NERF Modulus SHADOW ICS-6 Review (RETURN OF THE INTERNAL MAG!) | Walcom S7

[@WalcomS7]

Do you like these kinds of reviews, or reviews where I've already unboxed the blaster and already have an opinion down? Very important you let me know. www.strawpoll.me/17176960

How did they screw this up all they had to do was make a clear light up retaliator with an internal mag, WHY HOW, HASBRO!?!?!

@Time to DEPLOY big Facts bro💯💯 they have been doing this to all of us for quite some time 😡😡😡😡😡

Yikes... could work hpa tho

[@bigtimedom9660]

Is it worse than the battle scout

[@cside19]

If you're wondering. The spring is only the size of a hammershot.... so yeah... most spring replacements are a no... basically all of this blaster is a no.

At least a dumpster fire would keep you warm, but rather just stay inside on those days and play video games, like Kingdom Hearts.

[@piesuckz8692]

Just use the retaliator with a six dart mag

[@shockedmusic1]

even the reload is faster lmao

[@jacktaylor5018]

Agreed, a six round Retaliator would cast a blinding light on the shadow. I'd go so far as to say that my N-Strike Recon has slightly better range & more customisable too 😝

[@scp-6659]

I use a 6 round mag and a shorten Retaliator barrel for my Retaiator.

[@InventorZahran]

I know this would invalidate its transparency, but I think the Shadow could look good with a pump-action system and a paint job...

[@WalcomS7]

If you can get some power out of it, sure, I'd pump-action it.

This is such a shame. i was really looking forward to this one too. :(

[@WalcomS7]

It's still, "cool". It's just not 25$ cool. Just not, "I should through a stock, barrel, tactical LED light, and side-mounted optics" cool.

[@kalashboi]

Maybe you could extend the breech to close over the dart completely to get a better seal, then cut a hole in the empty side and load the internal mag from there? I think this blaster has potential.

[@scp-6659]

The moment I saw this in my subscriptions, I was afraid that this was going to out-do my Silenced Pistol looking Retaliator. I dunno if the fact that a Jolt outpowers this thing makes me glad or not..

He outranged all his shots by throwing it.

[@jaredbaker5447]

I feel like this breech system would be better suited for a rifle sized blaster. Maybe with a bigger plunger tube/spring it would be better. And what advantage does it have over the standard breech system? Sure you don't have to prime it to load, but you can't load it when a dart is chambered, and who runs around without a dart chambered? Neat concept, bad idea. Also this is the perfect opportunity for nerf to release a clear version of the nitron scope

[@buck0486]

I picked one of these up last week from Target, and I also am very disappointed with the performance. I thought I had a lemon, thanks for confirming that it's just that bad.

[@76hotrodF250]

Dang, I had hoped this would be good. They should have used a breach system similar to the Magnus or Han Solo Blaster. Solo blaster being one of favorite goof around blasters, its just fun to use.

[@WalcomS7]

Yes, they should have used the efficient breech system they already have used in dozens of blasters :) So disappointed.

[@disappointednep-nep2430]

I’d totally buy this. Most wars I go to are mostly indoors and I don’t have a lot of magazines or darts anyways

[@xemirov9298]

another internal mag - finally ! Pure awesomness :D

[@jimmybarr9411]

You can strait up hack off an inch or more off the front. I would have liked an 8 or 10 round internal mag, that would have made more sense and wouldn't have ruined the everything in my opinion. That switch in the front is also on the Evader. I think the only thing you can do with that, is to convert it into a flywheeler, and that's probably not worth it to put it lightly... That is just sad, I am disappointed, but I still like the video :D

[@Jackalblade9]

Damn but this makes me sad....and I feel thwarted. I thought the Nailbiter was going to be gimmicky garbage and this was going to be awesome. Now I want two Nailbiters and I kind of want to forget this exists.

