Modulus Stealth Ops Upgrade Kit (Tacticool Stealth Edition)

Modulus Stealth Ops Upgrade Kit

Note: I painted this kit before reviewing it. So you guys instead get the review of the ultra-exclusive "Tacticool Stealth Edition*", which comes in black, rather than white. And certainly not that annoying green trim…  After all, it's for Stealth Ops. Black is much stealthier than white (not to mention cooler).

This kit is almost purely for aesthetics, since a Red Dot Sight doesn't even slightly increase the dart's accuracy, and a Proximity Barrel in no way does anything but look sweet. The Pivot Grip is the one strong point for those who only like functional attachments. But here's the good news- the kit can give almost any N-Strike, N-Strike Elite, or Modulus blaster an extra 1,000 style points! (Especially if you have the "Tacticool Stealth Edition"…)

Good:
  • Ease of use. Slide the parts on tac rails. Attach the barrel extension to the barrel nozzle. Done.
  • Folding foregrip. The Pivot Grip has a locking mechanism (that orange button on the side), so you can either lock it sturdily in a compact folded position, or unfold it to steady your shot.
  • Ergonomic. The handle, when deployed, is very comfortable to hold on to. And when folded, it's also a rather comfortable place to rest your off-hand. It also happens to be in a quite comfortable position on the Modulus' bottom tac rail.
  • "Red Dot" Sight. Yes, it has a built-in red LED that shines a dot on the center of the crosshairs. Pretty cool, right?
  • Speaking of crosshairs…
  • A rather blurry view down the sights.
    Reduced barrel drag. While the Proximity Barrel does add some barrel drag (like all barrel extensions), it will add much less than most other options.
Bad:
  • I have to say it here: the Tacticool Stealth Edition isn't real. It's just my own special paint job. Sorry.
  • Let's be honest- white, green, and orange is far from stealthy. Once again, sorry if you're one of those who thought this kit would actually make you invisible.
  • Red Dot sight. Sadly, it's not made with precision in mind, and the red dot doesn't always land exactly on the middle of the crosshairs.
  • Not useful. Really it's only worth it to buy this kit for the style points. The Pivot Grip is cool, but you got a grip that's just as good when you bought the Modulus itself.
The best Modulus foregrip yet.
So overall, the only bad features are things that you would already know about without having to buy it to find out. If you think you would like it, you almost definitely will. If you don't like the concept of style points, you don't have to buy it. Of course, Hasbro might disagree; but who are they to have an opinion?  ;)
