Nerf Longshot September 18, 2008
Great toy. Bought this and the Recon, and I prefer this one for a mid-size rifle. Stock is two position, but can cramp larger hands in the collapsed position. I was surprised by the breach cover that opens when in "bolt" is in the rearward position. Really cool and necessary if you get a jam. Scope is useless as expected. Comes with two mags, which is nice. Haven't had trouble with it yet, and is a very nice looking toy. Shoots well stock, and is a little tricky to mod if you want a little more out of it. The front gun is unnecessary and slightly ridiculous when attached, but is a nice addition if you want a pistol to loan out to someone. A little more expensive than the Recon, but I recommend this one over it by far.

Excellent toy, doesn't jam, perfect shots.
A little heavey for a 9 year old if fully assembled, but can be used as two weapons instead of one.

It all adds up August 22, 2008
I'm 10 and I am giving you some reasons why I rate this 5 stars.
---------------------------------------------------------
1. The adjustable stock: this is a great accessory for the Nerf LongShot but it needs a better lock. +3 stars
2. the scope STINKS, is just a hollow tube and is just dead weight. -1 star
3. Gets great range!!!! +3 stars
4. Cocking action ROCKS!!!! +3 stars
5. Jams occasionally but is easily fixed. -1 star
6. The pistol extension decreases range and fires poorly. -2 stars
----------------------------------------------------------
TOTAL: 5 STARS
Thanks for reading!

This is a great gun overall, but the extension is very bad, and the scope doesn't work. Putting on the extension might make the accuracy better, but not the range. If you want more range, take it off. Also, people say this gun jams a lot, but if you load it all the way, and hear the click all the time, it won't jam as much.
A lot of fun for kids and adults alike! August 10, 2008
What can I say? This gun represents Nerf's new N-Force product line as their flagship weapon. And the way this gun performs is great for the young, and the young at heart alike. The gun is split into two main sections, the long rifle part, and the shorter front attachment that can also function as a single-shot blaster. As far as the main gun is concerned, it functions much like an old bolt action rifle, with a six-dart magazine (which is quite cool, and it comes with two), and a bright orange handle on each side (works for lefties, as well) that loads the dart from the magazine and readies the weapon for firing. The one disadvantage of this is that it's awkward to aim the weapon and get your next shot ready, since the handle is so far back. This makes your firing speed a bit slower than one might hope, as those less strong (like kids) will have trouble priming it without bringing the gun down from firing position. It also has a "tactical rail mount" on top, (and a little optical sight made to look like a scope) which is just a bit wider than a picatinny rail (for those of you into guns), and with a bit of work (filing, cutting), can fit attachments (sights, etc.) designed for airsoft or other weapons. The back stock can be compressed to make the gun slightly smaller, and a collapsible bipod is permanently attached to the front. the handle on the gun is small (good for kids and those with small hands) but will also fit those with medium/larger sized hands (although not entirely comfortably)
Attaching the secondary blaster to the front of the gun doesn't improve range or accuracy, and makes the gun fairly long and unwieldy. (That "over 3-ft long!" selling point actually becomes a negative here.) If the secondary attachment is put on slightly at an angle or not locked in all the way (which is VERY easy to do) the darts can rub against the side of the barrel on the attachment and actually slow down, only firing about half as far as normal. It also makes the gun much heavier and front-heavy, and kids might have trouble using the gun this way (or at least, they'll smack it into every wall when they turn around) I usually leave this off, and just have it as a secondary single-shot gun.
Overall, firing distances were comparable to other nerf guns, with ranges (5 ft. above floor, straight ahead, no wind) ranging from 25-35 feet. With a bit of practice, and arcing your shot (firing slightly upwards), you can be at least somewhat accurate at ranges beyond that. And if you miss, that's what your other 11 darts are for, right?
Remember, be sure to always teach your kids proper gun safety, even with nerf guns! At close range, you could seriously injure someone if a dart hits their eye. My "testing group" (my little nephews and nieces) had a blast with this gun, along with my other nerf weaponry, and I definitely recommend this gun to anyone looking to step up their nerf weapons, and give their kids (or themselves!) and advantage over the neighbors/roomates!
