Nerf Tactics: Small-arms Tactics: Nerf Longshot CS-6

LONGSHOT CS-6

length: 2-2.5'
Bolt-action
clip fed
built-in bipod
stock clip storage
Medium-Long range

this weapon was my first actual taste of Nerf weapons, therefore it has a special place in my heart. this weapon was the first weapon of the extensive N-STRIKE series. when it comes out of the box, it had a great long range. unfortuneately, when you own this gun for a long time, the range goes down to a medium or even short range unless you upgrade it.
on the subject of upgrading this weapon (from LT "Bladelord"): I highly suggest it as a beginning weapon to start with. with a little observation, you can take this apart with ease. the spring is supposed to be a cinch to remove and interchange.
back to the weapon. I find this weapon to be the most reliable weapon I have come across. after a full year and a half of ownership, it still fires at a medium range with its origiinal spring, and rarely jams.

this weapon is (in light of the many other weapons) not preferable for a CQB environment. it fires at a slow rate and is too long, especially with a barrel extension. this weapon was made for long ranges and sniping. it can still be effective for a mid-range weapon, though. therefore it is best suited as an assault rifle.

  1. The LS was not actually the first NStrike weapon...such weapons as the Maverick and Nite Finder preceded it.

  2. I just realized that fact. I apologize for the mistake.
