The Nerf Longshot is the one of the most sought after models in the Nerf N-Strike range.
Even though it has a relatively slow rate of fire (being a manual bolt-action blaster), perhaps its the Longshot's "sniper rifle" design or the fact that this model is the longest Nerf gun in the range (more than 3 feet long!), everybody wants one!

Does it come with darts
ReplyDeleteand how many?
and where can i buy it from!
can u give me all the places that sell this model.
and on ur oppinian
the blue longshot or the yellow longshot ,which is nicer?
Yellow
DeleteThe Blue Longshot is packaged with 2 x 6-dart magazines and 12 x streamline foam darts.
ReplyDeleteThe Yellow Longshot is the same design (just different colour) but only comes with 1 x 6-dart magazine and 6 x streamline foam darts.
I guess its up to your personal colour preference.
But note that you wouldn't be able to find the Blue Longshot in local stores anymore, it is now replaced by the Yellow Longshot.
You can find Yellow Longshots in almost all local dept stores nowadays.
i can't find it antwhere
Deleteplease help
Does it mean that there will only be 1 clip to hold the foam bullets?
ReplyDeletebut its quite unfair D:
i personally like the yellow one
Yup, the new Yellow Longshots only come with 1 x 6-dart magazine.
ReplyDeleteYou'll have to buy additional magazines seperately (ie. Nerf Flip Clip set).
and how much does that cost?
ReplyDeleteLOL
are there really no more blue long shot? T.T
The Nerf Flip Clip set costs $39.90, comes packaged with 2 x 6-dart magazines, 30 x Streamline darts and the "Flip Clip" connector.
ReplyDeleteYou might still be able to order Blue Longshots from overseas, but locally there are now only Yellow Longshots.
I brought a flip clip for $12.99 and at my local target there was both blue and yellow longshots(though the blue ones were secound hand). Any way once you have placed tge bolt in your gun is there anyway to get it out to mod my gun. Also I heard you could put the recon barrel on the longshot is this true does work vice versa also could you post some pictures of them with switched barrels. Thanks :C
ReplyDeleteI investigated and found that you can buy blue longshots (though secound hand). And you can buy a flip clip for $12.99.
ReplyDeleteI should clarify the currency i use in my comments, i'm in Singapore so my prices are quoted in $SGD. :)
ReplyDeleteBtw, you can find the photo of a Recon/Longshot barrel swap over at my Yellow Longshot review:
http://sgnerf.blogspot.com/2009/04/nerf-longshot-cs-6-yellow-review.html
ive heard a lot people say that when you put the recon barrel with the longshot, the longshot will shoot further. is that true?
ReplyDeleteWell, from my experience and along with the experiences of other local nerfers... we find that attaching a Recon barrel to a Longshot actually tends to decrease its firing distance slightly.
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure of how the other nerfers you mentioned managed to get further distance by attaching a Recon barrel, perhaps you could test it out yourself and see if it works for you. :)
Are you selling the blue longshot as second hand? I can't find any longshots, either blue or yellow.
DeleteAnonymous,
DeleteI don't have any Blue Longshots for sale 2nd hand, my sets are all collectors items now. :)
Longshots are generally sold out in most countries... though a number of countries may still have remaining limited stock of Yellow Longshots (ie. Singapore, UK, Australia etc), you'll have to shop around to find them.
Folks, seriously, don't attatch any sort of Nerf "barrel" to a Longshot. The bizarre faux-rifling completely messes up the airflow around the dart, causing it to fishtail. If you're not as worried about appearance, it's actually a good idea to saw off part of the front of the gun, but don't go past the bipod area or you will cut into the bolt mechanism, which is bad.
ReplyDeletehow much r they?
ReplyDeleteThe Longshot retails at SGD$79.90 in Singapore.
ReplyDeletewhich is better in your opinion, the raider, the longstrike or the longshot. the longstrike does not have a scope but instead, a flip up sight, is that the same as the recon's? because i have a recon and do not want to buy the same sight. i also want a scope , hence i would like to buy a longshot. is the scope accurate for the longshot or is it like the recon's laser light, which is utterly useless other than for show.
