If I'm correct about the Gator's internals, it is possible to achieve 100ft+ ranges with a simple PVC over the awful peg (no joke).

But yeah, I see your point. I like the Retaliator, but it is outclassed by a lot of stuff out there nowadays. I would still use one from time to time though (then again, I still use Mavericks and Nite-Finders and plenty of other old blasters).
