Modulus Strike and Defend Upgrade Kit

Modulus Strike and Defend Upgrade Kit

The Tacticool Nerfer is happy. Hasbro decided to make something that is designed for nerf-war practicality, and then they threw in a bunch of awesome. The Strike and Defend kit has something for everyone- the sneaky offense, the practical defense, and the extra tactical rail. One of these ranks higher on my list than the others…

Let's start with the cons.

Bad:

  • Ergonomics. Hardly a complaint, but the handle is not one I would like to be holding all day.
  • Shield? What shield? You mean they included a shield in the package? Oh yeah, I guess they did. Hadn't noticed it there.
  • Wobbly for a stock. The Blaster Stock is less stable at the connection point than most if you're using it on a flywheel blaster. If your attachment point includes that odd protrusion found on most springers, though, it's plenty stable.
  • Switched proportions. The shield is too small, whereas the stock is slightly overlarge. See pictures below.
  • Unwieldy to remove. I feel like I would have to set the blaster down each time I wanted to pull off the stock to shoot its dart. The catch is just too, too far from the trigger.

Neutral:
  • The shield. It hardly will protect you from darts, but I guess it's not that bad.

Good:
  • Tactical rail. You can now put extra attachments ON YOUR STOCK! How cool is that?
  • Easy to paint. All the gray parts and most of the orange you see can be separately removed, so you can do awesome paint jobs with much less taping.
  • Simple. The Blaster Stock is easy to prime, and easy to fire. Intuitive? You don't know the meaning of the word until you've used this product.
  • Darts. "And if you call now, you can get not one, but TWO darts in the package!" Just kidding. It always comes with two. It's like an automatic "double-your-darts" deal.
  • Blaster Stock size comparison with a Doublestrike
  • Okay, okay, the shield. It's growing on me. It folds down, flips up, and looks pretty sick. Who cares whether it will actually block incoming darts?
