Nerf N-Strike Longstrike CS-6 Dart Blaster(Discontinued by manufacturer)

First off I'd like to start by saying that I'm 16 and that I always wanted a toy like this but I could never convince my parents to buy me something like it. Now that I have a real job however, all of that have changed and I can buy pretty much whatever the heck I want. If I want a colorful looking gun-toy that shoots foam darts than so be it!Now onto the actual product itself. This thing is a lot bigger than you would expect it to be, for example, if you saw a video of it on YouTube(looks a lot smaller). It is truly enormous but heavy enough as to where it doesn't feel cheap, yet light enough to wield easily. It comes with 6 darts, a detachable barrel, an orange clip to hold the darts, and a nice plastic sight to add to the top of the gun. If you were to buy another nerf gun that came with different attachments, such as the recon, you could mix up the Longstrike's attachments with the Recon's and vise versa. Very cool for kids who like to swap and experiment with things. Also the Longstrike comes with two spare clip holders on the stock(The stock of the gun feels nice on the shoulder, and there is a slot for a strap to be added to if you so choose to.), unfortunately those two spare clips are not included and a seperate 'clip kit' must be bought to get the additional clips. This is not a big deal however, since that kit is only around 10$ or so and they really aren't essential at all to enjoy this toy.The Longstrike shoots just ok, better than the nerf pistol maverick, but still not as far as you would think it would go. The claim on the box is accurate though(up to 35ft), but even more so when you take the barrel off of the Longstrike, further adding to its range. I like to keep it on since I feel as though when you take it off it removes that whole 'Oh sweet! I'm a super cool sniper!' feel.The only part I didn't like about the Longstrike is the fact that the yellow painted parts of the gun look and feel poorly painted. I rubbed these yellow parts and they definitely seemed as though if you applied enough pressure, over a while, they would eventually rub off completely. Once again not a big deal at all since they aren't a part of the gun you're going to be touching often and there is really only one yellow part aside from the Nerf logo.The stock of the gun feels nice on the shoulder, and there is a slot for a strap to be added to if you so choose to.Educational wise, this is after all only a gun, but it could teach littler ones as to how a gun operates since even the Longstrike being the toy that it is, comes with some realistic gun-like features such as having to pull the bolt back before putting a magazine in, using a clip release, holding the stock against the shoulder in the correct manner, etc etc.All and all, I must say this is an awesome toy for a wide range of ages. The special thing about nerf guns to me is that you can shoot them in the house without breaking anything, unlike a potentially dangerous airsoft or paintball gun. The latter in which I own but can't use since there isn't any paintball parks in my town ever since I moved. This is why I think this nerf gun suits me very nicely.It's Nerf or nothing!...Quite literally.

This is a great weapon. It's lighter, sleeker, and far less cumbersome than it's Longshot brother. I find it odd that people claim the Longshot's performance out of box is so great, because I've never gotten a great performance from mine. (I bought mine online before they even hit stores though so maybe I got one from a bad batch.) That being said, I was actually very impressed with the Long Strike's range and accuracy. The barrel extension doesn't do much to help...but it looks cool. Without the extension this is probably my favorite Nerf rifle now. I'm not a modder (I have young nieces and nephews and they don't really need to be playing with super-powered Nerf guns.) so for me this gun is perfect just the way it is. The flip up sight is more just for looks than anything and the clip storage in the stock is a lot more efficient than the one on the Longshot.All in all, I'd say this is the best Nerf rifle on the market right now. There are probably die-hard Nerf modders out there who will disagree with me. But for the rest of us who aren't looking to mod anything...I would highly recommend buying this one over either the Recon or the Longshot. Then again, if you have the money, buy all three.

I purchased the Longstrike to add to my cubicle arsenal at work... Considering that most Nerf products are meant for children, my review might not be geared toward what a child thinks or deems as "good," but I will try to highlight the pro's and con's of the product and compare it to the rest of the Nerf lineup that I have used before. Here at work, we also have the Longshot, Raider, Vulcan, and Maverick.Overall build quality of the toy gun is fairly good. It has the same blue plastic camo design of the Raider, and is durable in the sense that it was dropped to carpeted flooring from a height of ~5 feet and nothing so far has broken or cracked off. It feels fairly nice in your hands, and with all the add-on plastic accessories it looks nice (such as the longer barrel, the 'iron' sights, and the non-adjustable butt stock.) The bolt action and slide mechanism was fairly smooth, is identical to how a stock Longshot is racked, and give this gun a more of a "rifle" feel, as I think Hasbro was intending. Ammo clips are interchangeable with the Raider's drum magazine, however it is quite awkward to hold with the drum in place. In a cubicle/office area where it is used, it is fairly large (in full rifle format) compared to the Raider. The extra ammo clip holder in the fixed stock is a nice touch, however it is a little difficult to get the magazine out once it has been inserted. Six shots go fast in an office firefight.With the reverse plunger system that applies the power to the darts, your dart range is very limited. We have fairly long hallways and when the longer barrel attachment is added, range and velocity is fairly poor. Actually I would describe it as dismal. The Longstrike has the "looks" of a rifle, but let me assure you, it is not. Accuracy, well, it's not like i'm expecting this to be super accurate, (it's shooting foam darts, duh!) but with the full barrel, my test shots showed the longer barrel configuration greatly reduced the range due to friction against the dart and did not significantly improve the shot accuracy when compared to just the built-in barrel. Stock firing distances were less than a non-modified Raider.. about 25 feet, unless you arc the shot... I suppose in an near close-quarter cube battle, this would suffice, but remember this comes with a non-collapsible stock, it's not that maneuverable. The Longstrike is limited in rate of fire especially with the bolt action. The iron sights look nice, but are pretty worthless, even with the "elevation" hashmark gimmick (which reminds me of a grenade launcher sight)Modifications? Ugh. don't get me started.. To get the edge in cube warfare, I try my best to get more range and better accuracy. The first thing i did was to remove the air restrictor. Disassembly of the Longstrike is relatively easy, (you will need two different sized phillip screw driver bits.) The plunger system comes out with just two screws and you can get access to the spring assembly. With a 1/2" extra long drill bit and my portable drill, i was able to remove the restriction fairly easy and it has added about 10+ feet of more range to the darts, but also increased the bolt firing noise significantly. I still have not yet sourced a stronger aftermarket spring yet, however McMaster-Carr seems to have the size compression springs that I need.. more on this later when i figure it all out. My Longshot is modified to have the AR-15 spring, fore-arm shot-gun pump, and air restrictor removed... my Raider has the air restrictor removed as well.. I don't think the Longstrike will ever get to the 'potential' of the Longshot's range w/o heavy modification to the existing barrel and upgraded spring, and/or dart changes.In summary, I am dissapointed in the Nerf Longstrike. It is neither accurate, nor does it have the power to get the range you'd expect for a "long strike." If you want a good 6-shot blaster with decent range, get a Longshot (w/o all that extended barrel junk) and modify that-- it has much more potential. If you want a high fire-rate for close quarters, definitely get the Raider with the fore-grip pump action... If you want a good looking gun, well... I guess this is it? For me, the Longstrike, just strikes out.. maybe I'll change my mind after a suitable spring replacement is found to increase the range/power, but until then, I would recommend you skip this one.

