Why is Nerf so opposed to making pump-action blasters?
Is the slide on the Recon Mk.II super stiff feeling for anyone else? It's really unpleasant feeling on mine, and makes prepping a shot a chore every time.
>>5630960
Pump action is for niggers.
t. Maverick user.
why is the IonFire so based lads?
From purely a ruthless-performance perspective, what is /toy/'s take on the best blaster that nerf has made?
Stuff like "most fun" and "best looking" is subjective and those things are important too, but what do you think is the most effective blaster overall?
I'd argue the Stryfe for this purely because it has a simple-but-it-reliably-works mechanism (I use an orange Elite XD model so I don't have the dart detector issues) which means apart from other stuff like simple performance upgrading/moddability, it's just so goddamn reliable.
Personally I've put my stryfe through a lot and it haven't ever had a jam or misfire from the damn thing.
Let's get a discussion going, who agrees/disagrees? If you don't, what do you think makes a better all-round nerf blaster?
>>5630960
because mag fed pump action blasters make most other blasters obsolete
>tfw no modulus alpha trooper
>>5633245
I need to get my hands on a Stryfe sometime soon, but out of the blasters I own, I would say it's a tie between Rampage and Alpha Trooper, because pump action is best.
For some reason I tend to dislike battery weapons. I know that they are much faster to fire and usually shoot longer distances reliably but something about them makes me dislike them. Maybe my experiences of electric motor pistols has been tainted by the Barricade.
>>5633505
Yep, the barricade is very garbage as someone who had the misfortune to own one, the Stryfe has pretty much none of its issues
I've heard rumours that Stryfes are going extinct soon but they're still very reasonably priced on Amazon
Amongst springers though 100% agreed with your choices, I personally like the EAT more (because I'm left handed) but they're broadly similar blasters
>>5633949
Mine isn't even an Elite Alpha Trooper, I have the Yellow CS-18, but to me the Rampage and AT have quite a similar feel to them. Maybe if I got an Elite AT then I would notice a bigger difference.
>>5634076
The EAT has a direct plunger rather than a reverse plunger so it's arguably a fair bit better especially with a beefy spring
At the same time they're a bit painful to get these days so a pumped retaliator may be a more reliable thing to actually buy which has similar operation and performance
>>5633245
I'd say the Alpha Trooper because I don't like relying on batteries.
>>5634232
I'd say suck a dick because you are a poorfag
>>5634239

EAT stories? EAT stories.
>be me in mid-2015
>really want a manual-prime primary so that I can easily switch off between flywheels and pump on the go
>considered Retaliator, but thought the top-prime would be awkward
>turns out Elite Alpha Troopers are rare as men with quadballs and aftermarket prices are outrageous
>decide to just drop the cash for a Worker pump and mod a Retaliator
>suddenly people are finding orange Alpha Troopers in Kohls
>finally decide to get one
>turns out I don't really like how the prime feels, even compared to a top-prime
It's cool and all, plus it's a reliable blaster, especially if you're loaning it out to a friend who barely has any nerf guns, but I guess my expectations were too high.
>>5635238
Look into one of the worker kits for a retaliator (pic related)
Pretty much identical to EAT performance but you get dat foregrip- but sadly it isn't cheap
>>5635328
Except it doesn't have slam fire
>>5635238
One tip I read about the uncomfortable pump grip is to just unscrew it and turn it around. I forget it I liked it better that way or not.
>>5635322
EAT story?
I was fortunate enough to be around when Target had the new EATs on the shelves at discountinued AT prices. Walked out with 4 EATs at $5 each. I mainly just wanted the 12-round clips.
>>5633245
Protip for anyone looking for a Stryfe:
Try hitting up your local Target, mine carries Stryfes and they pricematch with Walmart's $10 online Stryfes (they set the price there for Black Friday and never changed it back. There were litteral pallets of Stryfes in Walmarts).
No garuntee you'll find one, but if you do, you can get it for super cheap.
IDK if it's just the people at my Target being retarded, but a friend and I (he mods) have gotten 10ish Stryfes between the two of us this way. $100 when it should be a total of $250.
