Nerf Tactics: Small-arms Tactics: Nerf Maverick

Nerf N-Strike Maverick
Length: 10"
Top pump-action
rotating barrel
Short-Medium range

This is the REAL first N-Strike Weapon to my knowledge. it might be contested that the nightfire was first, but I don't care. this weapon is even more reliable than any other small arms Nerf weapon I know. the only downfall I've seen on this weapon is the fact that this weapon is not clip-fed, which takes away tons of time to refill the ammunition.

this weapon is, due to lack of reload time, short range, and conveniently small size makes this weapon perfect for a sidearm.

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

RECON CS-6
length: approx. 12"
top pump-action
clip fed
interchangeable stock
barrel extension
short-medium range

this weapon is a weapon that has constantly cheated on me, even though I have treated it like it was my own. the idea of a weapon that can change into three completely different types of weapons is a great one, and I still love the Recon, even though it's range is garbage and it is about as unreliable as your teammates in CODMW2. it jams too easily and the spring is not easy to modify, so, when your recon dies, IT'S DEAD and there's no ressurections.

this weapon is a well-rounded weapon for a CQB range. it does not give away much profile and allows the user to peek around corners without losing an angle of fire. the removeable stock and barrel make this gun especially suited as a sidearm, as it maintains a slim profile and, (since it is a clip-fed weapon), is very capable to be reloaded. unfortunately, despite its ability to shoot at mid-range, it is not reliable enough of a weapon to be used as a regular rifle for mid-range and therefore is only effective at short ranges. it is suggested for use as a pistol.

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.

one of many new nerf-related posts...

Upon review of the plethora of Nerf weapons I have encountered, and the many internal questions of which weapon is best for which, I have decided to initiate a series in my blog called "Nerf Tactics."
One section will describe the outstanding attributes of a Nerf weapon (including the general relative range), my personal commentary on the weapon, and the arbitrary opinion for its use. this opinion is not based off of my liking for the weapon, but on the various attributes. this section will be called Small-arms Tactics
Another section of this series will be a summation of different games, their rules and ways to win them.
there will be other sections as I think of them. this section will be called Scenario Tactics

mmm..... good food and a food movie... Imma get fat!

I am having the best food day of my life...

I am sitting on my couch after eating a great meal of fried eggs and fried mushrooms and onions. and now I'm watching the movie Julie & Julia. this movie is without a doubt the funniest movie I've ever seen!!! she has just tried to cook three lobsters (live!) and when she put them in the pot and put on the lid, the lobsters kicked the lid off the pot and the lid flew to the ceiling! it was too funny to watch!!!

my people... sons and daughters of Helghan...

this much, I know: the history of these days will be written in blood. by crushing the armies of our enemy, by seizing the weapons they thought to turn against us, we were fighting for our very existence. but if those who will deny us peace refuse us our rightful place in the universe,the we will be forced to unleash such terrible vengence that generations yet unborn will cry out in anguish!"
~ Scholar Visari addressing the people of Helghan

let this be the recorded: war has been declared upon Lieutenant "Bladelord" by General "Broadstorm" . The General had this to say on his statement: "let him hide behind his shield... he will be hunted."

(I hope this war does not become serious, though...)

a small meditation (I wish I could say it in Latin... that would be cool!)

as I was reading a book titled "the grunt padre" I noticed a large portion of the book (in the beginning) had the recurring theme of heroes of the decades. as I thought about it. it made me think about who my heroes were. I was almost shocked to find no heroes in the media, which is a source of heroes for many people. even more shocking, as I looked deeper, I found that the "heroes" that some find are really just as un-heroic as the villains themselves.
   The media (meaning movies and games for this convenient moment.) have all had some take of starting off something with a defined good and bad side, and then the person who is on the good side notices the rotten core of his side and the good in the bad side and.. well.. they never finish.
   this is a main thing you see nowadays. the basis of the hero has been torn to shreds and now, all we have left are "heroes" who have good intentions, but purposefully will do everything against their morals (if they have them) to accomplish that end. this does not make them heroes. this makes them just as immoral, unjust, and hateful as the villains themselves. and the easily misled find these figures as heroes to look up to.
   on the other side, there haven't been many heroes to find these days. most of the heroes we find are outwardly heroes, but turn out to be more out for themselves and not for others, while the people who many find AS heroes are people like blessed mother Theresa, JPII, and many other who, not by coincidence, happen to be part of some sort of christian denomination (I can't speak for others in other nations, just for my society.)