ReplyDeleteI don't know if you got a faulty laser or something but mine is very accurate (when placed under the barrel)
DeleteIf you are planning to keep the blaster in original stock condition, then all 3 are equally okay to get 'cos the stock performance are around the same, so it just depends on which design you like better.
ReplyDeleteIf you are going to modify the blaster for more range, then the Longshot will be the best choice as it has a larger direct spring plunger system (which offers much further range after modding), compared to the Longstrike, Raider and Recon's smaller reverse plunger system.
The Longstrike's flip sight works similiarly to the Recon's flip sight, but has a different design.
The scope on the Longshot is not a real scope, its just a hollow plastic tube, no magnification at all.
When I got my Recon stock (w/o barrel) it shot about 20-25 feet, and my Longshot stock (no second gun thingy) shoots about 35-40 feet.
ReplyDeleteMy (now) modded Recon shoots about the same as my stock Longshot, but with a higher velocity.
I don't have a Longstrike (as it isn't available in the USA yet), but when you say that the Recon, to Longshot and the Longstike all have approx. the same range, I think you are mistaken.
Well, my experience on stock blaster ranges are observed from having tested dozens of stock Longshots, Recons, Raiders and Longstrikes.
ReplyDeleteFor example, i have one Recon that could shoot to 30 ft, and another Recon only 20 feet... i've had Longshots which only fired to 25ft, and others which could reach 35 ft. These variations are likely due to to different batch manufacturing or individual unit QC variations.
Firing at different angle elevations makes a difference too, so there will also be variable results between users.
Therefore when i average it out, with 5-10 ft variations here and there, i'd just consider those stock blasters as having around similiar performance.
Of course, modded blaster ranges are a whole different story altogether, thats when the bigger and more significant differences in ranges come in. :)
where can i buy Longshot in metro singapore or toysrus singapore
ReplyDeleteTry OG, Longshots are reportedly currently still in stock at their store outlets. :)
ReplyDeletewhere can i buy longshot scope and how much is it in singapore or anyone is selling it
ReplyDeletekenny,
ReplyDeleteThe Longshot scope is only packaged with the Longshot set, it is not sold seperately.
If you are just looking for the scope, you can check the NerfSG forum:
http://www.nerfsg.com
Go to the trading section there, there are members buying and selling blaster attachments seperately.
Btw, just note that the Longshot scope is just a hollow plastic tube, its a prop piece and does not feature any magnification at all.
Thanks
Deletethanks for your help
ReplyDeletehey guys i have a yellow long shot it can not shoot 35 feet does yours kenny?
ReplyDeletei have not buy my longshot but still finding are you selling your longshot with all accessaries can call me at 91551455
ReplyDeletebut i have a long strike it shot about 40 to 50 feet
I've no spare Longshots for sale at the moment. Anyways, I recently spotted lots of Longshot boxes at OG Albert and OG Orchard Point. You can just get them from those places too.
ReplyDeleteare they still selling at toysrus tampines mall because it is near for me to buy
ReplyDeleteNo idea, for those places, i guess you just need to check with the staff there.
ReplyDeleteWhere can i order 1 i cant find any cause i live in australia
ReplyDeleteHoneySoyMilk69,
ReplyDeleteSince you are in Australia, check the OzNerf Forum:
http://oznerf.forumotion.com/
The aussie nerfers there have already spotted Longshots in stock at dept stores in Australia.
the scope is similar to an acog scope i think.
ReplyDeleteI want to buy a longshot.But i wanna ask something.Is longstrike better or is longshot better?And how much does a clip costs and with some streamline darts.I believe they sell those?The ones without flip thing.
ReplyDeleteCan you mod it so it can have a recon spring and a longshot spring inside? Because i don't know where to get other springs...
ReplyDeleteforkandtheroad,
ReplyDeleteYes, its possible to add a Recon spring into the Longshot plunger casing, but note that its shorter than the Longshot spring, so it'll tend to rattle around inside. Performance gains would also not be as significant compared to using stronger aftermarket springs.
Check around the hardware stores or spring manufacturing companies around your area, you should be able to find suitable aftermarket springs at those places.
youknowwho,
ReplyDeleteIf you are planning to keep the blaster in original stock condition, then the Longshot and Longstrike offer similiar restricted performance, so it just depends on which design you like better.