>>5635328
Why didn't he remove the slide altogether rather than hack it up? Was the rail that important?
>>5636432
Ask Coop. He's the one who made that image.
>>5636432
Maybe to retain the tact rail.
>>5635405
Is slam fire really worth it though?
>>5635601
>tfw Australian
Hold me senpai
Then again Amazon ships stryfes to Australia so it's bearable, and local ones are gimped anyway
>>5633245
Nothing beats a Stryfe, fammo. Springer cucks wished they had the reliability and RoF of a Stryfe. I have a Worker pump Retaliator (a la >>5635328) and it's pretty fun but just doesn't compare to flywheel stuff desu.
Just, yeah, if you don't have an OJ you really do have to bridge the dart detector. I've heard it's pretty shit.
When modded to shit the Rapidstrike can spit like 12+ dps at 100+ fps.
Why is nobody talking about the Hyperfire ITT, people have their hands on them and are doing firing demos and shit.
>>5637046
>Hyperfire
This one's modded a bit, but still hype: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6bU2WHU8WoU
>>5637121
I'm hoping the conveyor belt system is as reliable at feeding darts as I think it is, it seems more reliable than pusher mechs
>>5635238
Epoxy a Rampage/Raider foregrip to that and you're golden.
I've got big plans for this little powerhouse
>>5637619
BASED
so operator
If you're looking for a good springer right now a lot of the new buzzbee guns are worth getting for performance and price, especially since you can use Nerf mags and darts with them.
>Air Max Tyrant is a high capacity mega dart blaster with a 12 round magazine
>Boss is a Magnus that uses a 3 round magazine if you want something smaller
>Champion is a better Retaliator
>Sentinel is a better Slingfire
>Snipe is a much better Longshot
>>5639629
Can confirm Sentinel is OP as shit
Really basic mods can easily kick the thing into like 100-120FPS ranges
is the Recon Mk2 worth picking up?
>>5642373
Not really, just get a retaliator desu my man
>>5632072
Because there's nobody around so you don't have to worry about anyone firing back?
>No mention of the rival line guns
Tried out the apollo last week for the first time and its the best thing since sliced bread
it's incredibly accurate, kind of hard to prime, but generally a great fun gun.
Some people are turned off by the concept of non darts, but the foam golf balls pick up easy and fly far with very little variation compared to the elites.
I'm looking forward for the pump action shotgun coming in the fall
>>5644531
My only gripes are that, since it has ball ammunition, the ammo gets around a lot more than darts or discs since they bounce and roll on surfaces that aren't carpet or grass (in my case, I mostly play in a well-carpeted huge basement, so I really shouldn't be complaining), and the Zeus's strange side-loading from my experience handling a friend's (although, admittedly, that's my excuse for not buying the Zeus and waiting for the future releases). Aside from that, they're just better blasters, and that's all they are. There's not much to talk about. I'm also really looking forward to more Rival blasters.
>>5644544
Yeah I'm not going to lie the Zeus is complete shit
I've never really liked battery operated blasters and the awkward side loading really killed it for me.
The Apollo is ridiculously great and after I modded the blaster to pull the priming handle back up after manually pulling it back. Oh jeez it was such an amazing mod I don't know why they didn't do this themselves.
I'm most excited for the Atlas, but I don't know how the double shots going to work...
Also on the whole bouncing and ricochets
I think the ricochets and bounces work in your favor indoors because a ball shot at a wall in a small room will bounce at least 5 times before hitting the ground again. Sure it makes it harder to find the balls if they roll under stuff, but it scares the shit out of anyone from getting out of cover while the balls zipping around.
>>5644531
>non-darts
>pump action shottie
Proprietary ammo guns don't get enough love, imo.
I'm personally fond of the Pyragon, but it really only shines indoors where I can slamfire like a chronic masturbator firing 5dps and the discs ricochet everywhere.
But it sucks because the ammo is a pain in the ass to find outside of chinese knockoffs and I'm not trying to kill somebody.
