The mag strike I think is way too much. I mean seriously, who would pay almost double the price for an old blaster with preformance slightly better than the jolt (My Icon Magstrike only shot at an average of around 55-50 FPS.) I mainly bought it to test how fast and how hard it hit. I would say $30 is a more acceptable price for it. But anything more is an obvious cash grab. We live in a very different world of nerf than before. We have whole 3D printed custom made blasters and batteries and motors that outperform so many older blasters and heck, even newer ones. That's why I really don't see a place for the magstrike unless you dedicated hours of work into making a CO2 magstrike, which is fast sure, but you'd still only have 1 burst of 10. That's it. And if the argument is "carry more clips" while astute, is still not very effective. You'd have to buy so many magstrikes and clips on eBay can be quite rare.
