Hasbro NERF N-Strike Recon CS-6

Product Information

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.

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) Familiarize yourself with the internal mechanism of the blaster. A reference photo has been provided in picture eight. 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)Today I am going the show you how to do basic all-around beginner--intermediate modifications in the Nerf Recon CS-6 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) The Kohls-exclusive Recon CS-6 Special Edition includes a Recon, as well as two additional six dart clip and twelve more Streamline Darts.

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.

This drastically reduces rate of fire, though. The pre-recall Recon had an exposed plunger, which had the word "ARMED" written on the side and served as a priming indicator.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. Remove the two screws in the top of the priming slide, as in picture five. Do not remove the slide pieces yet.

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. Make sure the blaster is de-primed by pulling the trigger and pushing the priming slide all the way forward. 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. 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. 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.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.
