube around. its only flaws were bad air seal and stupid restrictor(easily mod-able). if they improve/change that part, it might be worth buying the elite version. unlike that zombie strike LS which is basically the old LS minus parts, mag & attachment.

edit: just watched the review, they didn't even bother to improve the front gun shakehead.gif . coop772 has already said the rest. nod.gif

Ya, most of the review shoot this Zombie Strike LS is the worst remake.
And most of the review website said not worth it.
So if the Elite version release, still a great blaster all-time I think.

only if you do the basic mods. stock LS isn't that great compared to the current elite blasters, performance wise. and not to mention this re-release would definitely warrant a much higher price.

although i would say the clicking and clacking of the LS is the most awesome amongst the n-strike blaster. almost like music laugh.gif .

too slow for office war. you need strongarm or rough cut for that. laugh.gif

plus, clip system takes longer to load(unless you have lots of clips preloaded). you can't just pick up your opponents' darts and turn the tide.

also, stock strongarm & rough cut outrange a stock longstrike & longshot. a modded longshot is a different story nod.gif .

For playing in office, I would also agree with Zeroglyph on the strongarm, not too big and not too small. But I still prefer jolt for office use, small, not too conspicuous, and no need lot of dart.

But if you like sniper kinda blaster, how about retaliator? Can put on the barrel and stock for nice rifle appearance or take both out for smaller blaster.

also, consider hammershot, if you can get it lower than retails. retails price is ridiculous, unless you absolutely have to have it.

stryfe is good too, but lack range and uses clip. slam fire > flywheel when i comes to office war laugh.gif .

Agree. Disc blaster looks cooler than most dart blaster. I prefer futuristic/toy looking blaster compare to realistic ones. Thats why I loved the swarmfire design.

Hi all, new to Nerf and bought the Star wars Deluxe blaster just because it's a Star Wars blaster lol, pretty fun shooting it cause it doesn't cause harm to anything.

Anyway, where can I buy the mag for it? I'm looking for a 6 darts mag, the 12 mag is too bulky.

Is it the same orange colour as the non SW blaster? FB are selling at rm10-15. The 12 dart clip is more expensive. Practically, not many like the 6 dart clip because you will ran out ammo really quick. Hehe

i hate retaliator. my alt choice would be stryfe  brows.gif . really mod friendly.
retaliator is only good for the attachments.
hammershot is probably being recalled because it has been a shelf warmer for far too long.

it's only USD2 more than strongarm, so MYR 90 is still expensive for it. sweat.gif

on other notes, the new doomlands line seems interesting.  thumbup.gif
*
The rebelle version similar to hammershot is slightly cheaper. RM106 with holster & sunglasses. Need a paint job to look cooler. but some ppl agree that it is more ergonomic and sleeker. There is another blaster with similar priming and less expensive, rebelle 4 victory. But it has only 4 non rotating barrels. Still better than doublestrike with only 2 barrells.

This dart set is rm10 each, but no blaster, only rebelle blaster with about 30% discount

Damn. This is very very addictive. After buying the SW Stormtrooper blaster, I went and buy a Retaliator. Have a can of krylon paint lying around so...

Now I feel like buying more lol. Was thinking to get the Mega Cycloneshock. Seems pretty cool.

To be honest I think all the nerf blasters are very well detailed, just need to do some custom painting and detailing to bring them out.

No price label, they asked me to bring it to the service counter to check the price. But I was in a bit hurry, so i didn't check ^__^v But they have quite a lot of stock for that model.
And also this barrel break. Forgot to mention in my previous post.

i'm not saying you're propagating old news(sorry if you think that). new stuff always get to our shores late. the sonic fire series probably just reached our shores, albeit it being a 2014 series.

in other words, i'm just saying, "well, finally it made it here, after 1 year!" hmm.gif

But yea, have to wait up to 1 year is not fun. And now it's end of 2015 some more. And plus, some items become much more expensive when they arrived here.

Thank you!

I am not so sure what do you mean by inner barrel of the barrel o.O
If you mean, the barrel attachment and the orange colored barrel inside, I left that untouched, thought it will set a nice contract between the white/black/orange theme.

If you mean, literally the inner side of the barrel where the darts travel, no I don't paint that. It will probably cause malfunction to the blaster lol, darts will not be able to shoot properly with all the paint's particles and rough surface.

you mean the muzzle? The one that has the flip-up sight? If that one that can be detached easily once you open up the barrel attachment, then you just see what you would like to do with it lol

Anyway, was strolling at 1U Aeon and then they have a 10% discount. And somehow I just grabbed something home. Jesus man, like this everytime I walk into a mall I will have some Nerf products following me home rclxub.gif

Grabbed the Steath Ops Modulus cause I really want the Reflex sight. It doesn't really serve it purpose as a sight, but 9/10 for the tacticool factor. Oh and apparently there is a promo going on when you purchase above RM140, you will get a set of darts. I thought of getting the Suction 35 darts but then they have this cool digital darts, last one so I just grabbed that.

Forget about the Sonic series, they looks kinda crappy and the clear plastic is probably a lot weaker than the non-transparent 1. Anyway, went to TRU in MV just now, their inventory is kinda small, didn't see longshot, retaliator, rampage etc. I think thus far the biggest TRU I've seen and been to is the one in IPC Ikea.

Feels like buying the ECS-10 but it's too expensive lol, tho I can totally imagine that it will look real good after painting it. And by the way, is the ECS-10 a TRU exclusive at the moment? Aeon/Isetan sell the modulus expansion kit but never seen any ECS-10.

I find it real weird though. Maybe I have missed it or something. I remember seeing abundance amount of Retaliator and the Sonic ice in Paradigm, 1U and IPC's TRU. But none at the MV's? lol

In MV though, I think they just brought in the Sonic fire strongarm so there are like really a whole bunch of them on the shelves today.

