Taleco, the Stryfe is a better stock blaster than the Retaliator IMHO. I have one of each (well an MKII if we're being nitpicky) and prefer the Stryfe. Faster firing rate, slightly better range, compact design. Plus it's WAY easier to mod when the time comes to mod. Slap in better batteries and yer done.

I also have a pet peeve with the Retaliator. Overhand prime, underhand grip. What were they thinking?

The Stryfe is on the shelf for $20 and the Retaliator is $25. However the Retaliator is slightly more gun for your money, barrel attachment and all. But if performance is your benchmark, go with the Stryfe.
