Belt driven RapidStrike. (KABLAM !)  Mind blown.

To Flat's point, it does seem like there was a shift from pushers to belts. Rereleasing the RapidStrike with a 1x Scope and a Long Range Barrel extension repaint seems like a backward move to me. Hmmm. I'll bet it has something to do with money.

In my experience, the conveyor system has been less reliable than the traditional mechanical pusher. I'll concede, it might be certain blasters, and I may have gotten a lemon. But my HyperFire is super reliable, and my Regulator, well, isn't. I think it has something to do with the length of the belt tooth, but I don't have any data to back that up.

At any rate, a lot will depend on the StratoHawk's price point. I'm keeping an eye out.
