There's no functional difference caused by that though, or at least there shouldn't be any - the only thing I've done to any of my stick mags was break off some extra plastic flashing from an injection mold point that was protruding into the magazine well and interfering with the follower (about 75% of the refill pack mags had that problem, as did all of the ones I left on the shelf after I first noticed it), but that was on the interior surface of the magazine. One has squared tabs and the other has beveled. Hey, I can see it right in your "some extra plastic" picture. Posts like this and u/Kuli24's make me think there might have been a bad batch of Helios where the tolerances were off, because what you've both described doesn't seem to happen with any sort of regularity. Nerf's Rival blasters though are not meant to care about that aspect, and in my experience none of them do - inserting and removing magazines is not quite as smooth in the Helios as the other magazine fed blasters (that are not the Atlas, that has just an atrocious magazine well), particularly if your magazine isn't empty when you try to remove it (seems to add an element of extra resistance), and you're pretty much never getting a 12-round mag to gravity drop just by hitting the button, but I've yet to have any of them ever get stuck and require me to take the handle apart. They "should" be actually identical to the ones being sold in refill packs, and for purposes of the magazine wells of the Zeus, Apollo, Hera, and Helios, functionally identical as well - the only known/documented difference between the 12-round Rival magazines is the later ones added some extra plastic along the top edge to screw with the Dart Zone blasters (much like Hasbro has apparently done to newer Rival Rechargeable Batteries).