Hmm think I'll buy some white paint. Next nerf blaster paint will be white with black weathering. Just wondering which blaster to get. Longshot or ECS-10. The mega Magnus looks cool too, but at that price of RM67+, might as well just add like 15more bucks to get the Cycloneshock.

The reissue longshot is an exclusive IINM. Wallmart or something. So you wont see it in major retailer here. With the current elite design, a stock LS really sucks, not worth it.

Most of the older stuff probably have been recalled to make room for new stuff.

TRU dont have everything. For example spectre was only available in metrojaya the last i saw it. Hasbro spread out the distribution for whatever reason. Also value pack raider, which was only available in carrefour.

Oooh cool, I'm actually looking for the Mega Centurion but couldn't find it at any TRU lol. Oh well.
And yeah, the Longshot available here is the very old yellow version, box says shoot up to 10m LOL.

Anyway, just got this and hand itchy and had to do something to it. Not very happy with the Ivory color, though sad.gif
Most likely will repaint it with something else.

Gotta say though, the Cycloneshock is one hell of a handcannon, shoots very well and can feel the impact lol.

the centurion was actually sold in TRU. i guess it got recalled, same as the hammershot. review on it was not too promising though.

the reissue longshot is exactly the same mould. even have the "2006" stamp on it. sweat.gif

Recalled? Why?

Yeah I read bunch of review on Centurion and others than it look super cool, it's pretty pointlessly huge haha. Oh well, I guess there isn't much "rifle-like" nerf blaster around here eh? Oh btw I saw Blazefire in IPC's TRU. RM169.90, no one in the right mind will pay that LOL

By the way, I have also notice there is a new batch of Mega Magnus in MV. The package now says shoots up to 95 feet. And on the shelves there are still some old stock that says shoot up to 85 feet. Is there some real different between the two? Cause I am actually kinda interested to pick up a Magnus.

Thanks! It is very very addictive to turn something from a toy into something that looks like a futuristic weapon haha.

So guys..out of curiosity and purely for cosmetic reason, I bought a Crossbolt. Looks pretty interesting, should be even better after painting, I think I'll keep the blue theme this time heh.

Anyway, this thing is an ergonomic disaster, it's completely catastrophic and absolutely the WORST blaster ever I've ever used (Well not that I used a lot of this is really bad). It literally destroy your hand especially the wrist area shooting this blaster.

It shoots fine, pretty interesting with the power band dart launching mechanism but it is also not very reliable, especially when it jammed, it's gonna be a major PITA to remove the jammed dart. And it also worn down the foam darts rather quickly. The dart foam deformed very quickly using Crossbolt. Also destroyed couple of my darts lol.

It does however shoot a little bit harder than my Retaliator. But accuracy and reliability, Retaliator is way better.
Conclusion, do not get this unless you like it for novelty and cause you just like how it looks like.

Regarding using 'string type bow' blaster, yes, i agreed it just lame, not much fun, inaccurate and also damaging the darts. I've bought a rebelle diamondista for my daughter, and she dislike it, prefer to play with strongarm

Luckily bought it for rm14.

I wouldn't say its lame, it's a great idea but badly executed. I would say, if they make this blaster a little big bigger, easier on the grips and less stupid mag release/thumbhole design and it will be one hell of a blaster lol

In fact, the Blazefire is EXACTLY the same as the Crossfire Bow. And I mean, 100%. The bow arms on Crossfire bow isn't even functional, it's purely for cosmetic reason they put the arms there. You can 100% use the Crossfire bow without the bow arm, as the Crossfire Bow are using plunger so it is a standard springer. You can cut the string and just don't attach the arm, and tadaa, you have a Blazefire. The biggest joke? TRU is selling Zombie Strike Crossfire bow for RM89.90, and the Blazefire for RM169.90. You pay RM80 more but you get less. Seriously what are they smoking up there lol.

My next project is actually buying the Crossfire Bow, leave the bow arm unattached and repaint it.

Yep, definitely. Hasbrooo. Or rather, maybe it's just Hasbrooooo Malaysia. lol
Anyway, will get into the Crossfire bow soon after I'm done with the crossbolt. Or unless I sien with Crossbolt, then I will start with Crossbow fire first biggrin.gif

Definitely will leave it stock internally though, don't plan to mod its performance haha.

the crossfire bow sucks big time. i have 2 of them in the office and i'd take a strongarm anyday, better yet, a rough cut.

for the pricing, yeah it's just hasbro malaysia. they just price things as they like and not following the actual price set by hasbro. according to hasbro's approx retail:
strongarm: 12.99
hammershot: 14.99
stryfe: 19.99
rough cut: 19.99
crossfire bow: 19.99
flip fury: 19.99
cyclone shock: 19.99
vagabond: 29.99
lawbringer: 34.99

using these figures as the "price scale", some stuff sold here are just not worth getting for its price. doh.gif

After search uncle Google in AirAsia, have a read.
http://www.airasia.com/id/en/baggage-info/...rous-goods.page

Restricted items
You may not carry the following items into the security restricted area and in your hand luggage:
Toys guns/gun shaped items or look-alikes, hand-cuffs

So I think it mean check in luggage should be fine... may be...
And the check in luggage didn't say Toy guns is illegal.

But BTW, safety first lah... Postage will 100% fine.

I think better buy at local, or buy with local web seller.
Outside other country nerf product is always USD convert,
and with high postage fee.
Even buy at China TaoBao after plus postage fee...
the price nearly same as buy at local...

yup, agreed. price+postage kills it. especially if it's western. also do note, that some countries have a weaker spring installed. orange vs grey trigger thing.

does anyone recall the price for flip fury? planning a new barrel loading blaster to replace my old maverick. it's vagabond vs flip fury at the moment. strongarm is not interesting enough, too much play time with it already laugh.gif .

