Why is the longshot so expensive




















Design errors and constant malfunctions irritated users, as did the relatively weak firing power. These have pretty quickly climbed in value, but gem mint options like this one are easy to find.

This double-barreled beast comes in two colors, white and blue, the latter of which is more desirable to collectors for a couple of reasons. And, second, it was released as part of a Costco-exclusive value pack in , which came with two extra drums, fifty extra darts, and was the first Nerf set to feature pre-packaged batteries.

You could take down an actual rhino with this boxed model. My own daughters really enjoy the Star Wars range.

The Star Wars onslaught will still likely continue, and be joined by a new licensing powerhouse. Ever hear of Fortnite? Use all your Jedi mind tricks to convince your partner that this new-in-box unit is a worthwhile investment.

Get the right combination of a powerful spring and a long enough barrel though and you could start firing out Elite darts reasonably accurately. The fact though is that stock Nerf darts are inherently inaccurate so you'll never get perfect accuracy. If you want sheer firepower, the Longshot is definitely the way to go. If you're willing to have powerful, compact firing at the cost of an even harder prime, the Retaliator is a suitable option.

With the correct barrel and the right spring, the Retaliator can fire Elite darts at quite a reasonable range with surprising accuracy. Compared to the Longshot the Retaliator must use a more powerful spring to achieve the same range, but it's a lot smaller and lighter, which can be a huge advantage in HvZ. Since I personally don't consider the Retaliator to really be a precision rifle type blaster, I'd go for a Longshot if clip system is your thing.

If you're more open to other options besides clip system blasters, there are a few high power blasters that would work as precision blasters, even with stock darts.

Nitefinders, Firestrikes and other single shots with reasonably sized direct plungers can fire Suction darts and Whistlers a good distance with surprising accuracy, with a rebarrel and spring upgrade. Of course, they're not capable of firing multiple shots quickly as they're single shots, but they have accuracy superior to that of Elite dart firing clip system blasters, and can have great ranges. There are a number of other powerful blasters out there that would work the same way as these single shots, each with their own strengths and weaknesses.

So in summary, if you're willing to risk the inaccuracy of Elite darts then the Longshot or Retaliator will probably best suit your needs. The Longstrike doesn't have anywhere near the same power as the Longshot or any of the Elites because it uses the N-Strike reverse plunger. It only has the looks, so if you're really intent on using the Longstrike, you'll have to replace its internals with something with more power, like Elite direct plungers.

If accuracy is an absolute must, then something like a Nitefinder, Firestrike, Lanard Tripleshot converted into a Quadshot will be your best bet, as they can use Whistlers, Suctions and Dart Taggers which are far more accurate than the horrid Elite and Streamline darts.

Though they don't have the rapid fire and fast reload ability of clip system blasters, they have the accuracy you're looking for.

Alright, sounds good. Instead, it's something called Dystopia Rising. Modded darts are fine, so long as they're still made of soft materials. Accuracy is the most important consideration, followed by range it does need to have a longer range than the average blaster. With that clarification included, would your advice change?

Not really. All modded darts do is improve the accuracy of all blasters, while the range changes depending on the power of the blaster and the make of the darts. Nevertheless, all the blasters I mentioned earlier will still be able to achieve above averange range, depending on what the average range is and how crazy the participants are. My blaster recommendations don't change, since they are all capable of a good mix of accuracy and range, but the darts you use will entirely depend on what blaster you decide to use.

It's more important that you are comfortable with the blaster you are using, not you like a certain type of ammo. Not sure if I should just take a low offer or stick it out as it could be a collectable? In Australia btw. Somewhere around for a full blaster depending on condition I think. Longshots are not in high demand and there are quite a lot of them around so I wouldn't expect too much.

But, the longshot has a built in bipod. Both have a built in stock. If you ask me, having the stock built in is a downgrade.

Yes, you need a stock for it to be a real sniper, but at the time, modular stock where a thing. Yes, modulas wouldnt come out for a while.

But still. I think the longstrike is better because it has high acreecy and my facroite nerf gun in the world p. Saturday, 30 June Nerf Longshot vs Longstrike. Anonymous 25 November at Alpha 1 July at IPDJ 15 April at Unknown 26 April at Anonymous 5 December at Anonymous 23 December at Anonymous 1 January at With a pump handle mechanism, the long-named N-Strike Whiteout Series deploy CS-6 comes with six round quick-reload clips for fast and accurate shooting.

The pump-handle can also be converted to a flashlight, and the design is one to envy those players who own such a Nerf gun. The uniqueness of this Nerf hybrid between a shield and a blaster made the Nerf Max Force Manta one of the most sought after Nerf product of all. It was made to look like a Manta Ray, with the body blocking incoming fire and multiple barrels which are able to shoot angled darts which converge on the target. Released back in , the Nerf Max Force Manta impressed fans so much that today, there are parents who share the fun with their kids.

The N-Strike Vulcan EBF is a big, belt-fed dart blaster that looks like a machine gun and has a fire rate of 3 Elite darts per second. Perfect for suppressing the enemy in dart battles, the Vulcan EBF even features a tripod for a more improved aiming efficiency. The belts have 25 darts each and the top handle made it easy to carry around, giving it the feeling of really operating a machine gun.

There was even a barrel extension for longer ranges and a flip up sight for better accuracy. It has a range of 35 feet. Several of the blasters here are valued at less than ten dollars, and there are several wrong photos. The Vulcan is worth like 30 dollars The Rayven is worth around 40 dollars The Longstrike is worth around 15 dollars The Pyragon is worth around 40 dollars The Deploy is worth around 10 dollars Also most of the images are incorrect.

They are talking OG new in box pristine condition for collectors. Opened used blasters yeah way cheaper… With out the box and unused bookoo bucks. Save my name, email, and website in this browser for the next time I comment.
