The Nerf Longstrike is one of the coolest toy guns around both for the young and the young at heart. It is one of the best Nerf guns ever created. Hasbro has sold more than millions of these by simply looking at its appearance.
It is the longest Nerf Blaster though it does not have the longest range of one. It is simply the longest with 3 feet long. It is a couple of inches longer than the Longshot. However the Longstrike is a little bit disappointing because it somehow resembles the sniper rifle. Hasbro has chosen the reverse plunger system as with the Raider and Deploy. They use it instead of a direct plunger system. Many of the shots will be on a range of 30 feet to 35 feet without its barrel attachment. It is not bad though but it is not also great. The barrel attachment seems to produce a negative impact on the gun's range.
This new interiorl of the gun with a reverse plunger system gives it a hard time to get the speed instead of using a direct plunger system. Because of it the gun does not give out much force and the darts don't go as far as what it could actually achieve with a direct plunger system.
The Longstrike doesn't have much difference with the Longshot when it comes to range. However the Longstrike is much lighter than the Longshot. It is also less bulky in appearance. Whatever you choose, you are sure to enjoy playing with these guns. The Longstrike is sturdier and it is also a good blaster.
Some features include in a Longstrike gun is that it is compatible with the parts interchangeable found in other models of the N-Strike guns. One of its great features is it can hold 2 clips in addition on its shoulder stock. This will enable a quick reload once you are in the heat of war.
In conclusion, the Longstrike is one of the greatest looking Nerf guns that have ever been made. However, it is not to be expected of a good performance. You can increase its range if you are going to make some modifications. But it may look crazy to make it look like a rifle but it shoots a little farther than out of the box Nite Finder. The Nerf Longstrike is a great gun for battle. It makes you feel the thrill of a real battle and is great for keeping the enemy at bay.
