I'm not sure how that's even possible. They're virtually identical. They both use the same motors, the same cage & flywheels, same pusher, and the same battery configuration. It's like claiming the orange Stryfe shoots faster than the blue one 🙄

That being said, there are minor variations in manufacturing tolerances, and of course the "lemon" factor. Coop is very thorough. He often claims to shoot thousands of test rounds with multiple dart types. But he's not testing dozens of StratoHawks against dozens of RapidStrikes. And as we know, he's not immune to getting the occasional bum blaster. *cough* Ultra One *cough*

If we're talking about a 1 dart-per-second difference, that's totally plausible with his specific Strato and his particular RapidStrike. But otherwise, the core blasters are absolutely identical. Except for the color and paint. So Coop's claim doesn't make much sense.
