The Retaliator's primer is hard to get used to, but slap a Raider stock on it and carry with your off-hand on the priming slider. Once you get used to the style of carry, I'm sure you'll enjoy your Retaliator more- it's a beefy blaster, and carrying carbine style I'm firing accurately at forty to fifty feet. And the cherry on the cake? I'm consistently playing the Retaliator over the Praxis AND the Pyragon.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5518908358030099316.post-82185800865086040802013-04-19T01:28:30.701+10:002013-04-19T01:28:30.701+10:00I like the retaliator.

Why? because of the accessories. a stryfe with the grip and stock from this elite blaster make it a great primary in my opinion. <br />M friend and I talked long about why 2 of the first wave of elites were copies and it was simply that Hasbro wanted to take a gentle step into the elite line to sort of test the waters. I mean, I'm sure the Raider and Recon were both still selling reasonably well. So they chose to remake them. It's the sort of "If it ain't broke don't fix it" motif. so that way if the new one on the block is a flop (like the blaster who shall not be named) They still have 2 others that work great.<br /><br />Since I bought the retaliator during christmas time I have yet to use it in combat so I might actually use it in the coming months as a clip fed sidearm. maybe if I run something that does not use clips like my swarmie or the pyragon.Thanimalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13263149027116656064noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5518908358030099316.post-13097278906306387952013-04-09T04:01:17.319+10:002013-04-09T04:01:17.319+10:00Once my friend mods it, the Retaliator will probab...Once my friend mods it, the Retaliator will probably be my second weapon of choice. Why?<br />1) He's an excellent modder that has made an old Longshot we found on the side of the road (original range 25 feet) go at least eighty feet. Just think of what he could do with an Elite blaster.<br />2) It's easy to break down for transport- most of the nerf games I play are just pick-up games where going home to get a Vulcan or a Stampede would just be plain awkward. <br />3) The Recon, once you remove the barrel, is excellently maneuverable.<br /><br />First choice is probably going to be a highly modified Firestrike, because I've won whole games using only its unmodded Dart Tag cousin, the Firestrike. Or a Stryfe- that's light enough to one-hand once it's balanced out using a stock or something. And the Stryfe has no awkward ring priming mechanism.Doc Fizzixhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04768212086930336684noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5518908358030099316.post-22005976803677569102013-04-08T13:08:43.220+10:002013-04-08T13:08:43.220+10:00Well said, man.

This is going to be a class I will heavily consider now for CQB: Stryfe with a 25 drum, grip and Retal stock as primary, with the Retal pistol as a secondary. Versatile enough for any situation!

There are currently 2 other variants of the same action with pump grips and slamfire, just as in the bad old days of reverse plunger CS. If you want a pump grip, get one of those. If you want a pistol or extremely short carbine, get a Retal and put up with the tradeoff in comfort/ROF. Simple.<br /><br />- OMW was first to put out parts for this variant of both RP and DP platforms, because the Recon/Retal action is the original, simplest variant with the lowest cost and fewest complications. The more souped-up derivatives get worked on after the basics are conquered.<br /><br />- Why are people trollishly flaming on in the comments about how people are going to move away from magazines* in the future? Think again.<br /><br />- My NSE guns of choice: Overall/Stock player recommendation, Rampage/EAT. Modder recommendation: Stryfe.<br /><br />- Why Retaliator? Well, it's clean and simple. Basic works sometimes. Good built ones are a lot of fun to shoot, very responsive and solid guns with great performance and reliability.torukmakto4https://www.blogger.com/profile/10734470012890561585noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5518908358030099316.post-58628473995485294812013-04-07T03:00:05.842+10:002013-04-07T03:00:05.842+10:00strangely people went for the retaliator which i d...strangely people went for the retaliator which i did not expect harpuiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03439788026154245664noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5518908358030099316.post-91875444079308535522013-04-07T02:49:14.286+10:002013-04-07T02:49:14.286+10:00My Retaliator became a shelf queen when I bought t...My Retaliator became a shelf queen when I bought the Roughcut, but now I've grown attatched to it. I find the Retaliator and Stryfe to compliment each other very well as you can swap their parts on the go... having a silent long range primary with a semi-auto pistol, or a semi-auto rifle with a powerful pistol for those stealth kills. The Retaliator, to me, feels like the Desert Eagle of nerf side arms. It's the underdog that shakes things up.

It has a stock attachment point and several rails so you can play with a lot of different loadouts to create the perfect blaster for any situation. It has great distance and accuracy, high rate of fire, and Fierce looks. My favorite loadout is with a front grip and a high capacity drum, and sometimes the Raider stock. Add the Recon barrel and a sight for long range suppression fire. The possibilities are endless...

When it first was leaked, obviously I was super excited. When I got it I was not disappointed. The grip was very comfortable. The barrel, does hinder range, can be modified to increase accuracy with ease. The stock, while it is short, I love on the rampage and alpha trooper. The twelve round mag is my personal favorite mag. It has lots of modding potential. My goal is when it's done is to have it hit 90 ft flat easily. It's probably my favorite elite blaster. I say give the stock a chance and try a few mods to it, then decide wether or not you like it.MiniUinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14591870109944195402noreply@blogger.com