>>5644557
>tfw disks never became a thing

>>5644560

Anything similar made by nerf or other companies to the marauder?
>>5644989
the longsword? plenty of foam swords availble for larping and cosplay purposes. my lil brothers picked up two foam master swords from a ren faire field trip. They were just as long if not longer then the marauder my roommate had and one of them certainly had denser foam then the marauder which was already pretty dense for those nerf weapons. The other one was a lot closer to how dense I remember the marauder was. I imagine a lot of the anime cosplay foam weapons you can find on amazon, have similar denseness and length to those. And for the most part a lot of the foam swords are about the same price as the retail for the marauder so there is that.
Considering we will never get another line of good melee nerf, thats the best bet.
>J O L T M A S T E R R A C E N I G G A
>>5642373
it's a top slide cocking rifle, it wants to be a rifle but operates like a handgun
so no
>>5645993
You know what would be cool? If you could mod a top slide gun to automatically cock itself after every trigger pull. Then it would look like a semiautomatic pistol when fired.
mega best
>>5646177
So a Snapfire 8 with a cosmetic-moving slide?
>>5646470
I'm honestly a bit surprised that type of gimmick never made a reappearence as it was a pretty interesting cocking method. With modern techniques and technology, I'm sure they could improve upon it's performance to at least work as a decent side-arm.
>>5646470
I always thought the snapfire was cool
Best overall sniper rifle?
>>5653104
>Nerf
>sniper
>when every gun in their specific lineup shoots the same velocity and distances
Rival Apollo is the closest thing to a sniper and it's not even built like one.
>>5653120
Yeah, I realized that no matter what the darts themselves won't really allow 'sniping'.
RIP lahti l-39 dreams
>>5653124
They all shoot the same ammo, so there's not much to be done. You can increase the POWER to fling it further, but the darts also have bad aerodynamics, so you can't be accurate either. So it's really not "sniping" if it takes you 50 darts to try and tag someone 100 ft away standing still the whole time.
>>5653104
Weapon that looks most like a sniper rifle? Longstrike or Centurion. If you want a weapon that gets sniper ranges, avoid both of them.
>>5653104
A springed up Jolt isn't a bad bet desu
so cute
Anybody have any experience with vulcans? I have an OG vulcan and wanna trick it out, what do?
>>5655555
well shit, I just got quints
>>5655555
They were sorta cool for the XBOXHUEG factor back in the day, But playing with it for a while, that chain belt ammo what a huge pain in the ass. It's still a nice looking Nerf gun.
When did war change for you, /nerf/?
None of my friends ever modded til recently, so going from N-Strike to N-Strike Elite was a huge difference maker for us. I was the first one of the bunch to get a Retaliator, and all quaked before me as they tried their damnedest to out-shoot me with their stock Mavericks, Spectres, and Recons. War had changed.
>>5657419
For me? When I started buying Amazon guns
I'm a straya fag so going from crippled nerf guns to full fat ones was a huge leap
>>5632072
Huh. This thing looks surprisingly good with a stock and grip. I hate the IonFire but this looks cool and made me like it
>>5632072
How easy is it to prime? I haven't been anywhere that sells them recently, so I don't know how close the handle is to the slide. I'm worried that my hand will rub on the slide every time I prime it.
>>5637140
It seems pretty reliable. Apparently, it can skip shots if its rate of fire is increased by too much as the drum can't rotate fast enough. How long until we get replacement belts with longer flap pieces?
>>5642373
No, get a Retaliator. It's probably cheaper by now. If you really want those extra rails though, go ahead
>>5644557
>not trying to kill somebody
What are the knockoff Vortex discs like? I bought a bunch of the hard-tipped darts because they seemed like good value at the time. The foam isn't bad but the solid tips hurt at close range. They're alright unless you're aiming at other people.
>>5645501
>master race
>'Elite' Jolt
Not with that giant lump of plastic on the front. I'll stick with the Eliminator or failing that, the original Jolt.
>>5653104
Modded Longshot.
>>5654964
The Persuader is even cuter in my opinion.
