    The under $12 total is the price of the parts, plus shipping, with the 10% off code "OFFERS" used. I don't know of any expiration date on that code, so use it!

    I have a recon cs-6, and I modded it with covering the hole, and removing the AR. I can see a noticeable difference in the range!

    • @MongooseJakeNerf
      @MongooseJakeNerf  3 года назад

      Those simple mods really help, but whenever you can, toss in the Worker breech. It has better contact with the darts and provides a better air seal. Great gains for only a few bucks!

    Haha I think Tisha is getting more popular than me 😂. Funny one of my viewers said to me the other day "I was watching a video by Mongoose Jake and he mentioned you in it. Friend of yours?" Haha. He said it was in the Recon video so I assumed it was this one but I remember watching this and listening to see if you would mention Tisha but I didnt hear it. Was really nice of you to do this. We still haven't modded that Recon 🤐 but we been working on other stuff.

      @MongooseJakeNerf  6 лет назад +1

      Thanks, I figured I'd have a bit of fun and the thought of joking about smashing open a blaster hit me, lol. Now on a serious note, if you're going to mod your Retaliator, you can do this, and then add Worker's expanded plunger tube and plunger rod (the ones for the Prophecy) and get serious performance without going broke. The expanded plunger tube would require some cutting of the shell, so if you don't want to do that, this quicker mod will consistently get you around 120 FPS.

  • @kittenclaws5775
    @kittenclaws5775 6 лет назад +4

    I mean, couldn't you also just plug the air release hole on the breech with a bit of hot melt or two-part? What's the difference between a re-sealed breech tube and the worker aftermarket part in terms of performance?

    • @kittenclaws5775
      @kittenclaws5775 6 лет назад +2

    • @MongooseJakeNerf
      @MongooseJakeNerf  6 лет назад +1

      @@kittenclaws5775 No worries, I figured that people would have that question, and that's specifically why I decided to show the difference. If you resealed the stock breech, you'll gain performance, but the extra contact that the Worker breech has with the foam dart makes a huge difference. Keep in mind that the Worker breech is under $3 and takes just minutes to install. It's worth it alone even if you're not doing any other upgrades!

  • @ocubot8175
    @ocubot8175 Год назад +2

    if you have a retaliator is the breach necessary? or do you only need it for the recon?

    • @MongooseJakeNerf
      @MongooseJakeNerf  Год назад +1

      Well, both internals are 99% identical. Only real difference is the Recon MkII has holes in the breech to reduce FPS, but the Worker breech is superior vs both the Recon and Retaliator. Dart fit is hugely improved, which helps the efficiency of any other mod you plan, even if it's just a spring upgrade.

      Most Worker parts retailers should have them, NFStrike just used to be quite a bit cheaper but had longer wait times on getting your parts. Out of Darts is an option.

    After all of this modding, other than an adapter, what would it take to make it fire half-darts?

    • @MongooseJakeNerf
      @MongooseJakeNerf  5 лет назад +2

      Just a mag adaptor really. Once you get rid of the stock breach you remove the issue. Half lengths won't touch the AR, so it stays closed when using a stock blaster. Using a aftermarket or custom made breach gets rid of the AR altogether, so no worries!

      Sadly NFStrike stopped selling most of the parts for modding Nerf, but Worker still makes them, just have to search for other sellers such as Amazon, Monkeemods.com, outofdarts, and lots of sellers on ebay or etsy.

    Why do you need to remove the locks?

    • @MongooseJakeNerf
      @MongooseJakeNerf  4 года назад +2

      You remove the locks specifically so you can de-prime the blaster manually to avoid dry firing (firing with no dart loaded). It also helps you if you have a jam and need to manually cycle the blaster in order to clear a jam.
      The only reason to ever leave locks in is on stock blasters that kids are going to use.

    • @MongooseJakeNerf
      @MongooseJakeNerf  3 года назад +1

      Absolutely, as they take the same springs due to near identical internals. The Recon MkII is quite simply a variant of the Retaliator. It just happens to be my favorite over the original.

    I modded mine for maybe 3 or 5 dollars. I modded mine by doubling up the mainspring with two other springs. I took out the jam door, then sealed the vent holes with tape and added a stronger catch spring and trigger springs. Now the dart shoots even further than ever.
