[@coolisasome1076]

GrimzNerfWorks yeah it is pretty rare but due to the centurions weird magazine loading system of a centurion fails it is almost always catastrophic. Mine broke cause a dart James in it weird had the sonic ice variant. I think a lot of it’s issue could have been fixed if they gave you a way to remove the barrel and gave it a normal dart chambering system.

I bet that the trigger wouldn't be so sticky if Hasbro had used a metal spring instead of a plastic leaf spring. That's definitely something for the mod guide. As for performance, the Stryfe's stock performance is also pretty poor compared to Elite clip-fed springers. But the advantage of the Stryfe is its mod support. Almost anything you dislike about the blaster can be fixed with the right parts/kit. I'm excited to see what parts are made for the Motostryke. As soon as there's a source for cheapish extra clips (instead of just thrifting Centurions), I'll pick one up.

The rattle when revving and the trigger issue you’re having I don’t have on mine. There’s gotta be some QC issues with it, which it isn’t surprising. The mag clunkyness is there though and I hate it

[@CERTAIND00M]

That is a bummer. How did they get the Mastodon to fire so smoothly? Oh, right. It's gi-normous and requires a fistful of D batteries to operate. I guess we'll always have the Twinshock, even if it is a springer.

[@benfurdyna]

Drac... why don't you ever talk about the C size adaptors for AA batteries? Cuts weight and costs!!

[@Saito64th]

The ones that let you put more than one AA battery in a C/D size shell? While you'd lighten the weight, it'll never be comparable to using a true C/D battery in terms of capacity and discharge.

[@Midnight890]

@@Saito64th Sure not capacity but in terms of discharge that’s kinda wrong if you use nimh AA. It is a little better this way. I tested it on some nerf blasters

from what i’ve seen internal wise, they got rid of the trigger spring and opted for plastic prong like things to push the trigger back. but it’s mainly resetting for the return spring for the pusher rather than both a spring for the trigger and pusher

70 is actually not bad considering it is firing larger heavier ammo. Also, I think the big problem on this is the friction. Mabye some cleaning up in the Magwell could fix that

[@justinvzu01]

@@frand5921 Rifling really won't help much with nerf. The velocity is simply too low to induce a spin into the dart, combined with the short barrel lenght. It's just adding extra manufacturing cost at that point.

[@vipersnerfworks3453]

Over a year and half later, and I've finally modded my own. A couple notes I'd like to put up 1: this does not use rival motors. They're 280s, rival motors are 360s 2: the return spring was cut too long, and the leaf springs on your trigger aren't helping your cause. Lop off the leaf springs and cut the end off of your extension spring. Take a knife or screwdriver and bend back 2-3 coils and reattach it. You'll have that buttery smooth trigger pull like the hailfire after that.

[@Balmung60]

I really don't get the Centurion hate. It's not war-practical because of the long priming stroke and huge size, but it works absolutely fine for a large bolt-action blaster. It actually takes me significant effort to short-stroke it badly enough to cause it to eat a dart as it's so infamous for doing. It's possible they improved it in some way on the later production runs, but for some reason, it's often treated as Deploy-tier trash. Edit: Also at least its trigger spring works right and isn't a crappy plastic leaf spring

[@cside19]

And this is why when I found a twin shock randomly in store recently , I bought that instead.