I have a yellow alpha trooper just sitting in storage cause I can't figure out how to fix it. I bought the orange mod works kit for it a couple of years back and it just completely jams up and won't prime. I'd like to get it working again but I'm just at a loss for what's wrong with it.
>>5663719
Could you post a picture of the internals? We can probably figure it out. It's likely a case of something being in slightly the wrong place or orientation. Have you gotten rid of all the locks already?
>>5663568
Deleted uranium core dipped in mercury wrapped in bacon. Because high cholesterol is no joke.
>>5663552
very easy. There's plenty of clearance underneath the handle, but all it really needs is a forefinger to prime it.

>>5664030
>Has anyone ever done a pirate loadout where they just carry a bunch of jolts, bigshots, and whatnot?
Technically I could. I've got a jolt and the old cc snapfire. I retired the snapfire because I didn't like drawing and priming.
Now my question for the community is what piping is used for good elite dart barrel? the 1/2 in PVC i bought chokes it
Any MGS fans here? A painted-up Sharpfire makes a pretty decent stand-in for a WU Silent Pistol
>>5663951
That's actually pretty funny
>>5664105
It's alright but needs a larger cylinder to stand in for the silencer or else it looks like it only have the normal barrel.
>>5664062
>Now my question for the community is what piping is used for good elite dart barrel? the 1/2 in PVC i bought chokes it
Do Crayola pen barrels still work? Those were the cheap standard when I paid attention to the modding community.

When Elite first came out, my friends got me the Hail-Fire, Rampage and Retaliator. We then had a battle, and I mowed them down with that superior range.
Nowadays though, everybody has Elites. I'm thinking about just picking up a bunch of vintages from Ebay so I can spice up the variety.
What's the oldest blaster you have?
I just saw the doomlands stuff on the target website. Are these target exclusive? I haven't seen them on TRU or walmart at all.
Designs look pretty cool, probably gonna get a vagabond at some point.
>>5671805
Maverick. It was the nerf blaster that got me into nerf stuff. Modded the crap out of it. Removed ARs, pennies behind the spring, russian roulette mod. It was good times.
>>5671805
Probably the 2004 version of the Tech Target Eliminator. I've got a couple of older things, but they're later versions such as the Hawkeye BBB.
>>5671805
buzzbee double shot sxs
>>5670753
There was a point after the initial Elite craze with my group where EVERYONE had a Retaliator. I was the first to get one, then literally everyone else followed suit. Thankfully that wore off now everyone's found their own thing. I for one have stayed true and slapped OMW kits in mine and still kick ass like it's 2012.
>>5671805
Oldest i got is one of them animal themed old mega blasters. It's the bolt primed, muzzle loaded, light equiped Eagle shaped blaster. Still works, but can't even compare to even the crappiest blasters coming out today.
>>5671836
Yes, Doomlands is currently target exclusive but I believe there will be a side line coming out that will have more distribution in other stores.
Anyone hear about them new SQUARE jolts?
>>5675689
Yeah, I won't bother with it. I already have two Jolts. I assume it's meant to look like a smartphone while in your pocket.
100 suction cup darts from China, anyone bought those?
>>5663719 here.
I pulled it out of storage and messed with it for about an hour or so and got it working again! Probably just had something put together slightly off. I ran into the issues when I put in the orange mod works kit I got on xmas sale a long while back, I think I just had something aligned wrong.
>>5663753
Not sure what you mean by getting rid of the locks. Which locks do you mean? And is that something that is recommended to do on it? I've only got a few blasters just for fun so I'm not up on all the cool kid tricks. The most I've done are the orange mod kit for the trooper cause it was cheap, and I did the coins behind the spring trick and the russian roulette cylinder on my maverick.
Got this little baby at a yard sale for $10.

I'm looking to get a Nerf gun to practice slicing and generally terrorize my roommates. I've got my eye on the Retaliator, but reading the thread I saw this >>5639629 and looked into the Buzzbee Champion. It looks awesome, but I noticed it has no door to clear jams: are jams common enough to be an issue?
