The sides of the well near the back have also been straightened to accommodate the wider protrusions of drums.

The Recon MKIII is a re-release of the second version of the 2016 Recon MKII with different accessories.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 front of the original Recon has a small protrusion near the bottom with a five-dot "dice" pattern on each side.

Other features include a flip-up sight for aiming precision and a dual-mode light beam with red-dot accuracy that’s perfect for night missions! Whether it's a stealth operation, close quarters battle, or long-range targeting, the Recon MKII blaster can be configured for the next Nerf mission. The Recon MKII originally suffered from a design flaw where, because of the handguard in front of the handle, the Recon MKII only accepted six dart clips, twelve dart clips, and Flip Clips. The newer version of the Recon has a sloped groove on the back of clip well to accept protrusions from larger clips.

To start battling, load the clip into the blaster, move the priming slide, and press the trigger to fire 1 dart. The original version is easily fixable by cutting off a plastic wall inside of the blaster in the front of the clip well. All drums, excluding the thirty-five dart drum, had even larger protruding sections that made it impossible for them to fit at all.
