So, this thread:http://nerfhaven.com/forums/topic/27208-pump-action-reaper-writeup/ 

is for a different blaster, but you can do this mod even better with the retaliator, because the 1 1/4 inch pipe fits like a barrel extension on the retaliator muzzle. 

So you stick about four inches of that on the muzzle,

then wrap some tape around the end of a one foot (approximately) long piece of one inch pvc, and shove it in the 1 1/4 inch piece on the muzzle. 

Then, you put on the pump handle, and connect to the slide with a scrap bit of junk lying on the shop floor. 

And then you have a ugly, but really practical pump.  Am I making sense?  If not, ask whatever questions you like.  Related to the pump, of course.

Havoc?  That is just a repainted Vulcan isn't it? 

 LMAO yeah... that's 11.1V on a marketed as 6V system... 
 

Yup.  Barricade motors work though.  I switched 'em, and it's still running great.  And what dose LMAO mean?  Oh, wait, I think I guessed.  Never mind.

Wow, I didn't know anybody ever talked about whether flywheel or spring is better.

(That was sarcasm)

I have to agree that overall, Flywheels are better than electric springers.  Flywheels jam less, have a faster ROF, are simpler, cheaper, easy to mod, etc.  But as always, they are load, and you have to rev them before firing.  That is probably their only disadvantage, but its big enough that it can't be said that Flywheel is always better.  I think electric spring makes way more sense for revolvers and belt fed blasters.  Both could be made very simply, and would allow for a better trigger, and/or no rev time.  Unfortunately, there have been no great belt fed blasters, as the Vulcan is the only electric spring belt fed blaster, and it's over complicated and old.  So there is still potential for electric spring if you ask me.

(by the way, I like the vulcan, I made a M60 vulcan, but it's too old to be much good.)

I killed my stock motors with 3 3.7v li-ons.
