I remember when I asked for the original Alpha Trooper and I got really excited - it was probably the 18-dart capacity. When I actually tried the gun out, it was okay for the time and I carried it a number of places. Firing it nowadays is just disappointing - in fact it's one of my least favorite Nerf guns. It has no real stopping power to it...or at least it doesn't feel that way. Even if the Elite version has fixed the range and jamming issues, I'm not sure I would feel that comfortable with it. Compare this to the Retaliator (which is my favorite blaster), a rifle which hits hard, accurate enough to be reliable and just feels right wielding it. I'm aware that whether a weapon feels right is completely up to your own experience, but if any of you have both on hand, try just holding them both and see which one is more comfortable.
