What!? A recon with 75 feet stock range? My heavily modded recon with stefans barely gets 60 feet. 128.120.174.212 23:57, February 14, 2012 (UTC)

I believe the dart material allows for increased range, and also the internals of these blasters will be beefed up, such as better air seals, stronger and sturdier plungers, and possibly no air restrictors. The advertised stock range is most definately not a lie, as Nerf has rarely lied about ranges. Btw, you have to remember that this isn't a recon. It's a retaliator. It is just similiar to the recon.

Well I'm definitely going to have to get one of these. I wonder how NERF is going to get the plastic to withstand the forces involved in propelling a dart 75 feet (polycarbonate mabye?). I can't recall any time where NERF has lied about the ranges, but some of the reverse plunger blasters like the longstrike and deploy are kinda iffy in getting the advertised range. 128.120.174.212 20:20, February 22, 2012 (UTC)

The Retaliator is going to be wicked awesome! Can't wait. I've always been a big fan of the Recon!

75 ft. range!? (Whoa.) Iwant to get it for Christmas.

you are correct ripper, its just a Recon cs-6 shell. it doesn't necessarily mean that its still a Recon cs-6.

rifleing
A leaked retaliator was examined and the pics show rifleing on the barrel. Seems interesting. 174.69.113.95 12:31, June 4, 2012 (UTC)anonymous

I just discovered a new way the retaliator is better than the recon! Bolt-action priming! You can put the grip on the priming handle and prime it that way! I researched, and it's possible mod-free! I just ordered one this morning. (i'm the one who put that on the retaliator's page)

While that works OK for pulling the slide back, the handle doesn't stay on well enough to push the slide back forward using that trick.

Ok I was very confused when, for christmas 2012 my retaliator came with a 6 dart clip instead of the 12 dart clip. My gun also included only 6 darts. Im not sure if nerf is ripping me off because you would think that if the 6 clip was an accident that it would still have 12 darts. If someone could please help that would be great!

Should be pretty easy to tell, a Recon is yellow and a Retaliator is blue. They come with very different accessories as well.

Bluedragon1971 (talk) 05:20, February 17, 2013 (UTC)

I know for a fact it came with the retaliator stock, grip and in blue and here is also that it says retaliator on the side of the gun.72.201.248.67 05:22, February 17, 2013 (UTC)Ethan

Maybe someone bought it and a Stryfe, took the 12 dart clip and pack of 12 darts from the Retaliator, put the 6 dart clip and darts back into the Retaliator box, and returned it before you bought it. The only other possibility is a mistake at the factory, but that is highly unlikely.

Depends on the item (and the store). Yeah, they are going to check things like high end electronics, but most stores aren't going to check a $20 toy. Even if they did, most customer service reps wouldn't know the difference between a 12 dart clip and a 6 dart clip. As you know, I have worked in retail for a long time, and believe me, I've seen some really crazy things that people have returned (or tried to return). And especially around the holidays, customer service people are usually way too busy to check much of anything.

Anyone thinks that it looks funny with the 35 dart drum?The King of Spiders (talk) 16:46, February 24, 2013 (UTC)

Something funny I noticed the other day at Walmart. The shipping carton for the Retaliator is labeled as "Elite Recon". Maybe the name change was a last minute one.

Bluedragon1971 (talk) 20:02, March 13, 2013 (UTC)

It's not that surprising you know, it IS basically an Elite Recon - it's the Recon's succcessor. So there.

What is this supposed jamming issue??
Calebchur, what is this supposed jamming issue you claim many Retaliator users have experienced? I haven't heard of this; you should be able to back up your statement with forum or video links. 🤔 If not, remove the statement.

Discontinued?
I still see some at Walmart and Target. Everyday.

4 combinations
I believe that this number doesn't take in account where the Assault Grip goes, which would only be 4 combinations. If you count combos with putting the Assault Grip in impractice places like the top of the blaster or barrel, there's 10 combos I believe. For simplicity it should just be 4.

 * Yeah, I had a feeling that might have been the case. If it's that complicated, then it probably is not worth mentioning in the trivia section, since there isn't really a means of telling what's an intended combo or not. I'm going to go ahead and remove that bit. Jet  ( Talk  *  Contributions ) -   Reference links: Wiki Guidelines * Wiki Code of Conduct * Manual of Style