If you are going to modify the blaster for more range, then the Longshot will be the best choice as it has a larger direct spring plunger system (which offers much further range after modding), compared to the Longstrike's smaller reverse plunger system.
6-dart clips and streamline dart refills can be purchased in Mission Kit sets, check my "Singapore Nerf Stock List" for local avaliability and prices.
You could also find clips sold seperately on their own by sellers at the NerfSG forum trading section too.
SG Nerf,If you know,do you know where is the nearest spring hardware company around Pasir Ris?I want to mod my Longshot by only the spring.
ReplyDeleteyouknowwho,
ReplyDeleteSince you are also in Singapore, check the NerfSG forum, all the info on modification materials and shops (including aftermarket springs) are posted and discussed there. :)
is there a difference on the blue and yellow longshots? will it mean that i cant take out the air restrictors on my yellow nerf longshot? cause thats what it seems on my nite finder its yellow too,but i also have a older version of the nite finder i modded that one just fine.
ReplyDeletelori parkhurst,
ReplyDeleteBoth the Blue and Yellow Longshots are the same externally and internally. The only difference is the colour.
The same modifications can be done on both versions.
where in singapore did u buy tha' nerf longshot?
ReplyDeleteNerfMasterVim,
ReplyDeleteNerf Longshots were avaliable at most major dept stores in Singapore for quite a while.
But lately the stock avaliability for this particular model has been quite limited locally.
You'll just have to keep looking around the various stores to find them. Perhaps you could also ask the dept store staff which of their other branches may still have stock too.
but where particularly did you buy it? please tell me I really want to have it for my collection. my parent is going to Singapore for a golf tournament and I could also tell him to get me one but I need to know what stores they most likely have it.so please tell me where you particularly bought it. is a toy store or dept. store? what is the name of the store
ReplyDeletewhere do you find blue ones nowadays? I follow you....check out my blog also and see if you shall follow meh-here,go here-http://nerffanclub.blogspot.com/
ReplyDeleteNerfMasterVim,
ReplyDeleteBlue longshots are very rare nowadays as they have been superceded by the newer Yellow longshots in stores since last year.
For stores in Singapore, only the Yellow longshots are avaliable and those are also currently very limited in stock too.
If you are visiting Singapore and want to get Yellow Longshots, one of the local dept stores that reportedly still has stock of them is OG People's Park (Location info: http://www.og.com.sg/contactus.html).
I can't guarantee if there is still any stock left there by the time you are here, but that's probably the best place to find them.
thanks, but do you think airport securities will let my parent pass through the airport or prevent him because the longshot looks like a real gun.....
ReplyDeleteNerfMasterVim,
ReplyDeleteEvery country's airport customs rules is different, so its best to check with the customs dept in your country to check if such items are allowed onto flights.
No,I meant will singaporean airport securities let him pass?
ReplyDeletedo you mind if I use your longshot photos for my site? my site is-http://nerffanclub.blogspot.com/
ReplyDeleteNerfMasterVim,
ReplyDeleteI can't comment on the stance of airport customs towards nerf blasters, you'll need to check with them specifically on it.
In addition, different airlines also have different rules about the transport of items, so its best to check with them too.
NerfMasterVim,
ReplyDeleteIf you need to, you can reference some of the blaster photos from my blogs in your blog's posts, just make sure you credit the photos to my blog. :)
Hi, just curious, i just bought a blue longshot online recently. While the seller claimed that it is brand new, the item i recieved doesnt seem to be so. i noticed that there are quite a few scratches on the blasters. Is it a clear sign sign that it's a second hand item, or did yours came in similar condition as well?
ReplyDeleteEdwin,
ReplyDeleteWell, the majority of Longshots that i have in brand new condition don't have scratches on their casing.
Sometimes there can be a minor scratch or scuff mark, which could just be from the handling or packing of the blaster for shipping.
Otherwise, if you spot multiple visible scratches on the casing, then that blaster has probably been used or transported around before.
hey sg nerf i have a deploy (i live in canada)
ReplyDeleteMy longshot shreds my darts after being fired a few times.
ReplyDeleteWhy is this?
Edward,
ReplyDeleteYour longshot's dart chambering mechanism might not be working properly, open it up to check.
Do you know what store around the 94549 area that sells the longshot?
