N-Strike Modulus ECS-10 Blaster

This is my go-to/favorite blaster. It's very accurate for a dart blaster, especially with the waffle-head darts. I've done a few mods (removed locks, re-wired, 2s LiPo battery) and added a laser. I wouldn't want to hop it up any more than that as it occasionally rips the heads off of my precious waffle-head darts. I'm not 100% sure, but I think the flywheels are slightly canted, and I think this helps improve accuracy over some of the earlier flywheel blasters like the Stryfe. I don't have any Stryfe's or anything for comparison to back up this belief. The only drawbacks are the included accessories. The original stock is garbage, and that's where it went. I replaced it with an adjustable Modulus Storage Stock. The barrel extender is pretty blegh. It doesn't look cool, and at best it does nothing for performance. The only good accessory that came with it is the front grip, which works pretty well. The only complaint I have about that, is that it has to be removed to get into the battery compartment. Nerf rails are not quite pitcanny rails, so gun accessories don't typically fit well. In order to attach the laser, I had to put a few layers of carefully cut duct tape on the rail to build up thickness so the laser could grab hold. It's just a cheap BB-gun laser, and Nerf darts are not so accurate, so this works as well as I expected. It holds a zero and darts usually land within a 5 inch radius of the laser when fired across the office (about 5 cubicles). Overall, I recommend it. Buy extra magazines to keep feeding it darts... you'll need them.

This gun is versatile and can be used by people of different sizes- stock is adjustable and you can add items to the rails- making it more fun to use. Good quality Nerf product.

First thing everyone says about the Modulus is that it is a Stryfe. It is similar to one but has key differences, many of which are good. The main bad difference is that it is more expensive, but now I think it is worth it's price tag in overall value over the Stryfe (nothing is better in value, really, but Stryfes' need to be modded to be good anyway, so the hassle makes that debatable). Some smaller things that comes to mind is the size, as the modulus is larger and has a carrying handle on the upper back of the blaster that makes it's flip-up iron sight useless. The battery door doubles as a handle grip under the blaster, which I thought was cool. It comes with a lot more attachments, which is the key selling point for this toy: the barrel allows for another barrel to be attached and, by itself, does not affect ranges by as much as the Retaliator/Recon barrel; the scope is lense-less but has a cool targeting sight; the foregrip is comfortable; the stock is useful in carrying an extra magazine but is noticeably flimsy and wobbly with enough pressure on the plastic bars; and there is a Demolisher-style 10-dart banana magazine included with the set. Velocity ratings on my ProChrono Digital chronograph are as follows: the average stock velocity is 72 feet per second (FPS); Unmodified but with 3 Tenergy LiFePo4 batteries and a dummy spacer averaged 91 FPS. The best difference between the Stryfe and the Modulus is that testing of the LiFePo4 batteries in a Nerf War suggests the thermistor/ resistors of the Modulus are more tolerant and do not necessarily need to be removed since no-one complained of it overheating during play (like they did with the Stryfe many times before thermistor/resistor and electronic lock removals). However, there is a noticeable spool-up lag when first pressing the rev-trigger and this 1-second delay is something you will have to live with if you decide to use the recommended alkaline batteries. Further good differences the Modulus has over the Stryfe include the fact that it is paint-friendly and the different Modulus' parts come apart easily when the blaster is opened. Check out my pictures below, I hydro-dipped and hand-painted different parts of mine (one gold and black, another a hydrographic with carbon fiber and flames, and a more recent one I mask-painted a classic Cobra, Python Patrol snakeskin pattern). In all honestly, get both the Stryfe and the Modulus kits (there are many different ones now, including the bolt-action slam-fire able Tristrike) that suit your fancy. The accessory parts are all interchangeable with most other Nerf Blasters, namely the Stryfe, Retaliator, Tristrike, even the Ionfire (it's all true, but I'm joking about the Ionfire; don't do that). As an update, I have been using my setup for almost a year now. Still going strong with the 3 AA 3.2V LiFePo4 batteries and an AA sized (Ultracell; a conduit placeholder) spacer. I have also used 2 Lion 3.7V and 2 spacers, and a 3.7V IMR with 2 spacers and both work, but I decided that it is best to use the 2 AA-sized IMRs, because there is less strain on the batteries and they will last longer; so I will be using those IMRs in the future. I use a Nitecore Digicharger D4 battery charger, it works great and I recommend it. Please mod responsibly, as using higher voltage batteries can be damaging to, and shorten the life of the product.

Well, I got it for a NERF war I was having with a bunch of people. And it was a decent gun, it didn't shoot as far as I had thought, but that was ok, we weren't in a very big area to start. But it jammed pretty easily, and you had to make sure that the jam door was shut all the way or it won't shoot. And the stock is really cool but, it is extremely flimsy! So I'd be careful pushing against it to hard or it might snap or bend. But, it felt great in my arms, it had a nice feel to it, and it was an overall decent gun.

