Should you leave the slide forward for an extended period of time, it will eventually slightly dent the plastic and make marks on it. Why is this an issue? It becomes very hard to pull the slide back once you fire. The only thing the retaliator is good for is reloading speed, because the clip release is very responsive and you don't have to pull the clip out and it'll instead fall out, but everything else about it is bad. The only real reason anyone bought it is to have an N-Strike Elite stock, handle and barrel attachment, let's be honest. You'll rather chew up your darts and finish up your ammo with the unaccurate feature? Add a slam-fire handle ontop of the Retaliator and boy, isn't that blaster lookin' ridiculous! Get an Aussie version. Get a Recon then, it is the short answer, less range but it was and maybe even still is the M16 of nerf blasters.