BTW, last time after YouTuber review the Recon MKII blaster,
and found out clip compatibility issue...
Here come some news from Hasbro,
http://nerf.about.com/od/Nerf/fl/Continuou...-Philosophy.htm

What Hasbro said:
"The MODULUS RECON MKII Blaster underwent extensive testing during the development process, as do all NERF products, and the clip compatibility issue was not discovered during this process. However, we have since received feedback from product testers noting their experience with the accessory’s incompatibility due to the blaster design. We appreciate such feedback from NERF Nation, and as a result we are addressing this by adjusting blaster production which should prevent the issue in the future. In addition, fans that have experienced this issue firsthand will be encouraged to contact our customer support team who will happily work with them to resolve the problem, offering a replacement blaster core for those made during the original production dates. Our goal, as always, is to ensure that all NERF fans have the best possible play experience with their blasters!"

Also just bought a white Diatron. Loved the design.

Roughcut really solid blaster. The priming and trigger much better than retaliator.

I'm quite sceptical in the vortex blaster at first. Now after playing with the Diatron, it's fun. Fly farther and more accurate. The downside is the disc easier to goes under furniture when playing indoor... Haha

agreed, rough cut is really underrated. the trigger mechanism puts it ahead of strongarm and most other blasters.

Not recommend Praxis, cuz the mechanize no good as Pyragon and Revonix 360.
Cuz it was the disc system prototype product, after that they do the new and better type.
And the shoulder stock is very weak... juz 2 plastic sticks handle all... doh.gif
That why I sold out my Praxis long time ago. So get Pyragon and Revonix 360 if still stock. brows.gif
If u want to find the green series Vortex, recommend u get Nitron is better.

Not really a mod, just make a connector and connect both rails. Seems like the Diatron shape made it easier because no need to cut anything. Hehehe

They don't consider the price, makes it unfair to compare a RS to strongarm...For me, Strongarm is the best when consider the price. Next is Stryfe.

Hmm Rampage huh...I have a Stormtrooper deluxe blaster that's basically a Rampage reshell, I wonder if I can upgrade the spring to bring it up to the Elite-range.

Honestly speaking, the Stormtrooper deluxe blaster is very nice to use, smooth operation and I never had a jam with it before and it's ergonomically superior.

in my case, it never crossed my mind that nerf would come up with the elite line, with its awesome direct plunger system and more effective air restrictor. i thought they would stay with the lame reverse plunger. so i gave up & decided to sell most of my stuff except maverick and longshot. to my surprise....... sweat.gif

haha...you should try the old whistler and suction darts, pre-elite darts. they work with elites too. those are real fun. the suction darts sticks to nearly anything, better than elite suction. great for playing with the kids.

the whistlers are the smaller version of the mega whistlers. works even better with elite blasters.

Yes, suction are fun. My swarmfire uses that, else it will troublesome to collect all the 20 darts.

Got couple if whistler too from hasbro sale, loved the sound it makes, and colour also (easier to collect). Haha.

What I like about the blaster
The blaster is very comfortable for me as an adult (176cm). The battery bay is large which gives potential for for a lot of mods/ battery packs. There's plenty of space for an Arduino which would open up lots of new features such as 3 round burst mode, leds, ammo counters etc.

I like the grip and the triggers they are all very nice once lubed up with teflon. I replaced my trigger spring with a slightly firmer spring i had but that is just my personal preference. The stock springs are pretty dammned nice in the first place.

user posted image

What I don't like about the Blaster.
In stock form the CS-18 is kinda whimpy especially when compared to the springers like the Retaliator. And with 4 C batteries it is HEAVY!. The semi auto thing also jams a lot which is very annoying. But a LiPo mod and the semi auto delete fixes all those so i dont really care much about that. And the batteries last a whole day and more.

user posted image

My Conclusion
This blaster is rad. With multiple magazines this thing is a beast. In stock form however its pretty soft with a very low rate of fire like 2-3 darts per second. And C batteries are pretty dammned expensive.

Cheers and Nerf On,
NerfMan

My Nerf N-Strike Longstrike CS-6 is almost 3 years now, got it on Christmas last time. Anyone knows how to mod it for better performance? I checked some YouTube videos, not sure if those performance parts are sold around here.

It's probably one of the longest Nerf guns around but it doesn't shoot far, quite disappointing.

Hey Buddy,
At the very least you could take out the air restrictors (A.R) and seal up the plunger tube with 2 part epoxy. The plunger tube would benefit from some good rubbing with silicon grease or teflon grease to increase the seal.

You would need a dremel to remove the A.R completely. Thats how i do it anyway. These mods don't require any expensive "performance parts" and should give you some noticeable gains. Also throw away the barrel. It only reduces range. You can also take out all of the stupid safetys inside while you are at it as well.

Cheers

Hmm I youtubed a video and the guy drilled a hole at the air restrictor area. Another mod is putting a heavier load spring. Looks pretty hard to do for me, just afraid I mess up since I'm bad at DIY stuff lol

Thanks for the tips by the way, will try to do it one day when I'm brave enough.

Haha yeah hopefully. The performance is also sub elite range lol, around 60 fps only. Quite disappointing really, but I just love the look of it and hopefully the internal upgrade is same as retaliator.

The ion fire is sooooo disappointing man, single Shooting breech loader and the average fps is only 58!?

Okay so..I bought a second Retaliator, thought of doing some internal mods this time.
And also out of curiosity I wanted to know if the AR removal really improved the performance of it.

I had my first Retaliator's AR removed and thought it shoots pretty okay, but never had a chance to do a comparison so I didn't know if it actually improved or not.

Now with the new Retaliator, all stock, it shoots better and harder than my old retaliator without the AR! What the hell? lol

So now my question is, does removing the AR for a direct plunger improve or worsen the performance? Somehow I feel removing the AR has worsened the performance lol. Perhaps the AR removal is only beneficial when you use stronger spring. I have already ordered the Retaliator kit from Orange Mod Works and they are on the way. Will find out soon enough.

