You're absolutely right. No argument. But there's only so much you can do with a Mediator (as reflected by the lack of mods you didn't post). On the other hand, there are literally hundreds, if not thousands of mods for the Stryfe. The list grows daily.

Fundamentally you're not wrong. I have a Caliburn springer that shoots full length darts at 320 FPS. At the same time, the "glass ceiling effect" has limited most of my flywheel blasters to just under 150 FPS. So from that aspect you are absolutely correct.

But let's be frank, the Mediator ain't no Caliburn. If you're starting with a stock blaster, and shooting for an epic mod, start with a Stryfe. It's a no-brainer.
