The Return of The Nerf Longshot!

Mother of God...

Just when you thought Nerf couldn't be doing things more weird by relaunching the Nite Finder and the Maverick in recent times, I wouldn't be surprised if you just shit yourself looking at the title of this post. So yeah, apparently Hasbro decided to do a little more digging in their discontinued blaster bin and pull out probably the most demanded one in recent years, the Longshot. This resurrection of the fan favorite sniper rifle is running under the Zombiestrike line as the Longshot CS-12 hence the new 12 round clip included but it's also missing its front gun and strangely it's bipod. This won't be problem for people adding pump action grips but it's just weird having a big gaping hole in the front of the blaster, especially when you know what should be there. My guess is that Hasbro did it to reduce production costs and to put the new Longshot in a battle rifle configuration that won't directly compete with the Centurion(Probably because they think they can still sell that POS). My main concern is that I didn't see any 75-85 foot range claims on the box, which probably means that the internals are unchanged from before, which again is fine, but improved Longshot internals would be great. So yeah, I'm probably going to find myself buying out Target's stock when these hit and sell most of them on eBay. The question is, is there more coming? Will we see a Stampede or a Titan perhaps in the future? Keep the speculation coming people, this is going to be a good year.