But right now, hell yes I love Retaliator, it just shoots so much better than the flywheels (I have a stryfe). Maybe until I decided to mod the Stryfe, I will always prefer the Retaliator. It's just so satisfying to prime and feel the triggers pull, all the mechanical working etc, rather than just the faux trigger for the switch in a flywheels.

I think of 2 reason, one, the old retaliator spring already worn out, two, due to manufacturing tolerance, the older one are at the bottom part, while the new one at the upper part ofthe tolerance band.

I think is because of tolerance... Or you getting a 'lemon'.

Either that or the AR actually helps to focused air.

I am inclined to think that the AR removal only helps when a stronger spring is used. Stock spring doesn't take advantage of the AR removal.

actually removing the AR from the elite line doesn't really increase anything by much. the AR of the elite blasters are much more superior than that of the old n-strike. it provide better air seal to eject the darts w/o actually restricting the air flow.

from my own experience, a stock strongarm fires more consistently that a strongarm with the AR removed.

so in shorts, there is no real reason to remove the AR from an elite spring blaster.

a better mod path would be plunger o-ring replacement and better spring.

it jams when you fire too fast, same as the longshot. i think all the older n-strikes are like that, unless it has slam fire.

other than that, it's working great. better performance with elite darts. good for shooting your kids. laugh.gif

i just arranged a cod with the seller. maybe that's the last unit sweat.gif .

most flywheel blasters are crap, yes. they just don't have the punch. except stryfe, but that's because it has a small profile.

i've tried my stryfe with 2x li-ion and 2-cell lipos. at full rev, it'll get pretty close to an elite springer range. lipos, with its high C rating, will get to full rev quicker though = better rof. just some modding comments nod.gif .

Stryfe is the best value flywheel imo.

Would loved to have the rapidstrike but the price is too expensive, might as well buy the demolisher.

You can use Gundam markers for small bits. The gold marker is really good.

Maybe you can try to make the priming slide brushed metal colour, looks nicer imo.

Video Link Rapidstrike Firing Full Auto

The semi auto feature on the rapidstrike jams a lot which is very annoying.

My solution: Rewire for full auto only, throw in a 7.4v LiPo and call it a day.

Yes, the flashing lights still works. Felt like real guns flashing when firing. Performance not as good as the newer blaster. But really nice for display.

yeah, my bad. it needs C batt. you can still just rewire the batt compartment with a lipo adapter.

to use li-ion, you will need a AA to C converter. no need for dummy cells, just short the empty compartment with a wire.

i think it's the same as maverick. the blue ones never reached our shores, only the yellow ones.

performance wise, can't blame it, pretty much similar to maverick. cool if you can still get those n-strike glow darts. definitely looks awesome when fired in the dark thumbup.gif .

Oh man the Rapidstrike is one of the best Blaster I've ever own to date lol, and not for the performance reason, simply just because its build quality and the feeling of firing a full-auto blaster. I still very much prefer Semis like Modulus/Demolisher.

My rapidstrike now. Tacticool but that barrel kills the range like nobody business lol. It's kinda useless now with the barrel attached.

I don't have one and to design it in sketch up based on picture alone is harder, since need to guess the size and proportion.

And finishing of 3d print is not as smooth, unless you sand it down.

Yup, I did this before to order "Worker Stock" part for my nerf blaster at TaoBao.
As long it only plastic parts, not the real gun parts is ok.

omg I want that rampage!

Anyway, painted up my Stryfe XD with matching Steath Ops Modulus kit.
Looks pretty cool I thought. At first the asymmetrical design is a huge turn off but I guess the good stock performance (better than Modulus/Demolisher) due to the short barrel design that allow me to shoot a 15x15cm target from 10 feet away with tight grouping makes me really like it a lot!

This will be my first flywheel blaster project. Gonna buy some soldering tools soon heh.

I'm afraid it was just a fraud. I also tried on his previous ads. Same picture, same name, different area, different prices.
From one number he used on the ads, he replied that the item was already sold out.

Finally got my hand on the Ion Fire.

Out of the box performance is mediocre at best, not up to the elite range and very honestly speaking, very very disappointing for a chamber-loading single shooter. Since you've already traded up the versatility but you don't get any return in terms of performance. Chamber loading is probably the worse kind of reload mechanism compared to Clip system or front loading.

That said. the mechanism is smooth and they work pretty good. I'm considering to pick up the Sharpfire now hahaha.

Anyway, after fiddling with it abit, and since I have a 7kg Retaliator spring laying around, thought I'd open it up and see if it fits, and yep, it does fit fine. And the stock spring is so freaking weak, weaker than stock Retaliator's, no wonder the crap performance.

I did not remove any locks or AR and the Ion Fire shoots like laser beam now, as long as the dart's condition is mint, not crooked or whatsoever, it shoots right where I point it to. Priming is surprisingly still easy, much much easier than priming a 7kg Retaliator.

All in all, pretty happy with this blaster! Now I need to reinforce the plunger/spring covers with some epoxy..lol

Not shooting fast enough in a nerf war? That is what holding me from getting the retaliator from my friend, even when he offered me cheaper price for it. ROF is not good. Gotta have at least semi auto for nerf war, full auto is good. Unless if I can get rival apollo, manual priming is still acceptable. And it has better accuracy.

But if you are playing target shooting game, then no need high ROF.

Retaliator is a great blaster. ROF isn't really relevant as you need to understand what is your role in the game depending on your load out.

Retaliator shoot very well and reasonably accurate. I could hit a guy with shield with my retaliator from 20-30 feet away, aiming his exposed body/leg so it's good enough for a springer. If you really like Retaliator but ROF is an issue, you can get the pump grip.

I never really once felt that the retaliator is incapable as I simply adapt to the game and role. And ammo conservation is great with retaliator. It is kind of a common misconception that Springers are never good in a Nerf war. Well that only applies when every others players are using Flywheels. Flywheels tends to burn ammo way faster than they should, and limited ammo counts become a problem as they need to scavenge and load up the mag/clips.

