Ugh. Another frustrating night with the Tri-Strike. Turns out the stock is glued together too. Getting inside to improve the seal is more work than this modder wants to invest. Sorry boys.

I also discovered why the missile launcher was performing so poorly. The missile post (if that's what you call it) was bent. When the dart left the end of the post, one of the fins would catch against the edge of the shell, sending it into a weird trajectory. A spring clamp and an hour of pressure seems to have rectified the problem. Maybe.

So here's the score:

1) The main blaster is okay, except it needs a Alpha Trooper spring. Oh, and the magazine release is too far forward to release with one hand. So reloading turns out to be a two handed job. Yeah, nice.

2) The Mega blaster section is unreliable. And unless you've got decent upper body strength, you won't get a shot past 15 feet. Sometimes it fires one dart, sometimes it fires two. Sometimes you get 30 feet, sometimes 7  (actual mileage may vary).

3) The missile blaster is shi, er, I mean inconsistent. The missile post wasn't centered in the shell, so you'll be lucky to hit a dumpster at 2 yards. Okay, that's an exaggeration. 1 yard,

4) The stock is glued together so that you can't get into it. No chance of seal improvements. However, removing the grill on the end of the missile post seems to be an improvement.

I sound bitter, don't I ?
