Since I've been profusely hating on the Retaliator for a long long time, I'll save you another long rant. Bottom line I don't like its design or its ergonomics. I don't like the overhand prime - underhand grip. I don't like the feel of the priming handle. And I don't like the faux forward grip. If you've fired a Rampage or a Mediator, you'll know what I'm talking about.

At great expense, it's definitely possible to upgrade the Reta to perform like a modern inexpensive stock blaster. If you have the time, money, and energy to do that, then godspeed.

But lookit, not all blasters are created equal. In the end, the Retaliator needs to be retired. Hasbro has milked this has-been for way too long. IMHO
