This Nerf Modulus Recon blaster is called the MKIII, but it has actually been here three times before. This is technically the 4th iteration of the Nerf Recon. Each time, it was beloved and cherished as one of the best blasters in existence at the time of release. The Nerf Recon was also one of the most tacti-cool blasters ever released, too. Just take a look at the OG itself: Nerf N-Strike Recon CS-6. It comes with a shoulder stock, an extended barrel, a flip up sight, and an under-barrel light attachment. The original N-Strike line of blasters is when Nerf really started taking the "tacti-cool" factor seriously and they threw N-Strike attachment points and tactical rails all over everything. Next up, was the Nerf N-Strike Elite Retaliator. This was the true Recon MKII. It replaced the stock with a sturdier one and replaced the under-barrel light attachment with a nice vertical grip attachment. Besides the colors and the new powerful internals, everything else was very much the same as our good ol' Nerf Recon. A few years later and we get the first Nerf Modulus version of the Recon, the Nerf Modulus Recon MKII. The Nerf Recon was back again, baby! But it felt a little odd, because it came with even less attachments and an even smaller shoulder stock than ever before. The barrel was also pretty tiny. Even more noticeably, the Nerf Modulus Recon MKII was in the Modulus lineup, but it did not come in the traditional Modulus colors. The Modulus Recon MKII came in orange and white and oddly, another different orange color. Anyways, history lesson aside, we can fast forward to today and the Nerf Modulus Recon MKIII blaster that we're here to talk about! This thing is great. It's finally rocking the traditional Nerf Modulus colors and it comes with some better attachments, too! The Modulus MKIII comes with a repainted Nerf Regulator shoulder stock, the Nerf Modulus Proximity Barrel from the Stealth Ops kit, and the flip up Blast Shield attachment from the Nerf Modulus Strike and Defend Upgrade Kit. Sweet.