Btw 241d is your friend still selling the sonic ice Retaliator? I'm interested.

i would prefer a strongarm/rough cut/ flip fury over a retaliator any day. the retaliator IMO has a contradicting design. it has a fore grip, but the prime is at the top shocking.gif . power wise, it's just a pistol-sized blaster with attachments, nothing fancy there. you're just carrying more weight than you have to. plus, no slam-fire means lousy rof. if you're using a springer, at least get something with slam-fire, for those panic situations sweat.gif .

that's just me. i've never liked the recon, so i guess it's just inherited hate. laugh.gif

addendum: the plunger tube is way to small for it's price/size laugh.gif

But you get 3 attachment, barrel, grip, stock... Hehe. Can sell for profit.

I prefer roughcut more than strongarm, because easier reload, and can either shoot one, or two dart at a time. But accuracy nit as good as strongarm.

And yet, Retaliator is one of the best blasters around, stock or modded. Makes me wonder too. One of its biggest pros of Retaliator is that, it's a mag-fed blaster.

Even in the Nerf game community here, Retaliator is one of the most popular springer. Well that's probably because it's widely available everywhere here hahaha

Add a pump grip and you get an easy to operate and accurate blasters. But anyhow this is all personal preference. But it is undeniable that Retaliator is one of the more solid blaster especially the internals.

I guess personally I just like Retaliator alot LOL

yeah, retaliator can be modded to make it better(most blasters can too), but out of the box i don't see it being "best" in any category. as i said some time ago, it's only good for the attachments. my argument is based on:

- clips: only good if you have a few preloaded, else it'll take longer to reload. applies to all clip fed.
- range/power: retaliator doesn't really out range any other elite blasters. so why carry more weight?
- no slam fire puts it under par to most clip fed blasters.

i just don't see how retaliator can be "best" in any category. it's just popular because it looks cool, i'll give it that. laugh.gif

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.

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.

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.

nope, still not convinced laugh.gif . 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. blink.gif

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

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.

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

Hmm lol I just did a minor mod and the Retaliator is now operating buttery smooth biggrin.gif
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.

Attached Image

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.

Attached Image
Attached Image

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.

Attached Image

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.

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. brows.gif
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. tongue.gif

Nerf N-Strike Modulus Battlescout ICS-10

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

Nerf is just too expensive here... As adults also I'm quite certain that i not going to spend rm200++ on nerf blaster.

As MYR value drops, nerf becomes more expensive...

Unfortunately so. Nerf are so much cheaper in the US or China. I'd import them from China since they are like, 1/3 of the price local retails are selling. Even with the shipping it is still at least 1/2 cheaper than buying them locally.

tried a lipo stryfe the other day, doesn't work too well. even with a flip clip. too inconsistent when i comes to power as you need to full rev the motors for max fps.

So..Just for the shits and giggles..I replaced the spring in the Star Wars Delux blaster's spring with OMW 5kg. The rest stock, just lube up the internals.

Jesus this thing shoots so much harder than my 5kg OMW Retaliator with Stage 1 & 2 kits. I suppose the size of the plunger makes a lot of difference when the spring is upgraded.

Gonna try primary this SW Delux blaster for tomorrow's game for the lulz.

I'm new in nerf, but I felt kinda strange when people only mod the spring strength, but not the plunger size. I'm no expert in mech/physic, but this mod is a better one than spring imo.

Reason is simple. To mod the size of the plunger, you literally need to cut the shell up and find a way to fit the larger plunger. It's not "better" mod than spring per say, unless you are really good at shell integration and stuffs, up-ing the size of plunger is impossible.

I'm thinking of making a custom plunger, not mod the original one. I maybe able to print the whole plunger assembly but not sure it will works perfectly though because part printed are not as strong as molded plastic, and to compensate for that, the wall must be thicker, thus reducing the inner size...

And like you said, the shell already limit the size of the plunger. ... what if the plunger is 'square' to make use of all the available space...

If I were to try/experiment with this, what is the best blaster? (cheap2 one)

Else, must learn how to use the CNC machine later...hahaha

Uh..I think most if not all of the plunges/syringe are round is because it's more efficient that way. Ever wonder why you never seen a square shaped syringe before? Lol

Cheapest one would probably be the Firestrike.

Agreed. Tube have better seal due to no 'sharp' corners.

Firestrike, still expensive for try and error job. How bout nite finder? Can get used on cheap. Is the're space inside for bigger plunger?

Added: did some reading, seems like making 'plunger extension' is a better ways. Tomorrow will do some more readings.

which is why longshot is much sought after for modding. it has the largest plunger tube and plunger to date. you need to reinforce the seal though, the stock tube has a flaw on how it seals.

IINM night finder uses a direct plunger too, so pretty good candidate for a lab rat. don't think it has that big of extra space though.

I actually do have a Longshot with OMW Stage 1 & 2 kit.
It shoots very very hard but is not reliable lol. It jams and shreds darts like mad.

Seems the only way to run Longshot is to brass breech that beast. But then again I don't really like Longshot in a game as it's huge and unwieldy around the field. None of the Nerfer run longshot as well, eventhough I saw one guy with brass breech but never see him using it in the game. Maybe it shoots too hard lol.

Then one thing I realize is that, stronger spring don't always necessarily means better. I've run a 7kg spring on my Retaliator before and while it does shoot, the darts can never stay in a straight trajectory. The blaster is so strong it sends the dart curving like mad lol. With stronger spring the ammo types become important. Unless you are running Stefans, or you'll just ended up hitting nothing with a beast in hand.

