Zuna did a fine job explaining the Stryfe situation. Bravo !

I just want to add that the Stryfe is probably the premier platform for modding in the NIC at this point in time. Almost every good mod is designed for the Stryfe. Its small footprint, attachment points, clip compatibility, and solid design make it a perfect candidate for modding. It's my personal fave. Plus, the flywheel cages are cross-compatible with the RapidStrike, so there's huge opportunities there too.

Its stock performance is deceiving. It's not any better or worse than any blaster in the Modulus/N-Strike line. They all fire about 60 FPS out of the box. But modded, it's a whole new ball game. Just check out my Full-Auto Stryfe thread. This thing can be a beast.

So if you're not a modder, the Stryfe is on par with all the other flywheel blasters in the Nerf line. The fact that it has barrel AND stock attachment points is a big plus. You can configure it a hundred different ways to compliment your play style. But that's all just cosmetic.

If you want to dabble with modding, this might not be the blaster to start with. Many of the Stryfe kits are for experienced modders. It's best to start small before jumping into the deep end of the pool. My advice is buy a Stryfe now, while you can. If you never mod it, then so be it. But at least you'll have one in case you're ready to get started.