ReplyDeleteI went to 3~4 stores today and only found the suckish longstrike.
I just need to find out where i can get a longshot in my area.
iTowils,
ReplyDeleteNo idea on the stock availability of Longshots in the States, 'cos i'm situated in Singapore (as mentioned in the site title and description).
Longshots are now out-of-production, so your best bet is to try searching online or visit more stores around your area to hopefully find Longshots.
I have a Nerf Recon CS-6 Clear and I've used it only 4 times and it's jamed like crazy right in the barrel/loading area. I shot it one time and it shot out two darts, then shot again and shot out 1 about 40-45ft without mods
ReplyDeletewhat does the longshots scope look like?
ReplyDeletenerf team,
ReplyDeleteThe Longshot "scope" is basically a hollow plastic tube that is shaped like a scope.
It does not have any magnification or calibration capabilities.
is there blue longshots sold in malaysia?if there is how much is it
ReplyDeleteErickin,
ReplyDeleteNope... Blue Longshots are all sold out at both Singapore and Malaysia stores.
Hey dude,
ReplyDeleteI'm just a small kid and i bought my first nerf yesterday
the longstrike
i just finished psle and decided to start buying n-strikes to pass the time
my friends have the longshot, but when i went to toys'r us yesterday to buy it, the guy said that the whole of singapore does not have it and that it is replaced buy the longstrike
i ended up buying the longstrike but i am very disappointed as it sucks compared to the longstrike
i hope that if you find it you can inform me at dashhzzzz@gmail.com
thanks
i live in serangoon area
Longshots are now out-of-production, so either you order online from overseas (if the online sites still have stock) or buy from local Nerf enthusiasts who might still have spare sets to sell.
ReplyDeleteCheck at the NerfSG forum trading section:
www.nerfsg.com
should I buy a nerf longshot or a maverick? I won't be modefying much
ReplyDeleteHONG,
ReplyDeleteGet the Nerf Longshot, it's got better stock performance and much more options when it comes to increasing ammo capacity and adding attachments.
umm i wanted tto buy a longshot but it comes with a flip up sight and not a scope . Do you know why ? and where can i buy long shot with scope
ReplyDeletemaster,
ReplyDeleteWhat you saw was a Longstrike, not a Longshot.
Longshots have been sold out locally for a while. The only other ways to get them nowadays is to order from overseas or online stores (if they still have stock), via eBay, or from local Nerf enthusiasts at the NerfSG forum.
SG Nerf,
ReplyDeleteis there still any longshots
in SG? If so how much in SGD?
wafi,
ReplyDeleteLooks like they are all sold out in Singapore (they used to retail locally for SGD79.90).
As mentioned in my earlier comment, the only other avenues to get them nowadays is to order from overseas or online stores (if they still have stock), via eBay, or from local Nerf enthusiasts at the NerfSG forum.
Do those orange clip things in stores work with the Longshot or is that just for the stampede and long strike and stuff
ReplyDeleteIsaac,
ReplyDeleteOrange N-Strike clips work on all N-Strike clip-fed Nerf blasters, including the Longshot.
Hey SG Nrrf,
ReplyDeleteIt the longshot... The First Nerf blaster to feature the Clip System(CS)??
Nerf IsReallycool,
ReplyDeleteYes, it is the first blaster to use the N-Strike Clip System.
Thanks SG Nerf..
ReplyDelete:D
ooo... so sad I like the blue one more than the yellow one. Plus this is so unfair why does the yellow one only comes with 1 clip and 6 darts while the blue comes with 2 clips and 12 darts? They should be the same even though they are different colour! :(
ReplyDeleteHey SG Nerf..
ReplyDeleteMy friend asked... Is the Longshot available at Indonesia??
Nerf IsReallycool,
ReplyDeleteI've no idea of the Nerf stock availability in Indonesia, i guess your friend will just have to check at the dept stores there.
sgnerf how much are blue longshots in the philippines
DeleteHey SGNerf , I really want a longshot , (I live in queensland , Australia - In mackay , if you know where that is , Theres a lot of longshots in my store , A LOT , its just i havnt had a good look and im wondering if you think there would be any BLUE longshots in australia. The store i buy all my nerf guns from is Kmart , so do you think there would be a blue longshot in Australia (Kmart)? Also i have a Recon cs-6 and i need to know can you use the Recon's barrel for the Longshot? Thanks a lot :).
