I have also heard about the Rampage being pretty accurate and with it's fast Slam-fire and 35-dart-drum it looks like a very good blaster. The Elite Alpha trooper is good for accuracy as well, I would reccomend it over the Retaliator in indoor fights because it fires faster and it works well in most situations in indoor battles. Outside the Retaliator's range would probably prevail over it though. My friend own's an EAT and it can't even break 30 feet. Don't know if it's defective or the quality's bad. I was thinking of buying the Rampage but it has no stock and you know, the side magwell. Thanks for the info.

No problem. Both me and my brother own Elite Alpha Troopers and have used them a lot, we have had no issues with the range of these blasters and we have been shooting them down long hallways and watching them hit the other side. I think that your friend's blaster is defective or it has been damaged somehow. Another possibility is that the blasters in your area may have reduced ranges due to toy safety laws, or your friend brought the blaster from another place where these toy safety laws came in.
