There is nothing smaller and more reliable than a Jolt. In fact, the PocketStrike and the NanoFire are really just variants of the Jolt. Although, a case could be made that almost all muzzle loaders are simply Jolt reshells. But I digress.

Among the blasters you mentioned, the Triad and the SecretStrike are the only real outliers. So really it depends on whether you want a springer or an air powered blaster, and whether you have any intentions of modding it. The only SecretStrike I've ever had my hands on, could not hold a charge for more than a few minutes. Granted, it was older and probably had a pinhole leak somewhere. But on the whole, it was overwhelmingly underwhelming.

The NanoFire is literally a Jolt reshell. If you want a bulkier baby-blue Jolt, this is the one for you.

The Triad on the other hand, is a very reliable 3 shot blaster. The smart-AR is virtually foolproof, except if you get dirt or sand in it. It has the same range and consistency as the Jolt as long as you use decent darts. If you're gonna use old worn-out Streamlines, you'll get what you deserve.

In my humble opinion, it's just a toss up between the Jolt or the PocketStrike, and the Triad. It's one shot, or three. Your choice.
