I am a new moder. My first blaster mod was a retaliator. Since the lock down I have had fun gazing and moding with good results. I also moded a rampage by putting two retaliator sprins combined together lubing the cylinder. Instead of getting 69 f/s it does an average of 140f/s that is amazing to me.
Really useful! The Retaliator / Recon / etc. is one of the blasters that I haven't ever owned or opened, but the principles for this and some other N-Strike blasters are the same. Excellent with the close-up photographs as well.
Tip: you can also use some tape to cover the screw holes, thus trapping them inside until you take the tape off, I like to use painters tape as it won't take off any paint
AWESOME VIDEO! Please continue this series! I'm bookmarking this for future reference, you description of the inner workings of the Retaliator are priceless and greatly appreciated.
Great teacher you are. Thrifted mine, thought it just needed the mag to un jam it, turns it there was a shaft of a small screwdriver , wedged between the slide and broad screw. I tried all the tricks until I saw it lol
I absolutely love this idea! I already use you K26 and other modifying videos to aid in the reconstruction of many a blaster I've opened and with too much haste disassembled so having a dedicated series would be amazing.
Thank you for this. My old blaster got jammed up horribly and had to take it apart just now. Couldnt get the two halfs apart till i saw this. Well done
great video Sir!!! I have a feeling that after a fair number of these videos are out that a lot of novice modders will get a wealth of knowledge from them. Bravo! Captain for adding another reason that You Sir....are awesome
Really really good in-depth video. You absolutely should this video series, because I would have loved to have this video when I was first exploring this blaster to get ready to mod it and as you mentioned the slingfire as well.
Beautifully done. Thank you Sir! I really like having this sort of detail when mucking with things, so I am able to put it back together more easily. I have a large panel magnet that I use when disassembling things, and I put screws onto that magnet in similar position to where it came out of the blaster, so I can put them all back where they came from more easily.
Bought my son a bundle of used nerf guns for cheap and the reatliator was his favourite but after playing for 2 hours it Jammed. Thanks to your video I was able to completely disassemble lube and reassemble and now it works twice as well! Can't thank you enough , you made a little boy very happy
Hi Cap! This is really a service to the community! This series I foresee becoming a reference material for modders everywhere. I have two Rampage blasters to put back together sitting in a bag for a long time. I have all the parts, but a tutorial on this one would be helpful.1 There is also another, a Vintage Blaster so it may not be popular enough for you to get to, but the Dart Tag speed load six. I am having a hard time figuring out the right steps to reassemble after removing an horrific jam. Thanks so much!
OMG thank you so much, u legit saved my retaliator. I love it and when a little thing broke, i was in tears. I bought a new little thing and u saved my retaliator
Digging this idea. Definitely hopes it continues. I would love to see one for Stryfe, as so many of the ones I've seen are so quick to gloss over things, esp. where/what locks to remove. Light modding, as opposed to changing motors and cages.
Something that just occurred to me- the handle dart storage could be used for de-priming a blaster with the locks still in. Once you take the magazine out, you could manually load that extra dart into the bolt and fire that dart after returning the slide.
Amazingly helpful! bought a mod for a retaliator, but it did not come with instructions, this will give me a chance to understand where things go! thank you Captain Xavier!
This is so handy, i took mine apart years ago dont know why and i could never get everything back together again working i will be able to do this now, thank you
I think this is an AWESOME idea for a series, Captain. You should definitely continue it. I'm terrified of opening up a blaster to try a mod for fear of not being able to reassemble the thing.
Well I couldn't watch the entire video since its midnight (disassembling it to clean in the midnight wasn't the brightest idea I had) and I had to reassemble as fast as I could but it was very helpful. Thanks for the video.
thanks this helped alot! im modding my retaliator rn and currently i have a 12kg worker spring, replace the o-ring, preparing it for the paint job and stuff and im planning on doing a brass breech and replacing the catch with a metal one because the spring is so strong that it just pushes the catch out of the way basically so yeah.
