Product Information

Here are the step-by-step instructions on how to do the modding of the Nerf Retaliator gun. Disassembly To be honest, this blaster is more likely to appeal to the older generation of Nerf fans than younger players. The design is a classic and this has its perks for collectors and big kids that either grew up with Nerf or those that want a diverse range. But, there isn’t the same fun design as the bolder sub-themes, nor the current Elite color scheme that today’s kids may prefer. The design of this Nerf N Strike Elite Retaliator Blaster is a classic, and you might find a true original somewhere. Take a look at this unboxing video from ScottVsBox. The Retaliator’s muzzle velocity was pretty standard for Elite series blasters, with an average of just over 71 feet per second.

It was re-released in 2014 with improved Elite XD internals and a white, blue, grey, and orange color scheme; this re-release was shown off at the 2014 Toy Fair. FUN KIDS OUTDOOR TOYS: Nerf toys for boys and girls can be used for indoor or outdoor games for kids. Upgrading components such as catch springs or plunger tubes from Orange Mod Works can optimize the blaster’s performance, contributing to greater power. The accuracy for blasters is pretty much determined by the darts, except where they have rifling in the longer barrels. The Retaliator does not have this, so the type of dart (and its condition) are your limiting factors. In reality, at about 10m you can hit a human….some of the time! Range

Be aware that the original 2012 option was actually orange, but then they switched to the white XD the style we see today in 2014. The majority of models for sale right now are that clean white gun that does look pretty nice. But, true collectors may want to look around for the original orange one if they want to be authentic. There are sure to be second-hand versions out there. i2pc pros_icon=”icon icon-thumbs-up” cons_icon=”icon icon-thumbs-s-down” show_button=”false” pros_title=”Pros” cons_title=”Cons” ][i2pros]There is a classic design that will appeal to collectors In this guide, I want to take a closer look at some of the different features of this Nerf N-Strike Elite Retaliator blaster. I do so with a focus on the modifications and alterations that are possible. Below you will learn more about the following: This design came out in 2012. That might not seem that long ago to older players that may have used it as a 10-year-old 8 years ago. But, there will be lots of 7-year-old players that weren’t born when it was first tearing up battles.

INCLUDES 12 NERF ELITE DARTS AND 12-DART CLIP: The Nerf N-Strike Elite Retaliator blaster includes a removable 12-dart clip and 12 Nerf foam darts Nerf Rival : Another set of pellets that will only fit Rival blasters (they're bigger than Hyper pellets, so won't work on those either).

To mod your Retaliator Nerf blaster, you’ll need a set of basic tools and materials. These may include screwdrivers, pliers, an Allen wrench set, sandpaper, epoxy putty, lubricant, a hot glue gun, a heat source (such as a hairdryer), and various replacement springs and O-rings. So while this is a robust blaster, why you would get one of these over an Alpha Trooper? NERF RapidStrike Review

The big problem is that it does not have slam fire, which makes the rate of fire pretty slow and this is the major Achilles heel compared to the Alpha Trooper. Some people say that this allows you to regulate your rate of fire better. I would agree if we were talking auto vs semi-auto, but slam fire….seriously? It’s important to note that while extending firing distance is a common goal of modding, other factors like accuracy, reliability, and safety should also be considered when making modifications to the blaster. Always test your modified blaster in a controlled environment to ensure it performs as desired without compromising safety. Conclusion It features a direct plunger firing mechanism, which is probably the simplest and most reliable. These internals are almost identical to the Elite Alpha Trooper, just without slam-fire and the pump-action prime.Adding Accessories: Customize your Retaliator by attaching nerf accessories such as scopes, foregrips, or barrel extensions. These accessories not only enhance the blaster’s appearance but can also improve handling and functionality during battles. It’s also essential to follow the manufacturer’s guidelines and understand that modding may void any warranty. Tools and Materials Required The Retaliator features a nice, comfortable grip and the excellent trigger feel you always get with direct plunger blasters. It also has sling mounting points on the butt of the grip.