ReplyDeleteJayden,
ReplyDeleteYes, i guess the Nerf popularity in Oz is not as crazy as in SG, so you guys are lucky to currently still have Longshots available in ample numbers sitting on the shelves (over here, all of those boxes would have been snapped up within a matter of days, like when a limited shipment of Yellow Longshots appeared during December 2010 in SG, people were actually buying up multiple sets at one go!).
Anyways, Blue Longshots were replaced by the Yellow version. Since mid-2010, i've not seen anymore new Blue versions in stores and even online, so i guess it'll be very rare to find a new Blue Longshot in stores nowadays.
Thats why Blue Longshot can fetch a higher price at online auction sites now, they have become collectors items amongst Nerf enthusiasts. :)
Yes, the Recon front barrel attachment can be fitted to the Longshot too, you can read my review of the Yellow Longshot version here:
http://sgnerf.blogspot.com/2009/04/nerf-longshot-cs-6-yellow-review.html
Okay thanks a lot SGnerf , you helped me alot :D.
ReplyDeletecan u get me a longshot????
ReplyDeleteIs it true that a long shot can easily reach 50ft without the extension pistol?
ReplyDeletemegaNOOB,
ReplyDeleteFor most N-Strike blasters, their front barrel attachments tend to cause the foam darts to bump against the barrel walls, this reduces the velocity and decreases the range. The blasters will usually get better ranges without the barrel attachments.
The average stock range of Nerf Longshots is around 25-30ft when fired at a flat trajectory and parallel to the ground (the box states "shoots up to 35ft", note the "up to" words).
For a stock Longshot to achieve 50ft, it'll have to be fired at a high angle so the foam darts lob in a high trajectory (like a catapult shot)... but that's not a standard way to measure ranges amongst Nerf enthusiasts.
Of course, Longshots can be performance modified to achieve longer ranges (and much more). :)

Just asking can I get nerf longshot in Malaysia
ReplyDeletecyberfireblaze,
ReplyDeleteNot to sure about the Nerf stock availably in Malaysia, you'll have to check at the dept stores there to find them.
Where can I buy a NErf Longshot in Malaysia?? please reply ASAP..
ReplyDeleteA male #2,
ReplyDeleteAs i've mentioned in my previous comments, i've no idea of the Nerf stock availability in Malaysia... i'm in Singapore.
You'll have to do your own shopping there to find them.
Would a stampede 18 dart clip hit the surface (ground) when the longshot is stationed and relaxing on the ground and the 18 dart clip was in the clip feeding system? Would the longshot be wobbling because the 18 dart clip was too long and was taller than the bipod and stock? I have a stampede and want a longshot. Thanks.
ReplyDeletemegaNOOB,
ReplyDeleteThe 18-dart clip will definitely obstruct the usage of the Nerf Longshot with its bipod if you try to position it on a flat surface.
The bipod legs wouldn't even be able to touch the ground. :)
Although, you could put the legs on a narrow wall or something and be fine, cause the clip would still be in the air.
ReplyDeleteAlso, I have considered trying to mod the blaster and the darts to truly rifle. Everyone knows that if you spin a projectile along it's center of gravity that it is more accurate. Alas, since we aren't using gunpowder or sealed barrels, I doubt you could get more range or power out of it that way.
Still, accuracy is nothing to sneer at. Also, combine (in the longest barrel you can get) with some mods on the spring system and plunger and then get a REAL scope and you could have an actual Nerf Sniper Rifle!
I am looking for a nerf longshot but there is one huge problem... I live in a beautiful but remote disconnected-from-the-world island of Mauritius. Please help me. I have only got 2 nerf element ex 6 guns that I share with my sibling and we use it so much that we are bored silly by the fact that we can re ode that this faster than a recon. I mean, how can u get bored of that?? Still, I have always been that sniper guy in every game, so I would really appreciate it if u could find a spot to buy any nerf gun in Mauritius.

ReplyDeletestoptheworld,
ReplyDeleteIf you are in Singapore, the Yellow Nerf Longshot is currently in stock at local dept stores. Its a very limited re-stock though, so best to get while stocks last.