I have a question, even though you said the plunger tube needs to move, I have taken out my bolt sled lock, and upgraded the spring. But now the tiny sticky out bits on the plunger tube have snapped, can I glue the plunger tube in place so that it doesn't move ALL the way forward next to the access door? If so, I'd glue it far back enough so the plunger head could catch. Thanks Captain.
12:46 if the piece is broken in 2, the "tube" have the little "leg" but the piece that should be under the tube is no longer attached, I know it probably doesn't make sense but idk how to explain it, can I do anything with the blaster ? From what I understand I can't use a mag and chamber dart anymore so Is there anything I can do to at least make it fire something ?
They expect us to have a sealed breach with expanded plunger tube kits. Huh. That explains a couple of things :D And I'm all for the series. 3rd edit: you have the centurion on the list! you are a brave man!
Another helpful tip I learned a while ago for keeping track of screws is to simply put a small piece of tape over each screw hole (after unscrewing them of course) to keep them in place if you need to flip over that side of the shell.
My favorite trick for keeping track of screws is to, before starting to remove screws, lay the blaster on a piece of cardboard and trace the outline. Then, as the screws come out, push them into your cardboard outline in approximately the location they came from. I've sort-of laminated my cardboard panels after using them by wrapping them in a full layer of Dollar Store packing tape, and the most-used ones (the Stryfe and Hammershot) have each held up to 10+ uses so far.
Looking forward to this series! This is an excellent service to the community and especially (but certainly not only for) noobs. And we all had been noobs at one time or the other!🤓☺
When my friend got into modding nerf blasters I suggested he use the retaliator since in my opinion it's one of the better blasters for beginners to mod
Hey, great vid!! I have been taking Nerf Guns apart for some time now, but for this gun in particular, I can't seem to be able to put the two halves back together. Any fixes for this??
Yeah...figure out how to put the two halves back together. Not to be mean but it is clearly a user problem as many people are able to put it together with no problem. Something is probably misaligned or in wrong.
This may fall into the "I don't feel like doing it" category but I've never seen anyone do a proper centurion breakdown and reassembly. I opened one up once and there are so many things in there that I had no clue about their function. Possibly one of the most over engineered blasters of all time. Rob from SBNC (no longer in the nerf comunity) kind of did a mod guide but it was mainly based on a spring upgrade and barrel removal.
Love the series idea. I started modding after I took apart a speedloader 6 because of a jam and had to find a video of how to rebuild it. That lead me on to Dracs penny mods and then the whole world of modding. But those detailed internal builds dont seem to exist for modern blasters. Hopefully they will now.
I would love to see a rival Perses reassembly. Fully taking one apart to paint it is a plan that I have and an assembly video would be a valuable resource.
30 seconds in and i'm all for this idea having a series video to help reassemble would give new modders a huge hand in their projects
yes please do more!

I've bookmarked this so I can start hotlinking as required. Thank you for doing this :D
Yo horusrogue what up it's nerf boye
Thanks so much! Really helped me when I modded it, even all these years later! Good job!

My Retaliator’s prime was stuck halfway for like 3 months before I fixed it. This would have come in handy
i broke my plunger and managed to replace it with a 3d printed one, i managed to bypass the back part taht keeps it in somehow
how did u fix it bc i watched this vid but it got stuck at the end
yeah same
Tip: you can also use some tape to cover the screw holes, thus trapping them inside until you take the tape off, I like to use painters tape as it won't take off any paint
AWESOME VIDEO! Please continue this series! I'm bookmarking this for future reference, you description of the inner workings of the Retaliator are priceless and greatly appreciated.
Thank you, very helpful and much appreciated.
Dude this helped so much! I wanted to open my retaliator and started panicking whilst putting it back together, and this really helped!
Thanks for doing this this series is going to be really helpful
Once again, thanks for this, had a weird little issue, this helped. I’ll just be annoyingly saying thanks to these year old videos for years to come.
