Says Nerf on the box?

Well if we're all looking at guns in the background. Did any of you see the handle of the gun on the right? Didn't look like a handle on any of the guns I've seen.

I cruise around on Lazer Tag forums every now and then, and it's called a Lazer Tag Pheonix LTX. It was released a few months back. Nothing new.

This picture is screaming "SM1K!!!!" at my face.

Then again, that "pump" on the gun would be very small, which means that it may be a springer. As many other's have said, time will tell.

Wow. The Raider and the Furyfires just look absolutely amazing.

To clear up the speculation, Kid Flash, could you get a close up of the two yellow guns near the bottom of the back of the Raider box?

It looks like maybe 2 other 2009 guns, as both have clips that are huge. I just don't think it could be a yellow Longshot, as the blue one is still on store shelves. I understand the new Magstrikes, as they're not sold very often anymore, but Longshots are still everywhere. Ain't happening, but one with a better spring/better seal would be awesome I think it might be the Spartan and something else....

No it's a longshot. It has a gray stock and a front gun. It may just be a super clip or drum clip attached but it's definitely a yellow longshot.

That looks like a handle to a drill.

Kid Flash: can you get pictures other than side views of guns? Such as front and back views?

It's an LS.

I guess they're finally yellowing the LS, huh?

I wonder if Yellow LS will come with the drum... Probably not. I'm betting it was a "The Drum Magazine is also compatible with the Longshot CS-6 and Recon CS-6!" or some shit.

[Merzlin]

Man, that thing is totally an SM1K-redone. I can't wait!

[ilzot]

Never mind. Definatly yellow LS. It has the drum mag next to it and then the yellow LS and then something else. I'm guessing it's the Spartan. But the drummag on the LS just threw me off.

Would be nice to see a closeup still

They are both part of the laser tag guns. if you bothered to look at the box it is in front of you would know. it may say "from the makers of Nerf". They have been around for a while now. The capture the flag thing could become very useful for wars though.

I zoomed in on the back of the box with Photoshop for the Raider and both the LS and Recon have mags in them that look like super clips since they are extra long so I assume that they are the drum mags. The picture was kinda blurry when I zoomed in so I couldn't see anything else like the words or anything.

I'm curious as to why the longshot is being converted into yellow, while the raider is being released as blue as part of the n-strike line. I'm guessing they'll re-color that at some point too. The ten-shot does look sick, and excitingly reminicent of he SM1k. However, to whoever said the pump would have to be very small, making it possiby a springer, the pump could run through the middle of the turet, allowing it to extend all the way to the back of the gun. Also, on the capture the flag pistols, the second "barrel" seems to be more of a ammo holder. I'm still skeptical as to whether those pistols will be pump or reverse plunger slide priming mech designs. The plus shaped looking bar could be simply for looks, rather than be part of a pump.

[Wes7143]

it looks like the 09 recon and LS both have the "superclips" that we've been making for years.

I've darkened the outline of the magazines on both guns:


Seems like an incredible year for nerfers who use stock guns. For modders, I may see potential in the dart tag guns, which both appear to be airguns.

[Kid Flash]

They are not superclips. The box merely shows that the drum magazine fits into the longshot and recon. Which is awesome by the way. I'm having my dad send another email to the guy as I speak.

[The Nerf Devil]

In my opinion both of the new dart tag guns are definitely air guns because if you look at the picture of the orange dart tag gun with the pump/priming handle halfway there is nothing protruding from the back of the gun so it's an air gun, the capture the flag guns are air guns because there is no other way for it to prime than the handle on the top which has a rod much more like a pump handle than a plunger rod.

[ilzot]

Yup. That's what I thought, rather than a superclip after thought.

More info. I'm craving it. Maybe a free prototype?

Yeah right.

I'm looking into this but think of it this way. The maverick doesn't protrude. The crossfire doesn't. The longshot doesn't. The only points that I see that suggests air power is the sm1k and the small rod. Which could be just to push back an actual priming rod. Think of the gears in the lanard pump action speed loader.

I agree with 1337's new sig. Those new Furyfires look sweet! I might make another "Lover" out of that.

I know that a lot of guns with reverse plungers don't protrude but if you look at the stroke length and compare it to the amount of space where a plunger COULD be it would have to protrude and there isn't enough space have a plunger tube with the right plunger travel that doesn't protrude in that space.

I'm just saying that it's possible.

[The Nerf Devil]

Yes it is possible but highly unlikely and improbable.

Before saying something like that look at the schofield(or however it's spelled)... The guy made a gun with about a 1 inch plunger stroke and it went the same distance as a stock gun.

Wow the fury fire looks as if it could be made into an air powered doomsayer.Or spring pistolsayer?