If you are overseas, then i guess you'd have not much choice but to order from online stores.
thanks for the help I will see what i can do to get a nerf long shot
ReplyDeletei bought a yellow longshot off trademe.co.nz (similar to ebay) but it came without a front gun handle and trigger is there any place where i could get one?
ReplyDeleteAlso im not sure if it affects you but when the stock is collapsed it hurts my wrist is there a way to drill a new hole for the stock to sit in giving it 3 settings instead of 2?
fooder331,
ReplyDeleteJust check the various Nerf forum trading sections to find sellers who have the front blaster unit available for sale.
So far, i find the existing shoulder stock at full extension to be just right for me. I don't use it collapsed.
I guess its possible to mod the shoulder stock to allow more extension settings, just cut and drill extra slots to customize it.
thanks ill have a look
ReplyDeletedo you recommend this or longstrike ?
ReplyDeletebryan,
ReplyDeleteI'd recommend the Longshot.
This is due to its modding potential... the Longshot uses a direct plunger system with a much larger air volume, compared to the small reverse plunger system in the Longstrike.
As a result, modded Longhots naturally have much greater performance and range compared to equivalently modded Longstrikes.
In addition, Longshots are no longer available in many countries already, and have become collectors items amongst Nerf enthusiasts. :)
then would you recommend the blue or yellow one ?
ReplyDeletebryan,
ReplyDeleteI'd recommend the blue version. It comes with 2 clips (instead of just 1 clip in the yellow version), its got a nice blue casing color (not all bright yellow)... and the blue version is very rare nowadays, highly sought after by Nerf collectors. :)
is it still available in sg takashimaya ? and is it heavy ?
ReplyDeletebryan,
ReplyDeleteNot too sure of the current stock availability there, you'll just have to visit the store to check it out.
The main blaster unit weighs around 1.1kg, the front pistol blaster weighs around 0.5kg. If both are combined, its approx 1.6kg in total.
Is the longshot still available in stores at this time? And what about 3 days later? I'm still on holiday
ReplyDeleteAnonymous,
DeleteWell, at this moment, remaining stocks of Yellow Longshots are currently still available at most major dept stores in Singapore (while stocks last). :)

dean,
DeleteI've traded away my scopes... but just for reference, they are basically hollow plastic tubes with transparent plastic inside that have a target reticule printed on (there is no magnification at all).
i got a Longshot, i took out the AR and now the darts curve so much, once i shot one through a 45 degree angle. is there any way to fix this?
ReplyDeleteAnonymous,
DeleteStreamline foam darts are already unbalanced and inaccurate when used in stock blasters... and they get even more inaccurate when used in modded blasters.
For consistency and accuracy in modded blasters, you have to use custom calibrated foam darts. Here are some guides to refer to:
http://modworks.blogspot.com/2010/08/custom-calibrated-foam-darts-conversion.html
http://modworks.blogspot.com/2010/10/custom-weighted-foam-dart-tip-seal.html
Why not try a nerd elite refil pack? There are soposed to be better balenced and give more range.(:
DeleteAnonymous,
DeleteYes, i've already tested Elite foam darts too. They are slightly more consistent and accurate than Streamlines... but they still swerve and curve in flight though (just less severe).
They still can't match properly custom calibrated foam darts in overall reliability and accuracy. :)
Hey SG nerf I live in England and Im going
ReplyDeleteTo get a longshot from toys R us (in blue hopefully)
And on the site it says 'colours and styles may vary
Does that mean I still might be able to get a blue
Longshot?
P.S please answer soon, big fan thnx
Anonymous,
DeleteBlue Longshots have been sold out everywhere for many years already... so when a site says "color and styles may vary", you'll most likely get a Yellow version. You can order and give it a try though, maybe you might be lucky. :)
Well I'll try my look then, if I get yellow,I get yellow but it's almost my birthday and Im going to at least try to get a blue version-I was going to pick one up instore anyway.PS thanks for all the questions you have answered this is my no:1 nerf blog!(:
DeleteAnonymous,
DeleteThanks for the nice feedback! :)
Assuming blue longshots are not bieng MADE anymore that would mean restock of the product in stores would be yellow?
DeleteAnonymous,
DeleteWell, so far the re-stocked Longshots over the past 2+ years in Singapore were only the yellow versions.
