You realize way experienced modders can't make Megas accept elites, and if the centurion accepts elites, it's probably gonna be banned. The most advanced Centurion mod is the direct plunger one, and that's not even close to the Centurion accepting Elites, the Mega line is like a failure. A Magnus is smaller than a Stryfe, but 3 darts for a blaster it's size is just dissapointing. Excuse me for trying to think up ways to better otherwise lackluster blasters. There actually is a video of a Magnus modded to accept Elites, although I can't find it at the moment. It's as simple as a basic rechambering, something that modders have done hundreds of times before, and a slight modification to the magazine. I think it held 5 darts, but that's because it was single-stack.

As for stock capacity, what do you want, a miracle? I can tell without even opening up the Magnus that it's as small as it's design requirements are going to allow. It's a marvel of toy engineering, how they managed to fit a direct plunger and a complete breech and magazine with a dart nearly twice as wide in diameter as a stock Elite dart, and one and a half times as long, in a package smaller than the smallest flywheel blaster in the Nerf Elite line. And it shoots 10 feet further than said blaster. Low capacity or not, that's truly impressive. I'm not saying the Magnus is perfect, but it doesn't deserve the flak it's getting. It's bigger brother is the one that's earned it's share of castor oil.
