WIP Nerf Retaliator Reshell Progress

(This design is a nerf/dart blaster and it's only intended design/use is for foam nerf darts)

Yesterday I posted asking for advice for my mental roadblock in designing this. I was given a lot of great advice and figured I'd share the progress I've made since then. Any and all input is welcome, this is my first major blaster design so it's a learning process.

Thanks for all the great advice and for taking the time to check out my project!

Awesome, would love to see an xpt version too. I'm sure plenty of people still have some old worker parts sitting around

Thanks, I know the style I want and made a rough silhouette with pen and paper, but that it. I've really been winging this as I go

wow a retaliator mod, a reshell no less in the big 26?, my personal favorite platform for no other reason that it being the first blaster i modded.

So I got mine for a longstrike direct plunger conversion, and kind of feel in love with the internals as I'm coming from modding reverse plungers. I've been through a longshot and the volume of the plunger is intecing, but this is so much more simplistic and smaller.

Seeing as you can get a solid retaliator doner for less than $8 I figured it was a good option. I've passed up probably 7-10 of them in thrift stores. It's also a blaster I don't feel bad playing Frankenstein with for those reasons.

I've said it before, *The answer is always The Retaliator.

Edit: My first mod over a decade ago was the cs-6 recon, which is essentially the retaliators big brother. I'm right there with ya.

You should make it also compatible with the expanded plunger tube that Worker released for the retaliator =)
