The '''Longshot CS-6''' is a clip fed and manually cycled [[Nerf]] [[Nerf blaster|blaster]] that was released in [[2007]] under the [[N-Strike]] series. It is currently the second longest Nerf blaster, the longest being the [[Longstrike CS-6]]. The Longshot was the first Nerf blaster to feature the [[Clip system|clip system]], which allows the blaster to feed [[Streamline Dart]]s from removable [[Clip|clips]] or [[drum]]s.

  +
The blaster was put out of production in the United States in mid-[[2010]] due to the release of the the Longstrike CS-6. Due to the shortage in North America, it can go for very high prices on eBay and other auction sites, sometimes even matching the typical mint price for the [[Crossbow]]. However, there appears to be no shortage in Australia, the United Kingdom, or Singapore. Due to this, this blaster is often misconceived as being discontinued.

The Longshot internals are fairly complex. It has a [[direct plunger]] system, having the largest [[plunger]] of all the clip system blasters, making it the most powerful stock clip-system blaster. The internals have several locks built into the firing mechanism. One of them doesn't allow the trigger to be pulled while the bolt is back, another doesnt allow the blaster to be recocked immediatly after firing; this makes the user wait a second at most to recock the blaster. Another lock stops the clip from being removed while the bolt is foward. All of the locks can be removed during modification.

The blaster features a bolt-action cocking system. There is a [[tactical rail]] on top of the blaster, above the jam door.

There is a collapsible, integrated stock that can store an extra clip, as well as an integrated folding bipod located in front of the clip. The bipod works the best with the standard six dart clip, but can be used with others, by proping the bipod on something like a ledge or a desk.

Template:Infobox BlasterFor the similarly named blaster, see Longstrike CS-6.

The Longshot CS-6 is a clip fed and manually cycled Nerf blaster that was released in 2007 under the N-Strike series. It is currently the second longest Nerf blaster, the longest being the Longstrike CS-6. The Longshot was the first Nerf blaster to feature the clip system, which allows the blaster to feed Streamline Darts from removable clips or drums.

The blaster was put out of production in the United States in mid-2010 due to the release of the the Longstrike CS-6. Due to the shortage in North America, it can go for very high prices on eBay and other auction sites, sometimes even matching the typical mint price for the Crossbow. However, there appears to be no shortage in Australia, the United Kingdom, or Singapore. Due to this, this blaster is often misconceived as being discontinued.

The Longshot comes packaged with its front blaster/barrel extension, one six dart clip, six Streamline Darts, and a tactical scope.

Details

Internals

The Longshot internals are fairly complex. It has a direct plunger system, having the largest plunger of all the clip system blasters, making it the most powerful stock clip-system blaster. The internals have several locks built into the firing mechanism. One of them doesn't allow the trigger to be pulled while the bolt is back, another doesnt allow the blaster to be recocked immediatly after firing; this makes the user wait a second at most to recock the blaster. Another lock stops the clip from being removed while the bolt is foward. All of the locks can be removed during modification.

External features

The blaster features a bolt-action cocking system. There is a tactical rail on top of the blaster, above the jam door. It doubles as a carrying handle, though it can be uncomfortable for those users with bigger hands. The jam door is located under the tactical rail and slides back when the bolt is open.

There is a collapsible, integrated stock that can store an extra clip, as well as an integrated folding bipod located in front of the clip. The bipod works the best with the standard six dart clip, but can be used with others, by proping the bipod on something like a ledge or a desk.

The blaster's clip release is located on the right side of the blaster, in front of the trigger and there is a notification on the top of the blaster behind the tactical rail that tells if the blaster is cocked or not.
