Hasbro NERF N-Strike Recon CS-6

Product Information

The Recon MKII was inspired by the N-Strike Retaliator [2], making it a successor of sorts. In part, and perhaps due to its name, it may also be considered a successor to the N-Strike Recon CS-6. Step 2: Remove the plunger from the plunger tube and gently pry the O-ring out of its groove with a flat head screwdriver. Be careful not to damage the O-ring if you plan on reusing it. (Pic. 2)

Step 1: Remove the bolt sled and plunger from the blaster. Unpin the plunger assembly from the bolt sled using a nail, small screwdriver, or punch. You can do this by inserting the nail, screwdriver, or punch into the hole that houses the retention pin and apply pressure. (Pic. 1-2) Tip: Before we move on, it's important to understand which parts of the tubing assembly are ok to hit with the drill and which are not. If you shake the plunger tube, you should hear some parts rattling around. The follow picture shows exactly what's inside the plunger tube: (Pic. 3) Alpha Trooper CS-18 • Deploy CS-6 • Longshot CS-6 • LongStrike CS-6 • Raider Rapid Fire CS-35 • Rayven CS-18 • Recon CS-6 • Stampede ECS In the first part of this 'ible I will show you how to do some mods for beginner modders, people who are doing something like this for the first time. Familiarize yourself with the internal mechanism of the blaster. A reference photo has been provided in picture eight.One can dual wield the Recon by using the tactical rails on the slide to prime each blaster simultaneously. This drastically reduces rate of fire, though. Cosmetic modding, when done right, yields stunning results. A humble foam blaster can become anything from a dystopian “steampunk” gun to a clean cut weapon right out of science fiction. They can even mimic weapons out of video games and movies. A modded blaster can shoot further and with more intensity compared to FOF (fresh out of factory) blasters. It can give you the upper hand in your next battle.

Removing air restrictors ("AR's") is a common modification for air-and-spring-powered Nerf blasters. We generally do not recommend removing the AR's, as the performance increase gained from such an undertaking is negligible at best, except in terms of projectile speed, which is nearly meaningless during a foam dart event. The primary reason to remove AR's would be if the user wished to shoot stefans out of their blaster, in which case the dart peg inside of the bolt would need to be removed.Note: Some of the plunger tubing pictured below has been cut out of the plunger for demonstration purposes. Do not do this EVER. The O-ring seal on the plunger tubing makes sure that the air compressed by the plunger assembly and spring does not leak out during compression. Some blasters come with an excellent O-ring seal, while others come with undersized or loose O-rings. Improving this seal is an easy mod that can add a few extra feet to your shots. Today I am going the show you how to do basic all-around beginner--intermediate modifications in the Nerf Recon CS-6 The Recon has had four direct successors: the 2012 N-Strike Elite Retaliator, the 2015 N-Strike Modulus Recon MKII, the 2019 N-Strike Elite Recon CQ-12, and the 2021 N-Strike Modulus Recon MKIII.

Pry out the grey piece and its spring from the inside of the magazine release button, taking care not to let the spring fly away and get lost. This method is demonstrated in pictures two, three, and four. Keep these pieces, as they will need to be replaced. In 2019, the Recon MKII was re-released as the N-Strike Elite Recon CQ-12. This included new accessories and had a new, blue color scheme. The air restrictor (AR) slows down the flow of air from the plunger to the dart. This device serves to reduce the blaster's power and prevent the plunger from slamming into the plunger tubing at full speed, drastically reducing the noise generated during firing. There are a couple of small differences between the original, older blaster that was recalled and the newer, updated blaster that can be used to determine which version is which.

Make sure the blaster is de-primed by pulling the trigger and pushing the priming slide all the way forward. The Recon CS-6 features a reverse plunger plunger system. Because of this, it is usually disliked in modding communities. The 2008 version of the blaster notably has a shorter plunger tube, due to the 2008 product recall and redesign of the plunger. Step 2: Remove screws. Be sure to make note of each screw's placement, because sizes differ. It is helpful to place the screws on the table in their original positions relevant to an outline of the blaster. There are a total of 15 screws. (Pic. 2) Remove the two screws in the top of the priming slide, as in picture five. Do not remove the slide pieces yet.

The pre-recall Recon had an exposed plunger, which had the word "ARMED" written on the side and served as a priming indicator. Step 2: Use gloves to hold the plunger tube and drill from the end that has the O-ring. It will take considerable pressure to get the bit to catch the plastic. Wearing a glove will prevent you from suffering a burn on your hand, should the bit catch the tubing and start to spin. (Pic. 4) Small flat head screwdriver• O-ring safe lubricant, such as petroleum jelly or silicon based lubricant A modification or “mod” is anything you do to your blaster that changes its looks, form, or functionality. Doing a custom paint job, adding your own accessories and parts, and working on the internals to increase power are all considered mods. The front of the original Recon has a small protrusion near the bottom with a five-dot "dice" pattern on each side. This prevented attaching tall barrel extensions, such as the Mega Dart Barrel Extension from the Tri-Strike, to the blaster. The new version has this protrusion removed to give the blaster a flat front.The Kohls-exclusive Recon CS-6 Special Edition includes a Recon, as well as two additional six dart clip and twelve more Streamline Darts.
