The 18-dart drum is still available online, but the Rampage come with a 25-dart drum. The Longstrike barrel doesn't actually do anything (neither does the Recon's), but the Rampage's barrel might; it's rifled (I suspect the barrels for the Retaliator and Elite Alpha Trooper might also be rifled). The Recon's sight fits the other blaster's accesory rails, but it's of limited use; I usually just sight down the rail itself.

If the barrel doesn't have to be removable, I would get the Rampage or the Elite version of the Alpha Trooper... otherwise get a Retaliator, and add the accesories you want.

Hint: The Rapid Strike Mission Kit consists of the core Retaliator blaster, and two 18 dart straight mag's... no stock, barrel, or foregrip.

I hope this helps. Just pointing out, at the speed nerf darts travel and the distances they go, rifling does next to nothing. I would either use centurion or my recon with a spring loaded party popper on the bottom that acts like a shotgun, sending a spray of 9 or so darts in front of me with a range of about 2.5-3m You are using the wrong blasters, man. Especially if you adapted your playstyle to them. Get a Stryfe, it's infinitely more effective in the ranges you're inevitably fighting at.