>>5685528
>slicing
meant slicing the pie, not interested in dissecting my roommates
>>5682182
I had one sitting around. I sold it to some kid, belt included, for like $5. No ammo though. He was pretty happy.
>>5685528
Maybe you can go with a Rapidstrike for that full-auto and tacticool oper8ting action?
>>5685528
No, they're so cheap that when you get jams, you just toss it away and pull another one from your bag.
>>5686239
>>5686133
retaliators are perfect for operating though. using a tacticooled retaliator in public might get you into trouble though.
for a sidearm: get a hammershot for that sweet one handed priming and never look back.
>>5686429
Is that your mod? What was you method of attaching an AR stock to a Nerf stock connector? I'm planning something similar.
>>5686445
no it's actually a pic from ebay. my retaliator has the same pump kit but i don't have the stock and barrel attachements.
the stock is a generic air soft stock connected by a nerf compatible buffer tube.
you can buy the pumpkit and the buffer tube from this guy on ebay:
http://www.ebay.com/sch/nerfrightarm/m.html?_nkw=&_armrs=1&_ipg=&_from=
or directly from the manufacturer in china on taobao.
the pic is my retaliator, which looks tacticool enough for me.
All of this for $35 on letgo, decent deal? I'm worried about buying nerf blasters from randoms on the internet.
>>5687039
Seems alright. The Buzzbee one is probably missing the shells, so sell that to some kid as soon as you receive it. It's a shame that the Hail-Fire doesn't have any clips though. Pick up a bunch of 18s from somewhere. I got two for 20p each.
>>5687150
>The Buzzbee one is probably missing the shells
12 ga mod when
>>5686462
Price for the Nerf buffer tube seemed high, but then I was expecting to pay $15 for a regular buffer tube to hack up anyways in addition to s Nerf stock.
>>5687039
Get a bunch of clips and ammo, and you'd have a sizable arsenal.
I'm new to the idea of Nerf modding. Are there any places where I can get aftermarket parts?
You people today with your nerf guns that looks like guns and your magazines...makes me wish We had these as a kid. When I was big into modding the closest thing there was to a multi-dart magazine fed gun was the powerclip.
I wonder where most of my guns went. I've only got three left, sitting in the back of my closet collecting dust.
>>5687461
I kinda see where you're coming from. Nerf wasn't even on my radar until around 2011 when I bought some mavericks to mess around with little cousins. When I was growing up, the nerf blasters that were out looked wacky as all hell and didn't catch my eye. Then a year later the elite series came out and it was history.

Why not just rip the front off? I have the original plus the elite and the color variants, and the way it looks you should be able to tear that orange tip off.
Why isnt anyone talking about this?
>>5691294
It's alright. Haven't got a chance to mess with the Rey one.
>>5691294
I like how it even has an orange rip ON THE SCOPE.
>>5691294
Lackluster performance I'd imagine. If it's not at least competitive with the average blaster on the market or have a really cool gimmick it's usually ignored.
If they weren't overpriced I would've grabbed one to mod cause I always wanted an internal mag sidearm. But there are much better things I can buy for the price they're asking.
>>5691294
Rey's blaster is also more streamline
>>5691789
The gimmick is that they shoehorned a Nerf blaster into a DL-44 heavy blaster.

>>5694400
For you.
>>5694400
More like Rey and Han are big guys.
>>5694395
...yea, that's a bit ridiculous. Especially considering the stock holds the wrong type of ammo, can't actually be used to support the gun do it collapsing easily and the barrel would most likely lower it's performance, i just don't see the real value of this mod. I get that it's purely cosmetic, but it's just very...uninteresting.
>>5694400
In addition to that, I find the broom handle grip on the Han blaster to be very uncomfortable. The gimmick they're using is cool, it's just everything else about those guns is crap.
>>5694472
>it's just everything else about those guns is crap.
The C96 design is fine at actual 1/1 scale, these are WAY too big. The Rubies costume DL-44 is actually closer in size that this is, hell the Super Soaker is closer than this thing.
Here's a vid of the Tested crew doing a Han Solo conversion on a MGC C96 and a pic of an actual C96. You can see how wrong the Nerf is scaled here.