Die Longstrike CS-6 ist ein MUSS für jeden Nerf gamer. Sie schießt weit und präzise! Außerdem wird es wirklich schnell geliefert.( Ich hatte pech da ich es Samstag abends bestellt habe:( ) Natürlich kann man die Longstrike nicht wirklich als Scharfschützen sehen, da die Pfeile nach einer Zeit so oder so abweichen. Mein persönlicher Tipp: Schafft euch Zusatzpfeile an, da die Pfeile die dabei sind, aus irgendwelchen Gründen, nicht sehr lange halten. Mehrere Magazine wären auch nützlich, die Longstrike hat nämlich hinten am Kolben eine Halterung für zwei zusätzliche Magazine. Und wer sie richtig cool haben will sollte sich andere Visiere anschaffen z.b.:(finde ich persönlich am coolsten!!!)den Laser Pointer der Recon unten an den Lauf und das Visier der Element(ist ebenfalls nur in den USA erhältlich, außer in Toys R` Us) oben an die steckschiene an zu bringen. Aber der Geschmack ist ja bei jedem anders. Fazit:Echt coole Waffe, Geld lohnt sich.

子供がとても喜んでくれました。思っていたよりも長くてとても迫力がありました。弾は柔らかい素材でできていたので、子供でも安心して遊ぶ事ができました。

Die nerf N-Stike Longstrike CS-6 Blaster ist das was sie verspricht.Sie ist Treffsicher und hat die Erscheinung eines Scharfschützengewehres. Ich kann es jedem Kind weiterempfehlen und auch den Väter macht es sehr viel Spaß mit jemanden um die Wette zu ballern. Lieber im Spaß als das die Kinder später zu einem richtigen Gewehr greifen

Ich habe die Nerf, für meinen Cousin gekauft, und sie tut, was sie verspricht. Die Verarbeitung ist gut, aber dennoch ist es Plastik ;) Ich denke, dass die Nerfs die weiterentwickelten Softair-Waffen sind. Sie üben eine große Faszination auf Kinder und Jugendliche aus. Daher denke ich, und weiß auch aus eigener Erfahrung, dass der Umgang damit Spaß macht, wenn man in Rollenspiele vertieft ist. Würde den Kauf für Leute empfehlen, die wissen, dass sie das wollen, nicht für Anfänger und zu kleine Kinder (14+). Die "Patronen" tun nicht weh auf der Haut, können aber dennoch gefährlich an Augen etc sein.Bei Aufklärung der Verwender sehe ich aber keine / eine nur sehr geringe Gefahr. Kurz zusammengefasst:--> Die Nerf ist für Kenner und "Nerf-Profis" geeignet, kann Spaß machen, sollte aber nicht in Hände von zu kleinen Kindern geraten.

Die NERF Longstrike CS-6 Blaster hatte sich mein Sohn zum Geburtstag gewünscht...eine die ihm noch fehltein seiner "Sammlung". Das Teil ist sehr groß und gut verarbeitet - aber: Nach ca. 50-60 Schuss war/ist dieFeder zu Luftkompression so ausgeleiert, dass die meisten Pfeile mehr rausfallen als rausgeschossen werden.Da, wie schon zuvor gesagt, meine Kinder fast das gesamte "NERF-Arsenal" besitzen, ist dies die schlechtestewas die Schussleistung angeht. Selbst die kleinste Taschen-NERF schießt weiter. Mir ist schon klar, dass es sichhierbei um ein Kinderspielzeug handelt, aber das das Ding so schnell ausleiert ist nicht normal.Fazit: Sohnemann enttäuscht, das Ding steht seit dem in der Ecke und 45 € in den Sand gesetzt.Geld sparen und was anderes kaufen.
