It has better range, rate and maybe reliability. Though Longstrike can hold more clips, but the Longshot can be stored more easily as it's 2-in-1, while the Longstrike's just one big blaster with a barrel extension, not a front blaster. I would rather get the Longshot, if I can. Hopefully the old blue one By the way, are you two the only ones active on the forum? I haven't seen much of anything on the forum lately.
The Longshot shoots farther, but the Longstrike is accurate and looks cool, also the barrel is good for improving the accuracy of other blasters. I'm only putting more detail on the Longstrike because I own one, put I would have gotten a Longshot if I liked Nerf when it was out. The fact is, the Longshot has a much higher modding capability than the Longstrike does, and has a much higher value. The Longshot also comes with a second blaster to be detached and used at your own will.
As my Longshot had come from a thrift store, its range isn't spectacular, but it's certainly a better blaster than my Longstrike. They live in california. Give me all the website. Anonymous, You can try ToysRUs. Alternatively, you can also get from individual sellers on eBay. I cannot find the guns in their website if my aunt go there personally and she would find one? I want blue one. Anonymous, Looks 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.
Can't make up my mind Anonymous, The 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.
Anonymous, Longshot is better, 'cos it uses a much larger direct plunger system, which allows for much longer ranges after modding. Anonymous, So far, no news or announcements of any such blaster model. Chew hui feng, If you mean a blaster that "looks like a sniper rifle", then so far none yet How do I check the new guns and what is it and when is releasing? Can you help me get one blue longshot? I will pay you can? I really want one blue one because I don't have.
Chew hui feng, Blue 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.
Chewhuifeng, It's not like you can just order it anytime you want 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 Give me the location. Chewhuifeng, I've no idea too 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. Shane Lim, Yellow 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 Alternatively, you could also check on eBay. Shane Lim, Yes, the front blaster attachment unit is also a functional single-shot spring plunger blaster too.
Anonymous, Yes, 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 It's very rare and highly sought after by Nerf collectors.
Those were the only other 2 models in that series. Anonymous, Sure, 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 Nerf SWAT, They 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. Check out the Nerf Longshot CS-6! 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!

The Centurion on the other hand is simply designed to fling its Mega darts as far as safely possible for a stock blaster. Though I haven't actually used one as I never intend to get one , I have read many of the reviews on it and can thus give some pointers. On its good shots a Centurion does exceed the ranges of Elite blasters, however its accuracy and consistency are terribly lacking.
Though the darts do reach high ranges, they don't fly straight and often veer off far from the line of firing. Additionally, the Centurion is notorious for jamming, with its breech getting chipped away through by-the-manual use, and its darts being shredded upon jams, rendering them unusable.
There is also the problem of Mega clips not being sold separately, and Mega darts being ridiculously expensive. I haven't even gotten to its ridiculous size or huge prime, or its tendency to stop working if you're unlucky after just a few shots.
In all circumstances besides pure aesthetics, I'd say steer well away from the Centurion unless you are desparate for the lucky long shot, but if you're that keen on a sniper blaster then go ahead. Attachments for the Centurion, I'd probably have to recommend its included bipod to help stabilise that 1m long piece of junk, and besides that just a sight of your choice.
Remember that the sight is not for precision shots, but rather just to help you aim, as stock Nerf blasters are too weak to use sights effectively.
As for modded blasters, the best dart ones you could get that would fill the role of precision rifle are probably the Longshot and Retaliator again. The Longshot is pretty obvious, a huge direct plunger means huge power with a good upgrade spring.
Obviously the prime will be made harder, so you have to reinforce the boltsled if you're going to upgrade the spring. Additionally more power will make darts fly out more erratically. Thus to compensate you'll probably want to use a long barrel to make the darts more stable.
It'll cut down severely on power but at least you might be able to hit people. Therefore you'll want to use something like the Longshot Front Gun for a barrel, or possibly something even longer if you find darts are still behaving erratically. For a longer barrel you'll have to make your own from PVC or whatever wide pipe is available. Get the right combination of a powerful spring and a long enough barrel though and you could start firing out Elite darts reasonably accurately.
The fact though is that stock Nerf darts are inherently inaccurate so you'll never get perfect accuracy. If you want sheer firepower, the Longshot is definitely the way to go. If you're willing to have powerful, compact firing at the cost of an even harder prime, the Retaliator is a suitable option.
With the correct barrel and the right spring, the Retaliator can fire Elite darts at quite a reasonable range with surprising accuracy. Compared to the Longshot the Retaliator must use a more powerful spring to achieve the same range, but it's a lot smaller and lighter, which can be a huge advantage in HvZ.
Since I personally don't consider the Retaliator to really be a precision rifle type blaster, I'd go for a Longshot if clip system is your thing. If you're more open to other options besides clip system blasters, there are a few high power blasters that would work as precision blasters, even with stock darts. Nitefinders, Firestrikes and other single shots with reasonably sized direct plungers can fire Suction darts and Whistlers a good distance with surprising accuracy, with a rebarrel and spring upgrade.
Of course, they're not capable of firing multiple shots quickly as they're single shots, but they have accuracy superior to that of Elite dart firing clip system blasters, and can have great ranges. There are a number of other powerful blasters out there that would work the same way as these single shots, each with their own strengths and weaknesses. So in summary, if you're willing to risk the inaccuracy of Elite darts then the Longshot or Retaliator will probably best suit your needs.
The Longstrike doesn't have anywhere near the same power as the Longshot or any of the Elites because it uses the N-Strike reverse plunger. It only has the looks, so if you're really intent on using the Longstrike, you'll have to replace its internals with something with more power, like Elite direct plungers. If accuracy is an absolute must, then something like a Nitefinder, Firestrike, Lanard Tripleshot converted into a Quadshot will be your best bet, as they can use Whistlers, Suctions and Dart Taggers which are far more accurate than the horrid Elite and Streamline darts.
Though they don't have the rapid fire and fast reload ability of clip system blasters, they have the accuracy you're looking for. Alright, sounds good. Instead, it's something called Dystopia Rising. Modded darts are fine, so long as they're still made of soft materials. Accuracy is the most important consideration, followed by range it does need to have a longer range than the average blaster. With that clarification included, would your advice change?
Not really. All modded darts do is improve the accuracy of all blasters, while the range changes depending on the power of the blaster and the make of the darts. Nevertheless, all the blasters I mentioned earlier will still be able to achieve above averange range, depending on what the average range is and how crazy the participants are. My blaster recommendations don't change, since they are all capable of a good mix of accuracy and range, but the darts you use will entirely depend on what blaster you decide to use.
It's more important that you are comfortable with the blaster you are using, not you like a certain type of ammo. Not sure if I should just take a low offer or stick it out as it could be a collectable?
