Well, I've learned a lot in the last 36 hours thanks to the Docta. There are a whole bunch of different clip designs spanning several different Nerf eras. I always assumed they were basically all the same, but no, successive generations of blasters have many different clip variations. (friggin' Hasbro!)

This CS-12 pictured right, has an entirely different type of shell. It required cutting the solvent weld from the back-side because it uses a completely different type of tab than my CS-6 clips.

Plus the follower was, yet again, a different design. It has posts on both sides that extend way below the follower, for no apparent reason. And the shell has internally boxed corners to accommodate the rubber bumpers. The spring also bunches up an entirely different way compared to a CS-6, so that no amount of shell cutting would have increased the travel.

But after I got all that worked out, I was still able to get 14 darts into this CS-12 with relatively few problems. It can be a little finicky, and I did have a few uncharacteristic misfires in the otherwise super-reliable Rampage I tested it in, but all in all I'd call this a success.