I owned 3 Mavs in my day and they were every one jamming piles of shit. Literally every second shot. I welcomed the Strongarm.
Also, are these at all worth it? Looks awesome and I'm really considering it. $60 is a pretty penny for something to slap on a plastic gun though.
>>5694541
Only if you want a no-slamfire but more robust Elite Alpha Trooper.
>>5694543
I just think it'd be an improvement in handling and I've main'd a retaliator since they came out. Feels right, but it's hard justifying that price. I'll likely talk myself into it somehow.
Just got a rotary tool.
Tell me what im in for
>>5694541
People keep saying this about the Mav. I had it as a main for many years, and it never once jammed on me. Ever.
>>5695535

Is this the best gun the mega line has to offer?
I was thinking of purchasing a few of these and this looked the funnest to use.
>>5695727
It's basically a bigger Cycloneshock with added risk for your thumb.
I prefer the Cycloneshock, but the Rotofury still has the added plus of higher ammo capacity. Big Shot is really nice, too/
>>5695731
Well I can get two cylcone shocks for the price of one rotofury
I was just wondering if the pump action rotofury was cooler but this thumb risk sounds bretty dumb to me.
>>5695742
If you have small hands, the Rotofury shouldn't be much of an issue. Otherwise, just get the Cycloneshock.
>>5695768
fuck. I got big hands
I really like the rotofury aesthetics though
I think I'm going to buy the rotofury cause it looks easier to prime and because slamfire
>>5695786
Well, just be careful then, anon.
You could always modify the pump, so there's that.
Rotofury guy here.
Just have your offhand slightly angled when pumping and you won't smack your thumb.
The biggest crime with it is the lack of stock attachment space.
>i fell for the pvc meme
>>5702784
what meme would that be?
I have a ton of plastidip, should I use that on my gun or just get some spray paint?
I've got a few nephews and little cousins coming to stay with us this summer because family summer vacation.
What are some good guns to buy for them to use?
They are around 8 to 13 and I want to buy them some guns that'll be easy for them to prime and fire
Any suggestions?
>>5705516
Triads or Strongarms
>>5705520
So mostly pistols?
How are the hammershot and the double strike?
Also just looked up on amazon
I can get the triad as an add on item for 6.95 and the strongarm for 9.88 which is pretty fuckin cheap for two blasters
>>5705248
I don't think Plastidip is permanent. I'm buying a can to see how it works for temporarily painting parts a different color, then peeling it off when I'm done.
>>5705528
>So mostly pistols?
Well, I'm not sure if you want to drop the cash for a bunch of flywheel blasters and mags (Hasbro calls them clips), and I'm also not sure if they'll have the patience to sit down and load the mags for every round.
>How are the hammershot and the double strike?
They're just the same ones I posted, but with different priming mechanisms and a bit more pricey. They're about on par.
>Also just looked up on amazon
>I can get the triad as an add on item for 6.95 and the strongarm for 9.88 which is pretty fuckin cheap for two blasters
That's why I recommended pistols.
>>5705516
For little kids, just get some Air Warriors blasters. Get the Air Warriors Ultra-Tek Champion from Walmart for $7 ea.
not sure if should buy...
>>5705557
Just saw this lol
It looks like some cheap chinese knock off
and its basically a worse barricade.
I kind of wonder if the attachments work for nerf guns though.
>>5705555
This is probably sound advice, but I kind of want to keep all the ammo the same and I have a lot of spare elite darts to spare.
>>5705570
Just buy a hundred or so darts on ebay for $2. Might be official, probably not. Doesn't matter. These are darts for 10yos. At the end, throw them away, or not. This is my plan for Nerf wars with my nieces and nephews and their friends. If they lose 20 darts on the roofs or behind furniture, I don't care. $2 worth of darts and not my house lol.
>>5694541
I thought these things sucked and underperformed like hell?
Has /toy/ changed their minds on them?
>>5691021
You spent 45 minutes on a maverick? That's about 25 minutes too much.