In uk?
DeleteI know you always say that nerf blasters have similier range+performance but what actually has the best stock range (even if it's only by a few feet:
DeleteLongshot cs6
Longstrike cs6
Maverick rev6
Recon cs6
Raider cs35
Anonymous,
DeleteFrom my experience testing dozens of stock unit of each blaster model, its difficult to confirm which has the "best" stock range... because even amongst individual units there are production variations, so each unit on its own exhibits slightly different ranges.
Their ranges are not consistent enough to be able to make a distinction.
For example, its possible to buy 2 Longstrikes from the same store shelf... and have one that can achieve 35ft, while the other unit gets only 20ft. It depends on your luck. :)
So we generally just say that they achieve average stock 25-30ft ranges.
Honestly, the difference of a few feet in stock blasters is so insignificant compared to the 100-150 ft long ranges in modded blasters.

I found one on ebay and amazon but they both cost more than $250.Do you now why?

DeleteThe blue versions are rare nowadays, hence the higher prices.
I found a air tech 2000 on amazon for $18.00.I think it is a good price for an air tech 2000,but do you think i should buy it.
ReplyDeleteAnonymous,
DeleteThats more expensive than its original retail price when it was released, but since its no longer in production, sellers naturally price them higher. If you feel that its an okay price, then just get it.
Overall, the Air Tech 2000 is quite a good blaster to add to any Nerf collection.
I've noticed that in ebay pictures, some longshots are darker or lighter blue. Is there two blue longshot versions?

DeleteNope, there is only one type of Blue Longshot... if you see color tone variations in photos, its mainly due to different camera settings or lighting conditions.
what is the difference bitween the blue and the yellow longshot ?
ReplyDeleteMourad BlaBla,
DeleteBoth the blue and yellow Longshots are the same mechanically, the main difference is just their color.
Note that the blue version is packaged with 2 clips, while the yellow version only comes with 1 clip.
Why I cannot buy this gun these days? Is there any new gun(sniper) or what?if there is new gun(sniper) can you tell me the names. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteAnonymous,
DeleteIt seems that the Longshot is currently out-of-production... although some remaining Yellow versions can still be found from a few sellers, the Blue versions have been all sold out for quite a long time already.
So far, Nerf has not released any new blaster that can match the Longshot in plunger size though (its large plunger volume is what allows the Longshot to achieve much longer ranges when modded).
Alternatively, you could check out the latest Nerf Elite Series blasters, like the Retaliator or Rampage. Those new models are designed to achieve improved ranges in stock condition so they could be a substitute (though their modded ranges are still limited by comparatively smaller plunger volumes).
i want to buy longshot from USA because my aunt and uncle live there.So which one can i trust to send to my aunt or my uncle house so that they can send to me.They live in california.Give me all the website.
ReplyDeleteAnonymous,
DeleteYou can try ToysRUs.com or Amazon.com, just do a search at those commercial sites.
Alternatively, you can also get from individual sellers on eBay.com, though its abit riskier.
can u give me more website?
DeleteAnonymous,
DeleteI guess you could also try other USA-based dept store websites like Walmart.com or Target.com... but i've not ordered from them before so you'll have to check and see.
I cannot find the guns in their website if my aunt go there personally and she would find one? I want blue one.
DeleteAnonymous,
DeleteLooks like Longshots are sold out at most places.
The blue versions have been sold out for quite a while, they are very rare nowadays (even more rare than yellow versions).
longshot or longstrike is better?i want ti buy one.Can't make up my mind......
ReplyDeleteAnonymous,
DeleteThe Longshot is better, it has a much larger plunger tube volume, thus achieving much longer ranges after modding. Thats why its such a popular blaster amongst modders and players.
The Longstrike is limited in modding potential by its inefficient reverse plunger system with small plunger volume.
Most people get the Longstrikes just based on its looks and design, but hardly use them in actual Nerf games because they simply cannot match up to the modded ranges of other blasters, so they mostly just end up being used for display or collection purposes. :)
ok thanks.
Deletesynes den er kul jeg har den hjemme
ReplyDeleteIs longshot very big and heavier then rampage?
ReplyDeleteAnonymous,
DeleteYes, the Longshot larger and heavier than the Rampage.
recon or longshot is better?