First attempt. Need to tweak the sizing, a bit too small, thus kinda squeeze the dart, and also the spacing between darts.

longshot is not meant for rapid fire. the way the bolt works just doesnt allow it. not really practical for any kind of nerf war, but cool for showing off power. brows.gif

stronger spring also means more wear and tear on parts. i usually put priority on making a good seal before upgrading springs. heavy springs + plus bad seal doesn't really do much anyway.

i find "hot" blasters to work better with heavier darts. like elite streamlines filled with hot glue in the tip. pretty much the same concept as the .20g or .30g BB argument in the airsoft world.

another option i've been toying with is adding some kind of fins on the darts, forcing it to spin in flight. that would allow it to self stabilized. same concept as tranquilizer darts. never had the chance to test it out, maybe someone here can give it a shot. sweat.gif

Absolutely. Correct and proper sealing is more important than raw power from the spring.
When it comes to nerf, accuracy is entirely ammo type-dependent.

Nerf elite darts are inherently inaccurate due to length of the foam body/weight. For safety concern, of course. The suction cup has better accuracy because it doesn't have the hole but aerodynamically, it will have lesser range than the elite darts.

Which is why the whole Stefans thing is all about anyway lol.

So far my retaliator is performing just..Alright I guess. But due to the darts, I can say it's 90% luck if the darts do land on somebody hahaha.

Anyway, I will attempt a stock Rapidstrike on my next run, just to see if the dart fly straighter, range is prolly crap, but it's an indoor game so CQB should be fun, spray and pray.

Morning guys, here some pics I found few days ago at TaoBao.
See how they modified (color + accessories) their nerf blaster like real thing.
But I don't think it gonna be OK if anyone want to buy n import them,
sure Customs were hold it n check. So don't even think about it.

were you using Elite darts? and what's the colour of your Longshot's dart tooth?
Majority Longshots are not compatible with Elite darts, because of the darth tooth's design, the main cause of jamming.
If your dart tooth's colour is orange, you need to sand it down some

really? at least mine works with all the darts i threw in it. old streamline, elite streamline, elite suction and also the counterfeit elite darts i bought from lelong. it's either they got the measurement correct on mine or i'm just not shooting it fast enough to cause a jam laugh.gif . i have the old blue LS. works with all the new clips as well(heard elite orange clip might cause issue).

wow, now that's practical. but i think holding the clip vertically would be better. that way any size clip can be stored. just use the same mounting mechanism, but hold it from the sides. press fit or can add screws to secure.

Maybe better i made the clip mount separately, this user can just glued it anywhere based on their preference/blaster.

To my surprised, I actually got the revised batch of Mk 2 that accepts 10 rounds banana and 18 rounds etc mags.

The greatest improvement of the Mk 2 over the Retaliator is definitely the tapered breech.
Attached Image

The Mk2 is a great improvement over the Retaliator. It primes extremely smooth, priming the 5kg OMW spring on the Mk 2 is as light and smooth as priming a stock spring Retaliator! I am guessing the tapered breech has contributed to that, and perhaps a better designed shell/internals.

And then I tried to do the same on my Retaliator OMW Breech. And it works too, priming are much smoother, and it doesn't damage the tail of the dart anymore!

Some are curious, how does the V-shape tapering prevents damage to the dart and provide a smoother priming.

Does this look familiar to you?
Attached Image

This should be a common sight for the Retaliator users. This is due to the design flaw of the breech in the Retaliator.
The breech of Retaliator, in theory, it should work perfectly fine, as in, everything works as intended when they are designing the blaster. Darts must be Elite Dart and in perfect condition, the clip/mag spring is in the perfect load/pressure pusing the darts against the breech's opening.

But in reality, it is far from that. We have variety of darts around and in different kind of condition, fresh or worn etc. And due to that, the breech will almost always damage the darts below, and sometimes causing shredding of the darts, and jamming up the blaster, ie the prime slide just refuse to go to the forward position even though you tried forcing it forward. This is the main cause.

Have a look at this, this is the original stock condition OMW breech, please take a good look at the breech's mouth (circled).
Attached Image
Attached Image

Now I'm not entirely sure if you can see it, but it should be pretty obvious. The "mouth" or the opening of the breech where it meets the dart in the mag, is clearly in contact with the dart below. Just imagine what happens when you push the slide forward under this situation. Yep. You get the dart tail damage as shown above. This is the primary cause why your retaliator doesn't prime smoothly and jam up, worse case, shredding the dart.

So, with the new designed breech found in the Recon Mk2 as shown in above post, this V shape tapering help to prevent the issue mentioned above from happening, it now glides over the dart below instead of pushing against it.

Attached Image
Attached Image

So now there you have it, the Recon Mk2 is definitely not just a simple reshell of the Retaliator but with actual improvement. Though you can do exactly the same for the Retaliator's breech and it would be almost as good too! Like what I did to my OMW breech with a Dremel.

Hope this information has been helpful!

This is why I don't use agent or Taobao own direct shipping.

Shameless plug-in my referral link. So far I have no issues with them(using them for over 1 year+ now). In fact, there is one case when I'm shipping over mobile phone, they even called me to coordinate everything(they are in JB). Tho I saw some people leave bad comments on their Facebook so it's your call.

So its hard to cut nerf plastic because its too fast?

it's easy to cut(like hot knife through butter laugh.gif ), but if you're not careful, you can over cut stuff. get the package with the 100 kit, it has everything you need for nerf modding.

Just laid down some tacticool rails on my Retaliator. Looks better than the stripped looking of the Retaliator when a pump grip is installed IMO.

Just a final thought on the Recon Mk 2.

I've opened it up, lube up all the moving parts, drop in OMW 5kg and catch spring. I'll quickly review the cosmetic parts and attachments. The Recon Mk2 comes with a detachable stock that is even shorter than Retaliator's so it's kinda useless but it does look cool. A very cool front barrel attachment that I felt is exclusively designed just for Recon Mk2, It doesn't look good on others blaster and the lack of the locking nub makes it very wobbly and unstable. Also, the Recon Mk2 on it's own, looks like a block from Tetris, it's so blocky lol. The blaster itself has 2 tact-rail, on the priming slide and on the right side of the blaster. Next, on to the performance.