Great teacher you are. Thrifted mine, thought it just needed the mag to un jam it, turns it there was a shaft of a small screwdriver , wedged between the slide and broad screw. I tried all the tricks until I saw it lol
Thank you so much, I took apart my gun to custom paint it and I couldn’t figure out how to put it back together
I absolutely love this idea! I already use you K26 and other modifying videos to aid in the reconstruction of many a blaster I've opened and with too much haste disassembled so having a dedicated series would be amazing.
Thank you for this. My old blaster got jammed up horribly and had to take it apart just now. Couldnt get the two halfs apart till i saw this. Well done
great video Sir!!!
I have a feeling that after a fair number of these videos are out that a lot of novice modders will get a wealth of knowledge from them.
Bravo! Captain for adding another reason that You Sir....are awesome
13:51 If when priming you hold down the trigger, prime it back *then* release the trigger it will not activate the slide lock until you finish priming
Really really good in-depth video.
You absolutely should this video series, because I would have loved to have this video when I was first exploring this blaster to get ready to mod it and as you mentioned the slingfire as well.
Whenever I move the barrel back it snaps up toward where the other half would be how do I fix it
Beautifully done. Thank you Sir! I really like having this sort of detail when mucking with things, so I am able to put it back together more easily. I have a large panel magnet that I use when disassembling things, and I put screws onto that magnet in similar position to where it came out of the blaster, so I can put them all back where they came from more easily.
Hands down one of the best and most descriptive repair video ever thanks
Bought my son a bundle of used nerf guns for cheap and the reatliator was his favourite but after playing for 2 hours it Jammed. Thanks to your video I was able to completely disassemble lube and reassemble and now it works twice as well! Can't thank you enough , you made a little boy very happy
I know im not gonna mod my brand new Sonic ICE Retaliator soon, but juuuuuust in case it breaks, a monday mod tip can save my blaster's life

There's honestly so much engineering that goes into such simple functions.
Thank u so much, i needed a guide to reassemble it!
Thank you for the help, I had no clue how to reassemble it without your help. Keep up the good work!
Nothing like helpful nerf content. Bless you sir.
Thank you, this was really helpful. My son was able to reassemble his blaster!
Thanks this is going to be helpful
thank you SOOOOO much, my Retaliator was jammed, and I have found the problem because you showed my how to reassemble it. THANIKS
very helpful. I thought I'd never get that back together!
Thank you for your thorough instructional video saving me a whole lot of cursing and time!
Amazingly helpful! bought a mod for a retaliator, but it did not come with instructions, this will give me a chance to understand where things go! thank you Captain Xavier!
Thanks! I have a modulus rekon mk3 and i had troubles putting it back together. Looks exactly the same internally.
This is so handy, i took mine apart years ago dont know why and i could never get everything back together again working i will be able to do this now, thank you
We definitely need more of these.
Great instructional video!!! Thank you. This helped me with a couple of issues where I previously had trouble with my Retaliator. Well done, sir!
Thanks. I’ve just repaired one with your help. 👍
Thank you so much ! Managed to fix my son's blaster 😀
I think this is an AWESOME idea for a series, Captain. You should definitely continue it. I'm terrified of opening up a blaster to try a mod for fear of not being able to reassemble the thing.
Thank you so much i couldnt figure out what the fUCK that little black piece from the handle was forever
Words can’t describe how much you’ve helped me
Thanks for the heart, big fan
Well I couldn't watch the entire video since its midnight (disassembling it to clean in the midnight wasn't the brightest idea I had) and I had to reassemble as fast as I could but it was very helpful. Thanks for the video.
thanks for helping i havent use my reteliator for 2 years cause an bullet stuck inside im so thankful i saw this vid:D
thanks this helped alot! im modding my retaliator rn and currently i have a 12kg worker spring, replace the o-ring, preparing it for the paint job and stuff and im planning on doing a brass breech and replacing the catch with a metal one because the spring is so strong that it just pushes the catch out of the way basically so yeah.
