What you've got here is an "old blaster core" and a "new blaster core". Apologies to whatever dork came up with that nomenclature, but I HATE those labels. It should be Variant 1 and 2, or Version A and B, Type 1 and Type 2, or something like that. But "blaster core" ??? Grammatically backasswards that is, no?  Asked Yoda 😂😂

Now that that's out of the way, this was a BIG deal back in 2016. The original Type-1 blasters could not accept certain large clips like CS-18s and drums like CS-25s. As soon as Hasbro started getting feedback from angry Nerfers, they "recalled" the Type-1 MKIIs and stocked the shelves with Type-2 blasters that didn't have these compatibility issues.

And by "recalled" what they really meant was "sorry Type-1 owners, that's too f'ing bad". I own a Type-1 MKII and Hasbro made no attempt to replace it, exchange it, or otherwise inform me my original blaster was defective. That's not what "recall" means.

Fortunately the NIC was able to quickly come up with a simple Dremel mod that solved the clip compatibility issue. Catastrophe averted 😁

I like the idea of publishing some detailed photos in the gallery. Photographed on a generic white background would be awesome. If it's not too much to ask, proper lighting would be a big plus. Thanks Rskm 👍