On stock it's a joke, mainly because it's grey trigger. But as soon as the spring is upgraded, it is spectacularly awesome because of the improvement it has, smooth priming action even with the 5KG OMW spring, I didn't even felt that a pump grip/bolt-action attachment is necessary. It is just so smooth and feels good to prime the Recon Mk2 even without lubing up the internal.

The performance after the spring upgrade is great, but no comparison as I don't have a chrony to measure, nor the place to do a range test. Accuracy, it is as good as the Retaliator, if not better. it is mostly dart dependent anyway. I have yet to feel the cons of the V shaped breech (also found on the Slingfire, apparently), but I feel the V shaped tapered breech makes priming extremely smooth and more "dart-friendly".

Internal parts are exactly the same as the Retaliator, few differences are the solid white plunger tube that has a removable cap, trigger and a button to un-jam the priming slide and a thinner trigger. I also felt that the shell of Recon Mk2 is sturdier and made better than Retaliator.

Cons, for some stupid reason, probably to save cost, Hasbro has decided to replace the metal pin on the jam door and boltsled/breech with a plastic pin, that's really dumb. The Retaliator's pin size is exactly the same so if you have an extra Retaliator lying around, or if you upgrade to OMW stage 2 kits, then this isn't an issue. But seriously, plastic pin on the bolt-sled and breech? That's super dumb. Well, good time to stress test the pin too I guess, now that my Recon Mk2 is on 5kg OMW with everything else stock.

My overall opinion on this blaster is pretty high, I'd give it a 8/10. It works better than Retaliator and it operates extremely smooth. Definitely a great blaster to replace the Retaliator (on stock). Modding options are still vast for the Retaliator so no competition there, period.

My only Retaliator's shell is ruined lol.
Attached Image

The part where it houses the trigger catch gave way, I heard it happens to the Retaliator XD white shell more often than the Non-XD blue cause it's more brittle, well I can't comment on that as I don't own a blue Retaliator.

I've fix it with some epoxy putty, it's up and running again. I suspect it has to do with the OMW's metal trigger catch. I was on OMW Stage 1 and 2 kit.

Anyway, with the shell fixed, I've decided to give Worker's kit a try, I've purchased the spring upgrade and the boltsled+plunger head kit. Interested to see how it perform compares to OMW. I'm still waiting for the FPS chrno machine to arrive so I will be doing a comparison as soon as it arrives.
Attached Image

I've also decided to try out the F10555 pump grip kit, as it does look sleeker, though the slider is made of molded plasic, presumably ABS, it doesn't give the level of solidness of Worker's pump girp, which is made of metal. But if weight is concerned, the F10555 kit is considerably more lighter, honestly speaking, the worker's kit is quite heavy and you will feel it once you run on the field for an hour or 2 lol, so the lighter weight is appreciated.

Attached Image

Also some Mags goodies, the latest Worker 12 round Magpul PMAG style magazines with ranger plate. These are sexy as hell, compared to F10555's 15 rounds PMAG, these are of higher quality, better finishing and the spring within works very smoothly. In terms of style point, definitely a 100%. The F10555 15 rounds PMAG are too big and out of proportion.

With everything installed, this is now my latest Retaliator setup. I'll be using this as primary for this coming Saturday Duo match competition.

Gotta love those tact-rail, tacticool as f**k.

After test firing some 200 rounds elite darts, I have got to say this, Holy crap do they perform. Worker's internal upgrade kit is actually better than OMW. I have swap out all the OMW parts except for the metal trigger. Now the internals parts are Workers boltsled, workers plunger head, 7kg spring, stock breech with AR. Yep, with AR. lol

And it really surprises me how it performs so much better than OMW's kit. It isn't like the OMW 7kg is any weaker, it is strong, but TOO strong, it sents all the darts spiraling, but the Worker's 7kg spring, is just right, the dart fly straight and hella fast too, I suspect the Worker 7kg is weaker than OMW 7kg, but hits right at the sweet spot for stock length dart user. And it is sooo soo sooo much cheaper than OMW.

I will definitely recommend Worker's kit more than OMW, and not to mention Worker's kit come with dampening silicons to protect your internals like plunger tube and the plunger head, very very nice packaging IMO. Now I just need to chrono it to confirm the result.

Some extra stuff I did. Also recommended trigger mod for the Retaliator.
Attached Image
I've sanded off the rough and ugly looking cast seams of the OMW metal trigger, feels like this how it should be like when they ship it off, instead we get some shitty looking metal casted trigger lol.

Also sanded smooth the part where it come into contact with the catch, this isn't just cosmetic, as is the ugly and rough cast seams, now it's smooth, the gritty trigger feel as if there are sand stuck in the trigger mech is all gone, smooth and quick.

Now, for all the Retaliator users, I'm pretty sure you notice that the trigger feel of Retaliator is weird, like there is zero resistance when you pull the trigger initially for for like 90% of the trigger travel, then only the catch will be released. Maybe it's just me, but I've always been bothered by this weird trigger mech and after so many games I still find it bothering me. So I did a quick mod.

Just stick a piece of plastic or whatever you want here.

Notice the red circle part.

And comparing to a stock setup

Notice the shorter trigger exposed at the default position now.

The result is phenomenal, you won't believe how much smoother the Retaliator operates by just doing this simple trigger mod. I believe people call these "Hair trigger" lol. You will have to remove the locks first though.

Forget bout the Sonic Ice Retaliator. Not worth the money and the shell is very brittle compared to the white XD. Unless you really like the sonic ice color scheme and don't plan to paint it.

Thanks for the tip.

I don't have the skill or patience, but I like what I see being done to modify these blasters. I like sci-fi and the Aliens Pulse Rifle.

May get one and try painting it one day. Probably going to use it to entertain my kid and shot at action figures or other toys laugh.gif

A picture of the blaster could be helpful smile.gif

Anyway, my blaster is painted with Krylon Ultraflat White as base, then Ace Hardware brand Enamel satin clearcoat. I notice no flakes and it actually is pretty durable. If on the moving parts then of course it will be chipped and stripped eventually. It isn't recommended to paint the moving parts anyway, that will causes jam and unnecessary friction.

