My guess is that since the Accustrike line is meant for accuracy (duh!) the original sights are designed so to be used at an angle since Nerf Blasters have a longer range when angled. Then too many people complained that "the sights don't line up" so Hasbro just removed them altogether since reshaping them would be expensive because it requires a new mold. Blame incompetence.
