My ordeal started when the dart post and a piece of the AR just flew out of the end of the barrel one day. The AR was sealed shut and it wouldn't work at all. So I had no choice, I HAD to remove the rest of the AR just to get it working again. I padded the plunger head, put it back together, and it's been working great for years. No other mods. It shoots just over 100 FPS, and it's very consistent. I love it. But other than the AR, the rest of the EAT/EXDAT is pretty well designed. It shares a lot in common with the Rampage, and the internals are similar to the Retaliator. And nobody talks about how "fragile" those blasters are.

Bottom line, if you're gonna remove the AR you HAVE to pad the plunger head, whether you're upgrading the spring or not. Otherwise you're just asking for trouble - in any of these blasters.
