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.

Super Soaker CPS 2000 MK2 Review

When a fire hose passes as a safe toy for children.

You're in the middle of a water war, the sun is beating down and you're owning. You have already soaked out several players and your Shot Blast is still fairly full of water. All of a sudden, you become confronted by another player. You would have fired at him, but you catch sight of his gun and freeze. You start to tremble and a grin comes across the other player's face as he pulls the trigger. A wall of water slams into you and drowns out your screams for assistance, but there's nothing you can do. You come to your senses, eliminated, and a little dazed. This is the feeling you get when you are pummeled by the most powerful water gun in existence, ladies and gentlemen, may I present to you the Super Soaker CPS 2000.

Larami SuperMAXX 1000 Review (8/10)

This isn't your grandpa's revolver... well actually it might be.

Feast your eyes on this magnificence! This weapon of plastic and foam! There are many like it but this one is mine! Well actually, I lied, there aren't that many, especially nowadays. The majority of SuperMAXX 1000s are probably crammed 50 feet below the ground in a landfill or in granny's attic basking in the spiderwebs. This one however was a lucky find for me on eBay and I snatched this relic up to add to my SuperMAXX collection, and wow, does this blaster from 1994 deliver.

The Most Inaccurately Depicted Weapons In Gaming

Your army does not use most of these the way you think they do.

Over the past few generations of gaming, firearms have dominated platforms. I mean really, whats not to like about virtually filling a virtual person up with virtual lead from your virtual weapon right? Well, in my effort to cater to the more historically accurate side of gaming, I did a little(hence "a little". I'm no bloody firearms expert) research on some of my favorite weapons only to find out how inaccurately depicted most of them were. Here's some the offenders.

Nerf Crossbow Review (5/10)

That odd feeling you get when you know you've made it.

This has got to be my biggest moment since I first got my SuperMAXX 5000 back in January and its really hard to believe I got what some consider to be the holy grail of Nerf blasters. Bask yourself in it's aura, take in every sight of it's dark purple facade. What you are seeing ladies and gentleman is the legendary Crossbow, and by modern standards it actually kind of blows.

Nerf FastBlast Review (3)

Speed kills.

Wow, it's been while since I last reviewed something. I bought a huge lot of ammo recently and I got three blasters in the deal and this was one of them. The FastBlast was gun I've seen very little of and I was curious about it. I figured it was just the same ol' pull push revolver blaster I've seen versions of many times in the past; boy was I wrong. The FastBlast was what I expected, just different. See more of this blaster after the jump.

Orange Nite Finder?

My only question, why? Seriously, why re-release a blaster so outdated and not to mention already directly succeeded by the Firestrike? I really don't understand Nerf's logic in repainting the Nite Finder again and tossing it back onto the shelves, plus the paint scheme just looks plain gross. Like dollar store toy aisle gross. Well, whatever, it's out there and apparently a white Maverick is too. Still scratching my head as to why this is even a thing but lets hope it's dirt cheap... probably won't be.
