The Hail-Fire was just Hasbro ripping us off. It's large, underwhelming and a pain in the ass to carry if you decide to add more and larger clips (which is what should have been included anyways). A Stryfe with a drum attached would probably be a better deal for the money, although Hasbro still only gave us a measly six darts with that blaster. I agree... I recently got  Stryfe, and have tested it (unmodded) with a variety of mag's. I can report that the 18 dart drum mag's (Alpha Trooper) work great with a Stryfe! The 25 dart drum (Rampage) is OK, and 35 dart drum (Raider) works with some coaxing. When it fails to feed, I adjust the spring tension with the knob on the back of the mag.
