Nerf Whiteout Series Longstrike CS-6 - Review!

Go "arctic" warfare with the Nerf Whiteout Series Longstrike!

The Whiteout Series Longstrike also has the same design and mechanisms as the Blue Nerf Longstrike version, the main difference is its new white colored casing with series graphics and detailing.

Imho, this white color scheme looks really good on the Longstrike!

Available at most major dept stores in Singapore.
Retail Price: SGD$79.90.

  3. drool... where the heck did this come from, none of the other sites have these and you just pop them up out of nowhere, i guess we now know when the epic maverick pocket found months ago will come and that it is indeed real, and finally they recolored the LSK not the recon, it is such a BEAST, i am so getting this.

  9. harpuia,

    My favorite Nerf blaster is currently still the Stampede (because it suits my gameplay style perfectly)... but for display purposes, i personally think the Whiteout Longstrike has the coolest look so far. :)

    ReplyDelete
  10. If only Stampede had a Whiteout version...
    IT WILL TOTALLY OWN NOOBS!!!

  16. Wish they improved on it by making the stock removable and change the plunger to a straight, instead of a reverse. I would have bought it again if they did it!

  17. i just got the blue version. i should of waited for this to come out

    ReplyDelete
  18. After seeing these pics I have taken some white, orange, and metallic blue spray paint to my Stampede bi-pod. and I will be getting a Shot Blast scope to top it off. The final product will probably end up on display in my room so I can geek out over it every morning.

    ReplyDelete
  19. SG, you should take a picture of the ACOG scope from the white/black shotblast on the whiteout LSK.

    ReplyDelete
  20. this is awesome!!! I am going to get this and the whiteout series maverick with the stampede. I wish the stampede was in the whiteout series too it is my favourite nerf blaster

    ReplyDelete
  21. which of the tactical vest or bandolier kit can hold the longstrike?

    ReplyDelete
  22. stampede ECS,

    Only the Nerf bandolier strap can clip onto the Longstrike like a rifle sling.

    ReplyDelete
  23. I Just spotted a white out deploy on nerf wiki

    I've no idea of the Nerf stock availability in Australia, perhaps you could just check directly with the dept stores around your area.

  30. Interested to see what the blast shield from the super soaker hydro canon would look like on this guy.

    ReplyDelete
  31. Why do we heed to put the reloder thing ourself in the longstrike?

    ReplyDelete
  32. nerf lover,

    I guess it's to reduce the size of the box, helps to minimize shipping costs.

    ReplyDelete
  33. How can I enter the nerf tournament?

    ReplyDelete
  34. nerf lover,

    Well, when the official Nerf tournament is announced on websites and newspapers, then you sign up for it... though the 2011 tournament was just held in June, so i guess you'll have to wait next year and join the 2012 tournament.

    If you're keen, you could also join the weekly Nerf games organized at the NerfSG forum (www.nerfsg.com), just check the "Nerf Wars/Upcoming Games" section for more details.

  39. When will the white deploy be released?

    ReplyDelete
  40. John,

    From what i've seen online, the Whiteout Deploy is available at Walmart stores in the States.

    No idea if it would be available in Singapore though.

    ReplyDelete
  41. Jerm mentioned that some of the whiteout blasters performed better. Is this true for the longstrike even with the same internals?

    ReplyDelete
  42. longshot1012,

    Well, i have tested multiple units of each Whiteout Series blaster model (i never base my tests on just one of each) and it still depends on the individual units. If you happen to get a unit that performs well, it doesn't mean all are the same.

    Some do have slightly better performance out of the box... though i have also encountered some not-so-good "lemons" too (even amongst the same models).

    The difference in range performance is just +/- a few ft anyways, the usual manufacturing variations in production batches.

    I guess as with all Nerf blasters, it still depends on your luck. :)

    ReplyDelete
  43. Sgnerf where did you get your long strike whiteout

    ReplyDelete
  44. Yo-Masters,

    From dept stores in Singapore.

    ReplyDelete
  45. Sgnerf can you tell me which department store you got it from bcoz I couldn't find any thanks

    ReplyDelete
  46. Sgnerf for the raider, is it possible to remove the lock? Or will it stop working?
    For the vortex guns does it hurt when someone shoots you at close range thks.

    ReplyDelete
  47. Yo-Masters,

    Just visit the dept stores to check, i don't have the specific inventory lists of Nerf blasters in every dept store.

    As for the Raider, you can remove the bolt and trigger locks and it should still work.

    The Vortex blasters impact is similar to N-Strike blasters at close range.

    ReplyDelete
  48. Sg nerf, which do you prefer, n-strike, vortex, or dart tag? also which is your favourite gun?

    ReplyDelete
  49. Sgnerf, how did you get the speed swarm? Also, which do you prefer? praxis or vigilon?

    ReplyDelete
  50. Sg nerf, what is your favourite gun, praxys,recon,longstrike whiteout,whiteout spectre?Thanks:)

    ReplyDelete
  51. Yo-Masters,

    I prefer the Nerf N-Strike range, i'm more keen on the foam dart blaster aspect of Nerf.

    My favorite blaster nowadays is the Nerf Air Tech 3000 (aka AT3K), i use a modded one in most Nerf games now.

    I got my Speedswarm from an overseas seller.

