Can it be modded ? Hmmm. Gotta say, I haven't been tempted by the DoubleBreach since I saw the very first review. Still makes me sad.

But I've been inside a LOT of blasters, XFR. (I can't help it. It's a compulsion really. I just can't stop. Did I mention it's a compulsion ???) While watching Dracs video, I saw a bunch of red flags. Red flag #1: the bolt sled/plunger arrangement is unique. Haven't seen anything like it in any of the N-Strike, Rebelle, Zombie Strike, DoomLands, or Modulus blasters. And when I say unique, I don't mean in a good way.

Red flag #2, pins. Wherever you find pins, you find problems. The mech is intentionally designed not to come apart. I've modded many blasters with pins, and I always feel like I'm breaking them when I take them apart. Partly because, I am.

Red flag #3, the ABS. As soon as I saw that shiny plastic ABS in the priming mech and bolt sled, I cringed. That kind of plastic is rigid, brittle, and doesn't put up with additional stresses very kindly. No wonder Drac didn't double up the spring. I'll bet he thought it'd damage the sled or break the catch. Wise man.

So my final answer is, yes, it can be modded. But the question is, how many hours are you willing to spend, and will you be satisfied with the final result. I'm willing to bet that your final answer is H-E-double-hockey-sticks NO, it's totally not worth it.

Now for something completely different. Let me introduce you to the Stryfe. Mod potential: off the chain.