>>5705684
Dunno if you picked up on it, but people were talking about the $60 worth of upgrades to a stock Retaliator.
>>5688189
I swapped mine out for sweet revenges. Because I liked the feel of the grip better on them than the hammershot.
...And they look kinda pretty.
>>5705688
I didn't have a hammer.
>>5655555
It's fun for the intimidation factor, I constantly look through thrift stores for more belts...I think I have about 4 or 5 belts attached together. There's one dummy round between each, but meh.
Also, as far as modding goes, you can always change it out to AAs for higher voltage (firing speed)
>>5707004
What kind of bullets do you load in your belts?
I kind of want to stick with the whistling darts, but I've lost so many of them.
Are there any cheap alternatives?
Triad or Bigshock?
>>5708005
Triad if you're going into wars, bigshot if you're at home plinking
>>5708065
These are for my kids to plink each other with
Guy on my local craigslist is asking 40$ for these
Is it worth it?
I haven't heard back whether or not the titan still has its ammo or not.
>>5708432
Forgot pic...
>>5708432
It's only worth it if you want those guns. If you only care for half of them, that's like $7 each. Not too bad.
>>5708433
The raider, drum, and titan are key items. Everything else is junk.
I can get a Recon MK2 on amazon prime for 18.75
and a retaliator for 23.99
Are there any functional differences between the two?
I know I'll be shit out of luck on the retaliator stock, larger mag, and better barrel extension(grip) if I go with the recon though...
>>5709360
Retaliator stock is garbage. Barrel is only good for pump-action mods. You should be buying your own mags anyways. Just go for whatever you feel like doing.
>>5709385
My own mags?
Are there cheaper mag variants?
>>5709420
>not two 12-round mags via via the modulus flip mag pack
Its all about the weight and ergonomic efficiency
>>5682524
Amazon is selling it for $22
http://www.amazon.com/Worker-12-Dart-Reload-N-Strike-Blaster/dp/B01C5ZJ7Q0/ref=lp_8465742011_1_11?srs=8465742011&ie=UTF8&qid=1464901643&sr=8-11
Why haven't you guys ordered your tri-strike?
It is literally 3 guns in one
>>5708432
You can get replacement ammo on ebay for the Titan dirt cheap. They're clearly homemade foam missiles (and honestly you could probably make em yourself for just as cheap) but they work perfectly well.
That said, only the Titan and the Rampage are worthwhile. The Mavericks might be good for practice modding, but the rest isn't all that useful.
>>5709616
I didn't even realize it went on sale yet. I would have to see some reviews of it first, I'm curious if the Mega launcher is Smart AR based or if it's a full on spread shot blast.
Also, does anyone else find it funny they had to stick a regular streamline at the end of the barrel to illustrate the "three ammo type" gimmick?
>>5655561
Those things are a pain in the ass, everyone I know along with me had one that eventually stopped firing and changing casings.
>>5709899
The mega launcher is smart AR but a lot of reviewers has said its kinda wonky.
Some of the videos has shown it to accidentally launch out a different dart but I think its just the motion of pumping it thats accidentally shooting mega darts out.
I'm mostly in it for the base tri-strike
its basically a very compact long-strike with elite performance.
I wanna mod the shit out of it.
>>5710146
I prefer the rhino fire for the cool factor turret
>>5686429
I just got my AR stock adapter from China. Overall, not too bad but it does have a few issues. First, they put the locking mechanism in backwards, mean you had to hold open the slide lock to attach the stock, and just yanking it out will unlock the slide. A couple of screw removals and I was able to flip the locking mechanism around.
Second, it will not fit all the way onto the stock attachment point on any blaster I have. It will not go in all the way for the sliding lock to catch. I think if I shaved off a tiny bit from the front of the adapter, I can get the lock to engage. Otherwise, it's a rally tight solid fit.
Third, my AR stock is a fairly tight fit over the buffer tube. Nothing horrible, but I'll probably sand the tube down a little and the whole thing should slide perfectly.
>>5709616
Bro, I already have mine.
And it's awesome.
>>5712901
>>5712904
>>5712905
>>5712906
>>5712908
This isn't going in until I decide to mod it or not.
