Oooh, so much to respond to on this thread (wrings his hands).

Very, very true my friend. If the AR post isn’t fully engaged in the SA, you’ll get a dud. That requires a snug fitting dart, pushed in all the way. Use crappy darts, get crappy results. Right ?

Ahem, 60 feet ? Are these metric feet or standard feet? Because my unmodded Stampede shot around 27 feet pretty consistently. Seems I’m not alone. Keep that Stampede of yours, ‘cause it’s a friggin' freak my friend  😉

I’m not sure what happened there, but I’m sure we could make a bad ass blaster out of those two duds. Double up the springs and do a serious 180°. And by “bad ass”, I mean ill-behaved donkey, of course <span lang="EN" style="margin:0px;color:rgb(58,58,58);font-family:"SegoeUISymbol","sans-serif";font-size:10pt;">Pedroh.

Least favorite blasters: IonFire, SharpFire, FalconFire, unmodded Stampede, Raider, classic LongShot (pick a color), and Recon MKII. All seriously underperforming or bad design IMHO. And when I say MKII, I’m including the Retaliator too, because it’s basically the same blaster in a different motif. Sorry Retaliator fanboys (who haven’t realized your blasters suck yet), but it’s almost 2017 already. Whadda ya expect from a 2012 blaster these day. I mean seriously, have you experienced an Elite HyperFire yet ?