ReplyDeleteAnonymous,
DeleteLongshot is better, 'cos it uses a much larger direct plunger system, which allows for much longer ranges after modding.
In 2013 there is nerf elite longshot right?
ReplyDeleteAnonymous,
DeleteSo far, no news or announcements of any such blaster model.
So is any any new sniper in 2013???
DeleteChew hui feng,
DeleteIf you mean a blaster that "looks like a sniper rifle", then so far none yet... the ones announced or already released so far are all more compact rifle or pistol sized/shaped. :)
How do I check the new guns and what is it and when is releasing?if you have any website let me see.
DeleteChew hui feng,
DeleteYou can check the official Nerf website:
http://www.nerf.com
Though it's also good to check the various Nerf blogs and forums, usually they have the latest info posted up too.
Can you help me get one blue longshot? I will pay you can?please.....I really want one blue one because I don't have. Please...........
DeleteChew hui feng,
DeleteBlue Longshots are very rare nowadays and are highly sought after by collectors, you'll have to really search around to find sellers for them.
Check the NerfSG forum trading section, sometimes there are local sellers there, but note that prices of blue versions are usually much higher than the more common yellow versions.
Just order one for me please I really need it please please or make one more pls please
DeleteChewhuifeng,
DeleteIt's not like you can just order it anytime you want... the blue versions have already been sold out a long time ago. The only way to obtain them nowadays is to get from existing owners (if they are willing to sell).
Btw, if you are still not aware... this blog is NOT by Hasbro or Nerf, we are just a hobby enthusiast site.
Give me all the place that is still selling this gun in Malaysia, Singapore or USA. Give me the location
DeleteChewhuifeng,
DeleteI've no idea too... they seem to be sold out everywhere nowadays, you'll have to search around on your own to find them.
Btw, i do not appreciate people demanding information without doing their own research first. I will not answer anymore of your questions if you behave this way.
recon or longstrike is better?
Deletemay i know the locations where i can purchase yellow clips from in singapore or malaysia please
ReplyDeleteShane Lim,
DeleteYellow clips only came with Blue Longshot sets and the older generation clip refill kits, but those have all already been sold out a long time ago.
Nowadays, yellow clips are considered quite rare (usually only collectors look for them)... i guess you'll have to get them from existing owners.
may I know how i can get in touch with current owners?
Deleteis it possible the use the front part as a blaster on its own and if so how?
DeleteShane Lim,
DeleteYou can check the NerfSG forum trading buy/sell section to see if any local nerf enthusiasts have spares for sale... though it might take a while for yellow clips to pop up for sale 'cos they are very rare nowadays.
Alternatively, you could also check on eBay.com to find overseas sellers.
Shane Lim,
DeleteYes, the front blaster attachment unit is also a functional single-shot spring plunger blaster too.
is there a such thing as a red longshot because i see them on youtube but not on online stores?
ReplyDeleteAnonymous,
DeleteYes, the Red Longshot was a limited edition version called the "Crimson Strike" Series, it was exclusive to Walmart stores in the USA and only available for a short period of time back in 2010.
It's very rare and highly sought after by Nerf collectors.
i have done some research and found out that the longshot is not the only blaster under the crimson strike series can i please have a lis of all the blasters in this series please
DeleteTHANK YOU
Shane Lim,
DeleteThere was also the Vulcan and Recon in the Crimson Strike Series. Those were the only other 2 models in that series.
should i get one? if so, should i get blue, yellow, or red? wich comes with the most mags and ammo
ReplyDeleteAnonymous,
DeleteSure, Longshots are great blasters to use in games (when modded) and for collection.
Based on rarity, the Red version is your first choice (if you can actually find them), followed by Blue version (which is rare) and then the Yellow version (not as rare).
The Blue version comes with 2 clips, Yellow version comes with only 1 clip... not sure about the Red version, i guess you'll have to check around.
sgnerf where to get nerf longshot in singapore because i want it really much, if there's no in singapore maybe u know if there's in hongkong or macau?
DeleteNerf SWAT,
DeleteThey are now sold out locally, so you'll have to get them from overseas or order in from online sources.
No idea of the stock availability in the other countries you mentioned, i guess you'll just have to shop around to find them.
