The Modulus Tri-Strike has been on many people's wish list (It certainly was on mine!) since it was revealed during the 2016 Toy Fair in New York. And for good reason as well, with it's impressive feature set allowing it to fire 3 types of foam ammunition, hence the name, Tri-Strike. It comes with 10 white elite darts, 4-mega darts, and a missile. It's a blaster that really lets you chose what you wanna do. It's great fun choosing how to terrorize the house. This degree of freedom to do what you like, how you like was what modulus was always about. What's it like to fire then? Mostly impressive. The front mega-dart launcher is a detachable hand operated unit. It uses Nerf's patented smart air-restriction system to fire 1 mega dart with each pump. That's how it should work in theory. However, I have had the first dart smoothly fire, then the next 2 fire together, and the last dart half-way out its barrel by the 2nd pump. This effect will perhaps only worsen with worn mega darts. It's not too common of a pattern however, occurring maybe once out of 5 times in my experience (each time you fully load the 4 barrels). Otherwise the front unit fires single shots like it was meant to do. Distance is admirable, around 40 feet if you're angrily slamming the front pump. The missile launcher is comprised of 2 tethered parts. The stock that is a pump and the top barrel that houses your lonely missile. Company costs an extra $7.99 (3-missile pack). It's certainly fun to watch missiles effortlessly sail through the air. The missile launcher's 2 parts can be attached together to make a modulus Thunderblast. This now standalone missile launcher makes it well worth the price. Whether attached to the blaster like you see in the pictures, or as a standalone piece, you have the option of using your 2 hands to compress the pump, or to slam the butt-stock into your shoulder. Also alike the front mega launcher, distance is dependent on how hard you push or compress. It tends to be a little hard on the shoulder. So onto the main blaster. It's what many Nerf fans of the Longstrike yearned for. It's a bolt-action that has elite ranges. It achieves around 45 feet flat, and easily hits 65+ with an arc. I must mention Slam-fire. You can take down close targets and lob foam madness with this feature. The handle fits nicely in the hand, and doesn't seem to have any weird angles to grip like the Modulus ECS-10. Though by itself it tends to be front-heavy; more so than a Retaliator or Recon. The bolt action is where I have both praise and mild criticisms. The action when sliding it back and forth is nicely balanced in single fire mode, with satisfying clicks that lock the bolt after a proper prime. The same satisfying prime from the bolt action becomes a slight nuisance when slam-firing, as it introduces resistance which slightly torques the blaster in your hand. A strong grip is recommended for slam-firing. Normal single-fire is quite easy, and worry free for those who are younger. There's also the color which I personally dig, but some would rather paint over. The blaster body is made from white plastic with orange used in several areas. The rest is paint. More details that may bother some people include: the bizarre jam doors that require you to remove the clip before accessing, and the distance to the magazine release which cannot be reached with mortal fingers (at least while your hand is on the handle). With the magazine release, I've just gotten used to releasing with the opposite hand. All in all, I had high expectations for this blaster, and I've found it to be exceedingly fun and capable. A recommended buy for anyone who can afford it. Photos show this product in combination with a N-strike Recon.
