Complete Online Ideas on Nerf Gun

I literally just got this gun in the mail from Amazon.com. I have to admit, my first impressions are not good. First of all, the point of interest with the Deploy is it’s ability to fold up and supposedly look inconspicuous…or at least that’s what I assumed Nerf was aiming for. I guess if someone is new to Nerf and sees you walking up with the Deploy they’ll think…”Hey, nice flashlight, where did you…Holy Crap, it’s a Nerf gun!!!” Seriously, the only thing it can do folded up is act as a flashlight. Yea…a flashlight.

As you can tell I’m not a big fan of the Deploy’s gimmick. Not only for logistic reasons however. When the Deploy is in gun mode it feels very flimsy. This is especially so for the grip which actually moves back and forth slightly. My other complaint about the grip is that it’s pretty short…or my hands have just grown over night.

The Deploy has a sight built in, which is neat…but with most Nerf guns it’s essentially pointless. It also makes me wonder why they built a tactical rail on top. Nerf has yet to come out with any real quality attachments other than the scope and flashlight…and since the Deploy has both built in I guess the tactical rail will remain empty for now.

Don’t get me wrong, this gun still has some positive aspects. For one, it’s firing capablities. It’s distance and speed are identical to that of the Raider. Since the Raider is one of my all time favorite Nerf guns, I’m happy about this. I also enjoyed the shotgun style pump it works well and doesn’t stick like I thought it might.

Overall the gun is very light and well balanced. It’s not side heavy like the Raider and not front heavy like the Recon (when it has the barrel extension on.) It feels good using it one handed (even though the grip is more wobbly than I would have hoped for). One last little positive thing is that the Raider barrel looks great on this gun. I know that’s not a huge deal, but that barrel really doesn’t look good on any other Nerf weapon.

Obviously, any die-hard Nerf fan (like myself) is going to purchase this gun no matter what anyone says about it. If you’re new to Nerf, I wouldn’t suggest starting out with this weapon (especially since it doesn’t come with any bullets…really Nerf? come on!) No matter which side of the spectrum you fall on, I still think this gun deserves a spot in your arsenal. It’s not the most impressive thing I’ve seen Nerf deliver, but it’s also not the worst.

Ok, I was so happy to see this at my local toy shop since I thought it would not be out until April. This is a fun novelty blaster that Nerf used to make in a large variety. I love the N-Strike line, but like many have gotten a bit bored with the repackaging of the same systems. So here is how the Deploy CS-6 is different, it transforms! Yeah, a flashlight into a blaster seems lame when you think about the light only needing 3 AAA batteries to work, but I still remember the sonic ray gun I had that folded into a radio when I was younger and I loved playing with it!

The stats:
-The plunger is identical to the Recon (which seems to be Nerf’s fav since you see it on the Longstrike and Raider), so the power is that of a light blaster. Think Recon range with no barrel extension.
-The size is nice and compact when folded and expands an extra 4″-5″ when ‘deployed.’
-It comes with a carry strap! Finally all the other blasters have the place for clipping a strap this one actually comes with one.
-N-Strike accessories that can work with the tactical rail and it has a fitting for the barrel extensions from the Recon, Longstrike, and Longshot.
-Pump-action, which is always nice, but the collapsing handle (which has a good additional support) feels flimsy (which I expected since it is collapsible and made of plastic).
-It is a CS (clip-system) so you can buy extra clips and use the Drum-clip (the last seems a bit awkward with the size and weight).

I bought this blaster because of the uniqueness it has and how much fun I had when I was a kid using a transforming blaster and my imagination. I think my son will get a kick out of it also.

Fun Toy. My 11 year old son salivated over this toy for months before he got it, and loves it now. Nerf never disappoints. This toy is no exception.

I think that this gun is good overall. here are my pros and cons. pros: the drum’s ammo 35 bullets.
the two mode shooting. (slam and single shot)
you can have quick shot clips in it.
cons:prone to jamming
it’s not really rapid fire (you have to hold the trigger and then slam the pump back and fourth)

I bought this after i bought the nerf vulcan. The rapid fire option worked great, because it gets a little unwieldy to pull the lever to reload while holding the heavy gun with the other. My son said it was a lot harder to reload because you had to take the belt out and put the 25 darts in. So i bought this so he had two belts to reload with. He loves having nerf wars with the kids around the neighborhood.