[@goatman7362]

So all we need is worker or someone to make a metal version of the internals, but have the internals include a proper barrel and a larger and more efficient plunger tube

[@antoinettemelchiors4864]

I don't know if I'm wrong here but isn't this just a front loader? (internally) because it looks like the "breach" shoves a dart in the barrel (like you would on a front loader) then it shoots it with the tiniest barrel. Is this actualy true?

[@dustyfedora]

Can’t wait to see Nerf Clip mods for this blaster

[@Brawlkings93]

nice choice of music, dustforce has a fantastic soundtrack :D

[@WalcomS7]

It really does, I knew I bought it for a reason.

[@maxwe117]

Got one of these and a negotiator as part of a deal, king story short: I now have 2 negotiators, both modded, and a pile of clear pieces...

[@gluenerf9087]

Hasbro saw nic players vacuum loading and copied the breach system

[@theredstormer8078]

I feel like if you cut the whole thing in half than extended the body and replaced the entire back area with something a bit better than MAYBE you could get some good performance but as you said that would basically be a complete overhaul.

[@JopStoffels]

At least if you paint it brown and throw on something like a longstrike barrel and a long stock you could kinda somehow use it as a sort of M1 Garand

[@johnarguello]

As of today, January 2019, the cost for this plaster is now $46. Just thought you'd like to know. I agree with your assessment.

[@JEDiTV]

[@twitchmofo9842]

Definitely going to wait to see you mod this before I even consider buying this. I never had a deploy before but this seems worse than a deploy.

[@bigmommadeadlock3945]

Hey at least you could use it's very nice looking shell and have a perma stock putting much better internals back in that

[@arutezza]

it's a very pretty blaster you could try to replace some of the internals with magnus internals

[@jackkirkland5639]

It’s a lot easier to load if you put the back of the dart in first.

[@tomdongerson1474]

Just because you can make a blaster light up doesn’t mean it won’t suck

[@j.vdberg9159]

A slowmotion video could make the working of the strange firing system more clear (than just the shell)

[@Yakkers]

What else had an internal mag before this, just the quick 16?

[@WalcomS7]

The Jakku/DL-44, The Speedload 6/Quick 16. That's all I can think of off the top of my head.

[@jayro8255]

This might be good candidate still for ftw set up. Use the light trigger as rev trigger

[@Haciendamann]

Hey Nerf, listen and learn: BRING BACK THE SPEEDLOAD 6 AND QUICK 16 FOR ELITE DARTS!!! Sorry for yelling, but this should be heard. ;o)

[@RoryStarr]

The shell is still pretty sweet and that's enough to motivate someone to build something better. I mean, modding started with reverse plunger weaksauce blasters. We have 3d printers and options. We will show Hasbro what it should have been.

[@gamerguy425]

so basically this is like a retaliator that is stuck using 6-round mags you have to reload manually. lol. I bet someone could up the capacity by merging it with a 14-round mag or something kinda like when people (or one guy I should say) merged a centurion mag into the Magnus

[@icedelectriced]

Oh lord this is depressing

[@Tigershark_3082]

They could've just used the shell from that dart-tag blaster, that also had the internal magazine. Also, can someone tell me why this looks like a slightly more futuristic Mauser C96?

[@masterSageHarpuia]

i don't understand why they didn't follow the han solo blaster breach system???

[@geekmonkey895]

[@Jmlee149]

The shadow ICS-6 is one of my new favorite blasters. I have hit 93 FPS (Using a Caldwell crono) and can fit 7 darts with no external magazine mods.

[@elsieghouli661]

I mean, it looks like there's about enough room for Retaliator internals. Could massively boost the performance that way

[@artemistherin9262]

[@GWR5538]

Walcom if you want a better internal magazine pistol get the star wars han solo blaster than glue a bigger magazine in I did it for mine and it is easy and works great

[@wadekirby8575]

How hard would it have been for them to have put an elite size Magnus mechanism in it (with a larger mag)?

[@WalcomS7]

Not that hard considering they've done it multiple times. Granted those had problems as well, but not nearly as many as this...

[@Skidracer21]

I guess you're best off slapping a Blastercore Afterburner onto it.