This vid is so helpful. I could not get my retaliatory to work until I watched this vid
I have a question, even though you said the plunger tube needs to move, I have taken out my bolt sled lock, and upgraded the spring. But now the tiny sticky out bits on the plunger tube have snapped, can I glue the plunger tube in place so that it doesn't move ALL the way forward next to the access door? If so, I'd glue it far back enough so the plunger head could catch. Thanks Captain.
You helped me fixed my retaliator your a hero to me keep up the good work and thank uou
Ah super helpful! Thank you so much for taking the time to make this video, a life saver'
12:46 if the piece is broken in 2, the "tube" have the little "leg" but the piece that should be under the tube is no longer attached, I know it probably doesn't make sense but idk how to explain it, can I do anything with the blaster ? From what I understand I can't use a mag and chamber dart anymore so Is there anything I can do to at least make it fire something ?
Kronos reassemble can be a pain especially because things inside tend to sproing more than most springers, and the interior feeder is cool
Thank you for this I’ve been having troubles with this gun I think this could be a helpful series
They expect us to have a sealed breach with expanded plunger tube kits. Huh. That explains a couple of things :D
And I'm all for the series.
3rd edit: you have the centurion on the list! you are a brave man!
Yo thank you so much for making this nice and helped me a ton when I started modding blasters
anyone know where i can get a replacement part at 11:24 where he has his right pointing finger at? its the spring loaded door and mine is lost
Best bet is taking it from another Retaliator.
Thanks bro you saved me tons of time. Great video. Keep up the good content!!!!

You saved my Retaliator, thank you, it's my only blaster
Thanks for this! Much needed
Great video. Helped me fixed my son's Xmas gift.
Glad I could help!
I think these are immensely useful videos for new modders and the right ones might actually get me to try. I vote slingfire if that helps.
very helpful for my hydro dipped damascus camo type Retaliator
This was so useful my white retaliator was broken and I used my other broken blue retaliator and this worked
my retaliator broke n im12 so this happed me take it apart then put it back together and it worked thanks so much!!!
Two words from someone with a broken old retaliator (my fav nerf gun): THANK YOU
Excellent video, this helped me fix my son's gun.
Looking forward to this series! This is an excellent service to the community and especially (but certainly not only for) noobs. And we all had been noobs at one time or the other!🤓☺
thank you soooooo much captain, you saved my retaliator
OMG thanks so much this helped so much !
Thank you so much. It really helped me
Great Work. Thank you!
Thank you, this was soo useful that I even managed to even fix my nerf gun,
Thank you lad
When my friend got into modding nerf blasters I suggested he use the retaliator since in my opinion it's one of the better blasters for beginners to mod
Awesome video!
I’ve also liked the Retaliator but now, dang this is 🔥 😎👍
Big problem : i cannot remove the bottom left screw😢
Try to get an smaller screwdriver, I had that problem too.
My piston just game off 😂
Rival Apollo! The only Nerf blaster that I can't get back together. It's like it's missing a gear, but photos look right.
Thank you so much it helped me fix my blaster😅

Yeah...figure out how to put the two halves back together. Not to be mean but it is clearly a user problem as many people are able to put it together with no problem. Something is probably misaligned or in wrong.
This would have been supremely helpful when i started modding, its a fantastic series.
Thx this video helped me get out a big screw for door locks
So thx

You always help me!
3:50 i actuly removed this part of the shell you i can use 25 round drum mags on my retaliater
This video was very helpful.
Hey captain, can you do the Perses? I really want to mod that blaster but I need to know how to put it back together.
Very well done video
Well done!
this was great thanks
Thanks, man!
What size spring is on that thing that hold the plunger
I would like to see a strong arm personally but with this kind a series ya never know when ya need to reassemble something
Nice timing. I just took mine apart and couldn't put it back together.
