Nerf released a video on the new Elite Retaliator today. We didn't get much information, but we did get a much better look at the Retaliator, as well as confirming some rumors about it:
It's basically everything it's been rumored to be, which means the information we got on the other Elite blasters is probably also accurate. The stock looks cool, but it also looks a little bit short. The 12 dart clips are also interesting, but I'm not sure if they'll really be in demand. It also comes with a standard barrel extension and a Stampede Bipod 2.0.
Follow the link below to the original video:

That stock is beautiful.
ReplyDeleteIf you think about it, the "assault grip" is only useful on full or semi auto blasters due to the need to prime anything else.
ReplyDeleteexactly thats what i thought. Originally i thought that that was gonna be how you prime it, but now it seems useless!
DeleteIf you use the barrel, it makes sense. It's more comfortable to line up shots while holding your hand vertically rather than across the bottom of the barrel.
Deleteyeah but if you are priming from up top, you dont wanna go back and hold it, especially when you shoot fast like me.
DeleteYou could mod it with a manta style priming mechanism.
DeleteLooks kind of like a recon :/
ReplyDeleteI kno l'll sound obvius saying this but it is
DeleteIt really looks like an upgraded recon except it has cooler accesories
ReplyDeleteI hope it dose better out of the box then the recon
ReplyDeleteIt said on a video from nerf that it does 15 meters or about 50 feet so it's pretty much better
DeleteThat's not bad , I wonder if I could put ita OMW recon mas kit in it or if the make one for it ,
DeleteNo duh it looks like a recon it is the recon 2.0
ReplyDeleteI see no one here saw it so i will point it out for you, the "right" side only of the 12 dart clip is transparent and the left is not, i don't know why they didn't make it completely transparent like the vest clips. I do love the stock and I believe this will be pretty much an upgrade recon. Just note if this is $40 or less it will be cheaper than buying a recon and a orange mod works upgrade kit.
ReplyDeleteHey Drac will you get this and mod it for us so we can see the specs and see how far it shoots modded
ReplyDeleteHey drac nice channel and 75 feet is hard to believe the AR is probably removed and a spring upgrade so it probably won't need modding except for locks
ReplyDeleteI find it hard to believe that Nerf would make a blaster with no AR. They implemented it in the first place to be safe. Also, blasters without ARs can break easier so Nerf uses them to protect the life of their blasters. Odds are that these new blasters use a more efficent style of AR and stronger spring, maybe a tighter barrel, better seal and stuff.
DeleteYes and it has a direct plunger system instead of a weaker reverse plunger system.
DeleteTo get the ranges it is getTing it should already be somewhat modded. I dont believe there will be a mod guide for it.
ReplyDeleteSo, let me get this straight. At the moment, with the exception of the Hailfire, it's looking like the Elite range is just a revamp of current blasters with different names, paintjobs and internals. Would I be right in saying that?
ReplyDeleteYep, it seems so!
Deleteno,you don't know what might come.
Deleteninja dude wtf is your problem you keep putting a bucket of cold water on everything
DeleteIt looks like its gonna prime just like the recon
ReplyDeleteYou could make use of the grip by unscrewing the tact rail part and take the rest and hot glue/gorilla glue it to the side of the priming mechanic so it would be easier to reprime.