Bought this as a Christmas gift for a nephew and he loved it. It was shortly ripped open and put together in the standard configuration pictured and fired. The scope isn't the best, but lets face it this is a Nerf gun and I don't know how accurate you can expect a scope to be given the unreliable nature of the darts themselves. It's really for looks and not for function and who cares it looks cool. The battery powered fire of this thing is awesome, after a few initial test shots to determine the correct angle you can quickly unload the rest of the clip into whom ever you want. He completely enjoyed running around the house pretending to be part of some tactical strike force. He was really looking forward to getting home that night so that he could have a Nerf battle with his dad and put this thing to the real test.

So it was such a super cool looking item but it didn't shoot at all. Unfortunately i had a nerf gun fight to attend tomorrow and will be unable to attend because i highly doubt the replacement will be here by then. I will provide an updated review when the replacement arrives. UPDATE: Works great and is a ton of fun. The replacement arrived really quickly and am very happy with this product and can't wait for the next nerf gun fight with my friends😊 my only issue is that it jams often but with the jam door it's pretty easy to unjam

My son loves this nerf gun! Works exactly as it should!

The Modulus is a good looking design - though I wish they had gone with the blue instead of the green highlights. The size is comparable to the Demolisher without the grenade launcher. Performance roughly the same as the Demolisher or Stryfe. The Banana clip wins style points, though I wish they could figure out a way to utilize the curved part and hold more ammunition. The other size Nerf clips are compatible with the Modulus. The worst feature of the blaster itself is the stock attachment point. It looks very similar to other Nerf blasters, but something is a little different. While the stock locks into place, it doesn't provide a snug fit. The stock wiggles. I also tried some other stocks from other blasters and had the same result (more on the stock itself later). I'm going to try adding some sort of rubber or felt gasket to the base of the connector point to see if it helps. The base set comes with several attachments to customize your gun: sighting scope, grip, barrel extension, and stock. Sighting Scope: OK, let's be realistic. In general any scope on a Nerf gun is more about looks than performance. Nerf scopes can help you focus on your target and make sure your blaster is pointed the right direction, but after that, it's still Nerf darts you are launching, and they just don't always fly the direction you aim them. This scope does not have any plastic lenses, but uses some molded plastic prongs to help you sight your target. The scope will work on other Nerf blasters that have a tactical rail. Grip: If you like using a front grip on your blaster, you'll probably like this one, unless you have small hands. The grip handle is a bit bulkier than the standard Nerf grip included with blasters like the Retaliator, but is a bit more comfortable. Uses the same tactical rail mount as other Nerf accessories. Barrel Extension: Nice addition. It's short length doesn't appear to affect dart performance too badly. Offers a tactical rail attachments on top and bottom. Uses the same connector design as other Nerf barrel extensions, so it will fit on blasters like the Retaliator, Stryfe, Recon, etc. Shoulder stock: Along with the connector point on the blaster, easily the worst feature of the Modulus. It has a nice look and offers storage for an additional clip (always welcome). Unfortunately, the plastic used for the struts that connect the butt to the connector is flimsy. Any pressure exerted against the stock to steady your aim causes the struts to bend. Perhaps it would be OK with a lightweight blaster like the Spectre, but not with the bulky, heavier Modulus. Overall not a terrible design, but could have been so much better with a bit more attention to detail.

Purchased these for my cousin's 5 and 8 year olds for Christmas (with permission!) and they were the hit of Christmas with their cousins 6, 8, and two 12 year olds. Epic battles ensued. From about 8 feet away the darts make a nice little sting so you know you are hit, but dont hurt hurt. We had a no face shot rule and had to aim low. More bullets and a second ammo clip are highly recommended else you are defenseless while reloading the bullets. The modular nature of the blaster was great for the 5 year old as we shrunk it down for him and put the grip on and he could use it, while the 8 year old used most of the attachments and the adults use the whole thing. Some jams when you rapid fire which usually required an adult to fix, but my kids are getting them for christmas next year! The stock is a little flimsy when you shoulder the gun as an adult. I could see rough play breaking the flimsy orange between where the stock attaches to the gun and the shoulder bit. Shipping through intelcomm courier was a joke, but thats not on the gun. 5 fake delivery dates in their system and over a week delayed with a prime membership. Glad I ordered Black Friday and not 5 days before Christmas.

Really good for customizing with nerf attachments... However it jams and is not overly powerful. If you take out the rubber skirt it solves all of these problems... Go to YouTube for skirt removal instructions. Note; All motorized nerf guns have this limitation.

Está muy bien el producto, solo si recomiendo usar pilas recargables para que dure mucho más eñsu usó.

Conforme à la description du produit. Ce Nerf est coûteux, mais outre sa bonne qualité, il présente l'avantage d'être très modulable.
