Faster firing rate, slightly better range, compact design. Plus it's WAY easier to mod when the time comes to mod. Slap in better batteries and yer done.

I also have a pet peeve with the Retaliator. Overhand prime, underhand grip. What were they thinking?

The Stryfe is on the shelf for $20 and the Retaliator is $25. However the Retaliator is slightly more gun for your money, barrel attachment and all. But if performance is your benchmark, go with the Stryfe. I agree even though I do not own a stryfe