>>5712909
>>5712906
The blaster itself looks really good.
>>5712923
The grip is def better than the other modulus blasters and the performance is good!
Unfortunately I've discovered I'm not really a fan of bolt-action priming. It doesn't offer and advantages IMO and is not nearly as comfortable pump action (the best) and still worse than over-hand priming (lack of comfort).
I'm looking for a bolt-kit that offers a larger handle at the least.
>>5712982
Honestly it doesn't take much IMO.
Yeah you can mess with the missile launcher but honestly you don't want to use it from that far away regardless (due to slow missile speed).
The MEGA-HAMP is honestly the most impressive part and I am not going to do a thing to it.
Unless I can get a large handle I am not going to upgrade the spring. I do not want to have to double hand this thing unless I can turn it into a brass barrel, perfect seal actual sniper rifle to make it worth using two hands.
>>5712910
I like that the grenade launcher turns into its own gun. Pretty slick.
If you attached it to another blaster, would the air hose reach underneath a typical barrel extension? Looks a bit short.
Modulus is £33 (43% off)
Rough Cut is £12 (48% off)
Which one should I get? I've already got a stryfe (keeps jamming though) and a firestrike.
>>5713436
I'd be wary of an underslung unless you're attacking it to something short (like a Stryfe maybe...). I'm much more confident about it reaching a side rail.
>>5713544
The original Modulus is just an expensive Styfe IMO.
The Rough Cut is lowkey one of the best Blasters around straight out of the box.
>>5682182
Had one of those when i was a kid around when they first came out, first mod ever i took off the barrel.
Mom thought it was broke and threw it away.
Pulled the trigger and bought a sentinel.
Word of warning,
Do NOT pull the trigger while the level is down, it will fling back up with knuckle breaking force.
How's the Nerf Deploy? I'm super keen to grab one as a primary blaster.
>>5716984
>Nerf Deploy
nice bait.
but seriously, its pretty bad. i got one and a nite finder from a friends bf for free and decided to use it for a war. it jammed constantly (but just because i loaded an extra dart into the mag) and the reverse plunger is as noisy as it is ineffective. not to mention the "flashlight-mode" is practically useless. with mods it could be better, but not by much. but i wonder if they'll ever make a worthy successor to the deploy, and if so, supposedly in the modulus line.
>>5717110
There was something similar in the rebelle line where it was a 4 barrel smart ar pump action blaster that folded into a gaudy "purse". I was hoping they'd make a version that wasn't aimed at tweenage girls because reviews said it was pretty decent. Though I'd rather have a revolver barrel then a smart AR barrel, I've had too many issues with those.
>>5716984
Deploy was a victim of the "reshell the recon again" years and is thereby utter trash.
>>5682182
I got a clear one for that price too, had the box and the belt. Sadly the battery case was corroded, however I had a regular vulcan and just switched the battery cases
>>5717110
That's depressing.
>>5691284
The front doesn't pull off. I haven't tried cutting it off yet though.
>>5705557
We've got the Firestrike and Rough Cut knockoffs over here. They cost nearly as much as the real things. Are any of them worth picking up at a lower price?
>>5712909
Does the priming bar have screws like the Longshot one? If so, you can open it up and trim it down to make it removable.
>>5716984
I've got two. The torch is essentially a less focused Nite Finder light, so don't bother with it. The quality control is awful, so some Deploys shoot pretty well while other barely fire. Also, the N-Strike Flip Clip that is advertised as an upgrade for it is garbage. Every time the front part flips down, the clip piece comes off. If you see it for a couple of currencies, go for it. Otherwise, get an EAT instead. How hard is it to get EAT internals into a Deploy? I've always wanted it to be good, or at least more usable than a Maverick.
Got this from my local wal-mart today
and its so fucking fun to use
Who needs the tri-strike when you got a retaliator, a screw, havok fire bolt and way to much free time
>>5726327
idk why people like the tristrike so much
I have the tri strike and its innaccurate as fuck compared to my stock retaliator
>>5726327
what has science done
