Merging the Tomcat with the Stryker was a good idea, because guys came up with stick mag adapters for the Tomcat about thirty seconds after it was released. Dropping the drum capacity from 50 down to 25 and losing back compatibility, not such a good idea. When you had 50 darts on tap, drums made sense over an 18 round stick mag, that's almost three times the capacity. A 25 round drum isn't even one and a half times the capacity, they're a pain to carry, and they're a bigger pain to change. So if you want sheer capacity the old Tomcat still makes more sense, and if you just want a pump action springer that uses Talons, there's about a million options out there... including that same Tomcat. The Stryker 2.0 kind of ends up in no man's land, not as good as the old Tomcat and not as good as the new Nexus. Had it been designed around those same 50 round drums, it would be a different story.
Great review. Interesting to see some of the less than perfect aspects of this blaster. I've only heard positive reviews on this blaster.
Yeah it’s a great blaster I’m mostly just surprised by the stock
Great review the music seemed off in certain places but still great video
Thanks bro and yeah I saw that I have no idea what happened there

Agreed it’s definitely a nice pairing of the two blasters
