Here is what you can do fashiznor117, quit school, and play nerf instead, or play nerf in school. That's what I did

play nerf in school

That is a fine way to end up with a highly publicized suspension.

Yeah, I don't think that's something my high-school would be too happy about. It would be fun, though.

About the new guns, the magstrike seems like a less than $30 gun. Is it packaged with 2 like the dart set?

Nope. However, it does come with an extra clip, a Dart Tag vest, and official Nerf protective sunglasses.

...all in your choice of Red or Blue coloration!

[fashiznor117]

Maybe it's just the picture that makes it look like that.

Back when I was in high school I organised a nerf war with everyone who was at the 30 hour famine. There where about 25 of us in tottal. No one had there own guns I just brought my whole arsenal and we had a huge war in the second floor of the school. It was pretty sweet.

My question concerns the stock of the Magstrike, is it actually comfortable to shoulder? Or is it a psuedo(of sorts) stock like on the Double shot where it is so small that it couldn't possibly be useful?

I am aware that the longshots stock was mentioned to be comfortable, so if this question was already posted show it to me.

[Groove]

Yes, the stock was very comfortable when I shouldered it. It's plastic shell has a curved surface on the rear, which helps it fit fairly well to the contour of the shoulder.

I've never shouldered a Double Shot so I wouldn't be able to draw a connection between the two, but I've shouldered lots of guns and it was pretty comfortable.

I don't know if this helps but I think it gives a bit more detail on the LS and compares it to the mav size.....Longshot

Edit- I didn't take that pic- I found it.

The doubleshot's stock is only about 4-5" long. So you either have to just hold it out or extend it out with cardboard, pvc, etc.

But anyway, thanks.

[SneakUP]

Any Idea of how much these guns will be. And do you think the magstrike will be able to shoot both clips after primeing it once?

Oh my fucking christ.

Read the entire topic you asshole. The prices have been mentioned so many times that it's dizzying.

$29.99.

So many fucking times.

Holy Crap, I can't wait for fall.

[fashiznor117]

Hasbro would be smarter to release them in the Summer when more kids are playing. I'll probably be buying the longshot first.

[m15399]

Super Soakers dominate the summer. It's when it gets cold again that kids get their parents to take them to the store to get some more toy guns.

[last man standin]

Holy fucking shit!!!

The longshot is the next blaster i'm getting.period.

And for anybody who remembers me, im not fully back, just about 2/5 percent back. I'll be posting a little but not nerfing too much.

Mebe its time to take my trusty A-storm out of reitrement, eh?

[Bungee950]

Well, I'm going to have to buy the Longshot. Man. Can't wait for fall.

[VGN]

I'm so happy I decided to show up here and at the HQ when I did.

The Scope comes off and can be fit on ANY of the NStrike blasters with the rail system on top (ie Nightfinder which looks sick, Firefly, etc.)

damit is that why they have those stoopid orange pieces... I took those off

[m15399]

No it's so you can connect them to a titan and make a 20 pound unusable weapon.

The scope on the longshot uses the same rail system as the titan and the crossfire, so the orange things are for the scope as well as connecting to a titan, though I'm not sure if the orange things are required for either. I think the only thing you need on the gun for it to attach (to a scope, titan, or CF) is the rail itself.

And a Titan with another weapon attached is not unusable. It's actually pretty fun carrying a full N-strike system in an indoor war, even though its ridiculous and impractical, the look on your friend's face when you spray 7 darts and a giant missile at him is priceless.

It’s the moment you all have been waiting for. Hasbro has released info to us about the new fall ’06 lineup. Before I even begin, let me just say that these are 2 of the GREATEST looking and coolest blasters to come out……dare I say, EVER!

Ok, let’s get down to it. This year we were allowed to add Groove to the elite few who have been to Hasbro. BEFORE ANYONE EVEN POSTS ABOU IT, NO YOU CAN’T GO. Anyone who asks and/or bitches will not only NEVER have the opportunity, but may find themselves on the receiving end of a 9999 special.


First up the Magstrike. Simply put, this is everything we wanted the PC to be AND MORE. It comes with 2 removable clips. The clips are smaller and lighter than the PC’s. and they have a belt clip on them. You get 2 in the box and they are fully removable w/o modification. The stock on the back now houses the bladder. It’s exactly the PC’s internals, flipped around. The blaster is extremely well balanced and fires nicely. I can’t wait to use it. I really think I will change many views on automatic blasters in wars. They will be available in blue and red to coincide with the Dart Tag team theme.

Hopefully that cleared that up. Any questions please post and Talio, Groove, or I will answer as best we can.

NOW ON TO THE MOTHER LOAD.


The Longshot is the baddest thing on the planet. Badder than the Power Glove. ALMOST Badder than Chuck Norris. Anyway, on to the blaster. It is by far the longest blaster ever built. Imagine everything about the FAR in a REAL Nerf blaster. This thing has been in development longer than the FAR so no comments about it being a rip off.

The specs:
It uses a clip system. It really works. It works b/c it uses a new streamline ammo. The micro dart tips are now even with the foam. No more collar. Dare I say, they might make for good stefans. It houses a spare clip in the butt. The stock is adhustable. It is bolt action just like the far after every shot. The Scope comes off and can be fit on ANY of the NStrike blasters with the rail system on top (ie Nightfinder which looks sick, Firefly, etc.) The bipod is kinda cool. The font is actually another blaster. Man there is so much to tell about this blaster. I hope I got most of it.

For the record, we have no info on ranges or anything like that. Nothing to measure with, but by sight I think the Magstrike out performed a PC. The Longshot shoots extremely well for such a complicated gun. Also, no info on internals. We just didn’t wee them.

Good News:
The Magstrike looks easy to Mod.

Bad News:
I’m REALLY skeptical on the Longshot’s moddability. It’s extremely complex and who knows what one can do to it. Again, this is just speculation b/c we have not seen the internals.


ENJOY, and hit us up with those questions.

ahhhhhhh *drools* i need to get the longshot... ive been obsessing for about a week or 2, ive got a question, how far does it shoot? farther than any other nerf gun i hope (that would be sweet) and you also said it was a mock scope that worked to some extenct? how much does it work?

[kaiman299]

That's pretty much self-explanitory.

[murakumo32]

So theoretically, you could combine the Titan (and Hornet) to the Longshot to make one gigantic clip fed, missile launching, 6 more micro firing, bolt action, panick button equipped, extra clip weilding, super foam weapon of foamination and bad-assulating overweight, and overly size, gun? Kick ass, give me a release date. (when we get one)

[Black Blade]

All I can say is "wow".
