Enhancing Your Nerf Retaliator: A Step-by-Step Mod Guide

Nerf blasters like the Retaliator are a staple in many households, but over time, they can lose their power and performance. One common issue is the barrel drag that reduces the blaster's feet per second. In this mod guide, we will walk you through upgrading your Retaliator with new springs to boost its performance.

Baseline Performance Check

Before diving into the mod process, it's essential to establish a baseline for your Retaliator's performance. Using a chronograph, we took a few shots with the stock blaster to gauge its initial stats. The readings varied, but they provided us with a starting point for comparison.

• Stock Retaliator readings:
  • 73.4 fps
  • 66.3 fps
  • 50.9 fps
  • 58.1 fps

The Mod Process

Disassembly and Spring Upgrade

1. Remove the N-Strike stock and detach the clip to access the core components of the Retaliator.
2. Disassemble the blaster to replace the old spring with a new seven-kilogram spring for enhanced performance.
3. Ensure all parts are properly seated, including the catch mechanism, to prevent misfires and improve stability.

Performance Testing

After the spring upgrade, we retested the Retaliator's performance using the chronograph. The results were striking:

• Upgraded Retaliator readings:
  • 130 fps
  • 123 fps
  • 99.7 fps

The FPS increase demonstrated the effectiveness of the spring upgrade in boosting the blaster's power.

Barrel Attachment and Adjustment

With the upgraded spring, we tested the Retaliator with and without the barrel extension to observe the impact on performance. The barrel extension slightly reduced the FPS, making it an ideal option for a more controlled play environment, especially when engaging with younger players.

Conclusion and Future Mods

By following this mod guide, you can transform your Retaliator into a high-powered blaster ready for competitive play. As you explore further mod options, consider factors like ease of priming and user-friendliness, especially when modding blasters for younger players.

Don't hesitate to experiment with different spring weights to find the perfect balance between performance and usability for your specific needs. Stay tuned for more exciting mod projects and unboxings in our upcoming videos!