    Praxis or Vigilon? I'd go for the Praxis.

    ReplyDelete
  52. Sgnerf, sorry to keep asking, but who are you?

  53. Yo-Masters,

    ReplyDelete
  56. Sgnerf, when I put a dart in the hornet, it just keeps popping out. Same with the longshot barrel extension. It bcoz of the air restrictor? Thanks.

    ReplyDelete
  57. Is the nerf spectre whiteout real or just a hoax, if it's real can you recommend any stores that have them?

    ReplyDelete
  58. Yo-Masters,

    I'm not a shop and i don't sell modding equipment.

    Please don't post non-Nerf related stuff here.

    If the foam darts pop out on their own easily when you load them into barrels, it probably means the foam darts have become too loose and are getting pushed out by the spring in the AR parts. Use better foam darts that fit properly.

    I've not seen the Nerf Spectre in Whiteout variant in any stores so far.

    ReplyDelete
  59. Sorry about your inconvenience. :p

    ReplyDelete
  60. Yo-Masters,

    Air restrictors (AR) are designed to stop air from exiting the bolt when there are no foam darts in it. A pocket of blocked air will form inside the bolt when the AR is closed so the plunger impact will be cushioned (without that pocket of blocked air, the repeated impacts will damage the plunger). Only when a foam dart is loaded then the AR will open to allow air through.

    ReplyDelete
  61. Sgnerf, can
    You recommend any good stores to buy whiteout long strikes or deploys, because I looked at all the toys r us stores but couldn't find them. Thanks.

    ReplyDelete
  62. Yo-Masters,

    Try Toys R Us at Forum Mall or at Paragon, i spotted Whiteout Longstrikes still available at those places just a week ago.

    Btw, do shop around to find blasters, sometimes you'll just have to check at more stores to find them.

    ReplyDelete

    That is the sliding switch for clearing disc jams.

    ReplyDelete
  67. sgnerf, my hornet keeps leaking air, and all the new darts which fit stiffly in my other blasters just keep popping out. as for the hornet, if i cover all the tubes and just pump when i release , all air rushes out, if i pump the gun and after that slide the cocking handle by 1cm, rhe indicaror goes all the way forward and air rushes out again. as for the titan, it is leaking. why is that?

    and also, do you hate buzzbee, lanard, and oter rip off brands of nerf?



    Thanks. : )

    ReplyDelete
  68. which office do you work in? and jow large is it to play nerf games?

    ReplyDelete
  69. Yo-Masters,

    Looks like you obviously have a faulty Hornet and Titan unit, either you open them up to try to fix their leaks... or just toss them out and buy new working sets, save all the hassle.

    The 3rd-party blaster brands all have their fair share of crappy blasters too (like Nerf), but there are a number of blasters which are actually better then Nerf blasters due to their modding potential.

    For example, the Buzz Bee Big Blast, Lanard Tripleshot/Quadshot, ERTL Pump Action Shotgun, ERTL Rapid Fire Shotgun etc.

    In stock condition they are nothing special, but once they are modded, they regularly outperform similarly modded Nerf blasters in Nerf games.

    If you attend Nerf games, especially those with experienced players attending, you'll notice that there can often be more players using modded 3rd-party brand blasters than players using Nerf brand blasters. :)

    ReplyDelete
  74. YM,

    Well, i've tested multiple sets of the Whiteout Series blasters and they also vary in performance amongst individual units (like the other series models), so i guess it just depends on production batch... and luck. :)

  75. I was wondering where you can get the Nerf Longstrike CS-6 in Singapore. Earlier I went to Paragon ToysRUs and they did not have it! This weekend I am going to Harbourfront's ToysRUs, do you think they will have it there? Please tell me where I can get this gun in Singapore? Please also tell me the location not just the store name.

  76. NickCook619,

    Try Toys R Us Forum Mall, i was there just a few days back and saw stock still available.

    You can also find them at other major dept stores too (ie. OG, Metro etc), just shop around to find them.

  81. hey sgnerf! if remove the air restrictor in a nerf gun, and put the plunger padding,like u did, will the pluger tube be damaged when dry firing ?

    ReplyDelete
  82. rubesh's nerf,

    The plunger padding only helps to cushion the impact force in the plunger (it does not totally eliminate the impact stress), there is still much higher impact than if the AR was intact, so its always best to avoid dry firing if possible.

    ReplyDelete
  83. Excuse me SgNerf,But is the whiteout longstrike still available

    ReplyDelete
  84. Leonard Sim,

    Yes, they can currently still be found at major dept stores in Singapore, but stock availability can vary between individual stores, so you'll just have to shop around to find them.

    ReplyDelete
  85. airsoft sucks,

    For Nerf games, get the Raider 'cos it has the slam-fire feature, pump action fore grip design and comes with a 35-dart drum magazine... much more effective for actual gameplay.

    But if just used purely for display, then get the Longstrike. Most people buy Longstrikes mainly for its design. :)

      From my experience, they have similiar range and performance as the normal versions.

      Any range differences is usually just due to production variations between individual units.

      The Longstrike seems to be out of production for a while already, so i guess you'll have to buy it from online sellers who still have stock, or 2nd hand from other existing owners who are willing to sell them.

      Just check on sites like eBay or the various local Nerf groups.
