yes! clip guns! so the dart tag magstrike sounds like the powerclip. sweet. and the longshot rifle also sounds sweet. pictures?

[JSkater]

Holy fuck, indeed.

[Uncle Hammer]

Maybe hasbro likes the PC clip mod.... Because that sure as hell sounds like a clip modded PC.

[NerfMonkey]

I'm not setting my hopes too high as for ranges, but a clip-fed springer sounds ultra-sexy. At least I assume it will be a springer if it's compatible with the CF and DTBs. Of course I'm talking about the Longshot, no confusion.

A working scope and bipod? What the hell? That doesn't sound...Nerfish to me, they wouldn't have done this a year ago. It's probably just a gimmicky thing to jack up the price $10 but oh well, I'll still buy it if it's clip-fed and spring-powered. Sounds nice.

As for the Magstrike, I can't wait for that. It sounds to me exactly like a PC re-released with extra clips. Maybe Hasbro is listening to people who want stuff like this.

I'm really excited about this stuff. Thanks SofaKing, I never would've found that if you hadn't posted it.

Oh, and there are no pictures, I checked the actual article out. Maybe in a month.

[Carbon]

This fall? Man, that's a long wait.

The pistol sounds cool, but yeah, the thought of Nerf selling anything powerful enough out of the box to make good use of a scope and bipod is unlikely. Although that really doesn't matter, as everyone in their target demo is gonna want one if they make it look good enough.

The possibilities for modding could be interesting, at any rate.

[Crappy Nerfer]

Holy fck.

Wow, thanks for showing me the link for conformation. Really, this has to be the best news concerning NERF in a long time . Sweet! So happy...

And if it stays active for more than 4 hours, consult a physician. This gave me a severe fit of maniacal laughter. It sounds a lot like Viagra for children. I sure could go for the "rush of competition and the thrill of victory".

On a serious note, I'm quite interested to see where this leads. The Magstrike sounds very much like a PC. If that's the case, Hasbro could see some serious profit on the series. The Longshot sounds Titan-ish, but springy style. I absolutely can't wait to see the possible innovations for these.

As for the wait, relax guys. Take out your old guns and have some fun. If these new releases are phenomenal, you might be using your old friends less. This will give you some time to think of new mods/homemades too.

[Ronster]

Thats awsome! Thanks Sofaking.

I still can't tell wether the longshot is a spinger or not. 'Cause a clip loading springer would be kick ass. The longshot sounds the the asshole of nerf.

[Starbuck]

They've paid attention to our magazine fed weapons. I said a long time ago that single shot weapons were slowly going out. I hope these can be modded.

The CS sounds like it could replace the Crossbow if it's moddable. Clip fed, working scope, bi pod?! Wow... I'm impressed with Nerf's progress. It could turn out to be junk, but hey... I couldn't have imagined them marketing anything like this.

[Anothernoob]

Hi all,
Any idea on when Hasbro will release pics?

[Shivon]

Starbuck, is there anything thats not moddable? These sound like they are noticing some of you guys, and going "Why didn't we do that?" I can't friggin wait.

[TheGreenMachine]

Wow! I'll repeat what everyone else said, but the magstrike sounds very much like a pc. The two clips got me extra excited to see it. I can't wait for this fall, I just hope it's worth the wait.

[WratH]

It would be great if the magstrike clips work in a pc, or will with some tweaking. I seriously doubt it, but one can hope. Can't wait to see what's next.

[nerfer34]

My question is when they say "clip" , I really wonder how their manufactured clip works. Besides that this sounds awesome but I will only get one or the other so I'll need some feedback by you guys come the fall! Thanks for the update!

[Forsaken angel24]

Well then think about this. When the wildfire was rereleased as the rapid-fire they used the same turrets. I think they will use the same clips.I am also very anxious to see this longshot in action. Hopefully these guns dont bomb out like the firefly.

[Paloose]

I am very excited about this, but for all we know, the longshot may just be another sawtooth. Either way I'll be sure to purchase these.

[sistermol]

awsome I hope they get pics soon

[Peter]

lol bipod

"Longest nerf blaster ever"


didn't they teachthem that it's not all about length..

It's not the size that matters... it's how you use it...
Sorry I couldn't resist.
What made me wonder is the description of the Longshot; that it separates into two independant guns. Kinda reminds me of the old Defender T3 of the Cyber Strike series, but that's going waaaay back.

I use a DT3. Gah, that's a good gun if you know how to mod it.

Be pretty nifty to have an upgrade.

[flashflint]

Oh my god i just peed myself That is so frikin ausome.

[Shotty Master]

I recall a time not long before the release of the N-strike when people thought Nerf was dying. Here's a fork. Here's a spoon. Prepare to eat your words...

I think that even if the magstrike is another sawtooth, that would still be great. This means they are either:
A. Beginning to notice the intrest in mag fed blasters;
or
B. Going back to the older designs.

We can't loose. OMC, Talio, or CHeifthe, whenever you can tell us something on these, please do.

[NerfLad78]

Wow. I leave for a couple weeks, and suddenly Hasbro gets pimp. It does sound alot like a rerelease of the PC to me. That's pretty sweet in my opinion. I'm excited about how Nerf is finally migrating from making a bazillion of pistols.