Uhh..I don't know what color of base coat you want but it should be okay if you done the prep works properly. I don't recommend any kind of chemical paint stripping. Nerf's plastic is kinda weak lol. Just sand it rough and repaint it.

i did try the brake fluid, the result is....utterly disappointed. It did nothing to the paint even i left for over 2 hours.
In the end, i sand it till its bare bone.still deciding what color to spray on my blaster.

No it's not. There is no"best" blaster around per say. It depends what you want. Rapidstrike is crap if you don't plan to mod it. Get a Stryfe lol.

True, best depend on many factors, for me price must be cheap, and/or looks sci-fi.

Rather than buying rapidstrike, why not just buy demolisher (about same price retail), or cheaper stryfe... For me, I'm waiting for the new 2016 nerf. The alien ones (forgot is name) looks promising..

true, all flywheel blasters are pretty much crap in stock form. if i have to name a "best", i'd say stryfe is the best bang for the buck amongst the flywheel and strongarm amongst the springer. these 2 are really cheap and effective.

strongarm does not require any mod to work great(well except you'll need to stretch the spring every once in a while). stryfe only require removal of 1 lock and a higher voltage batt to get it kicking.

in other news, aeon is having 10% off for nerf. damn that slingfire was so tempting sweat.gif .

Yeah, the EAT will not be used for outdoor game until it gets a bright paint job lol. I'm planning to bondo the finishes of the 3D printed parts and paint it white, like Star War style white. But what I noticed though, among the community here there are a lot of Blaster that closely resembles a real firearm, mostly dark color but none of us really gotten into any trouble with the police, touchwood.

Others than the black color, it is mostly the buttstock that actually made the blaster looks like an airsoft.

Thanks for the reminder!

not yet laugh.gif .

i think black nerf stuff are fine, those are designed to not look like firearms. it's the 3rd party attachments. if an attachment kit is labeled as "masada", you can't expect it to not look like a masada laugh.gif . anyway, like the ancient airsoft saying, "keep it secret! keep it safe!" laugh.gif .

My first attempt to paint 3D printed parts. Difficulty: Hell.
For me anyway lol.

I never worked with 3D printed parts before, and wow this is very hard lol. I'm about a quarter way to completion I guess lol. Some pic to compare side by side.

Yeah if you do without proper prepping the 3D printed jagged lines will all still be there and you might as well just leave it alone lol.

But anyhow, this is how it looks like now, not done yet though, still need final touch and dry brushing.

Haha cause by far it's the one with most attachment and most modular Blaster. Perhaps also because it's a supposedly successor to the Longstrike.

Worker's full top and side rails
Custom MBUS with desert digital camo pattern
Magpul CTR buttstock with Worker's foldable buffer tube
Magpul MS2 sling

Internal overhauled for smoother operation of the blaster. Springs are replaced with OMW 5kg with AR removed.

Hi all, just got into the Nerf hobby and wanted to say hi to the community.

After some research online and browsing the stores, ended up buying a Sweet Revenge (which I immediately spray painted) since I couldn't find a Hammershot anywhere and a Retaliator. Considering a Stryfe and a Modulus flipclip as my next purchases.

Always happy to hear any inputs or tips on gun choices, modding etc, if any, from the experienced folks here smile.gif

Hello, welcome to the world of Nerf!
Where are you from? Retaliator should be very common and available in almost all Toy's R us. I have a couple of retaliator going on sale too, but they are the grey trigger version so unless you are planning to mod them I wouldn't recommend it.

As for the stryfe, best entry flywheeler you can get. Modulus flip kit isn't bad but quite expensive for what it is. I recommend getting a couple of 18 straight mag instead as they are much cheaper.

Hey, I'm in KL so I've been making the rounds in the TRUs around town.

Thanks for the feedback on the Stryfe. Probably will pick that up soon and check some guides on basic mods (removing locks?). 18 mags looks like it has to be ordered online - any recommended sellers? Only saw international sellers with exp shipping on ebay so far.

Also was tempted to get the Strongarm since I had a Maverick as an impulse buy from ages back but I ended liking the hammer priming revolvers. Even slightly tempted by the Doublestrike / 4Victory.

Uhh have you tried the TRU in 1U? Ikano? Midvalley etc? They all still have abundant of Retaliator.

I promise you the price is the best, if you can find it any lower I'll price match with it.

Strongarm is a solid blaster but I'm not so sure about Doublestrike, too expensive for what it is.

Hi! Am quite new to Nerf, bought some blasters to play with my son (altho I have an old Stampede). currently using stock Strongarm, Rough Cut and Sling Fire.

I read in the previous posts that it is cheaper to buy blasters and mod kits from China. I dont read Chinese but am keen to get some blasters and stuff. Can anyone here help point the way?

It is cheaper but that really depends. cause shipping is definitely not cheap especially importing blasters due to their box size and weight. I can help you out though, I do import stuffs from Taobao regularly and if you are looking for something in particular, just let me know.

Thanks for the offer. In the midst of deciding what to get and on mods as well.

Keen on getting a hammershot. How much would that cost from Taobao?

Any idea what gives the biggest bang for the buck for modding the slingfire? Is removing the AR adequate? Or should change the spring also?

NerfAbout.com give Nerf Modulus Recon MKII a review below:

Overall 3 of 5 stars.

Pros:
~Looks terrific (at least on one side)
~Comes will modular accessories
~Generally good build quality

Cons:
~Too many shortcuts: design only on one side, uncomfortable egronomic aspects, abnormally low dart velocity, and the question of whether you'll get a version that has the clip compatibility issue resolved
~Performance well below most Elite models, notably the very similar Retaliator
~Not especially accurate or quick to fire
~Decoration only on one side (again)

Full review below link:
