Oooh, oooh, me first !

I do not like my MKII. It's a Retaliator repaint, let's start there. With a crummy stock, that's functionally unusable. And the snub nose muzzle attachment does nothing for it functionally or aesthetically. (I would call it a "barrel extension", but that's a joke)

There's a tac rail on top of the priming handle, which makes it essentially useless. If you do put an attachment on it, it's practically impossible to grab the handle. And I find the priming handle itself uncomfortable. The nubs on the tac rail cut into my hands.

Maybe I got a lemon, but the range on the stock MKII was terrible. So I upgraded the spring. And it was still terrible ! Maybe it needs the AR removed to get decent performance. I dunno.

Modding the MKII is more difficult than many blasters. There's a hexagonal tenon (pin) behind the jam door that's makes it notoriously difficult to butterfly. And it was no picnic getting it back together after upgrading the spring because the internals don't want to stay together long enough to get the shell back together. Ugh.

At the end of the day, the Recon MKII is probably the most disappointing blaster I've bought so far. Followed closely by the IonFire.
