If you remove the IAR you're putting the same amount of air through 3-8 holes instead of just one. On a Triad it might not be too much of a problem but on a Rough Cut you're essentially ruining your blaster.

The air restrictors on Elite blasters are so free-flowing that removing them makes little difference in the power (tested this on my Firestrike), so there's no real reason to get rid of them (it might even be a negative thing to do because of increased plunger wear). well, it would be fun to fire all darts at once, but i get your point. plus it actually reduces range by 30-55 feet.
