   the best gun to mod is a longshot the worst is the recon because if you cock the gun to fast it can cut your bullets in half

   Well my recon jams more than my raider, and that’s a hard record to beat. Me? I would think out of my nerf guns i would choose my raider, or switch shot. both are excellent, my raider for ammo capacity and rate of fire, but falls short in reload time and accuracy. The Switch Shot for it’s range,power,and accuracy.

    Does the raider break down as small as the recon? Can it be toted around as easily in a backpack or bag? NO. The Raider is a great nerf gun, but the Recon is much more versatile. You could slap the Raider’s drum clip onto the Recon and have a small, compact pistol, OR larger rifle – both versions with WHOPPING clips.

    All good guns,
    But I say longshot. My modded longshot+a couple clips+me= sniper havoc. Of all the people I know, I have the best aim, so a sniper is my gun and
    My longshot is my pride and joy. Seriously though, I am king with that thing

28. Rascal:

    Commented on December 1st, 2010 at 1:17 am.

    Dude, the recon sucks, terrible range, accuracy, jams, and you need to buy a bunch of separate things. personally, im not a fan of the raider. But the longshot is supposed to be a sniper rifle so, of course its kind of large but the extra clip that you can stow wont have the ammo falling out aaand the longshot comes with an attatched bipod. Also, it would take to long to load another clip just for another shot. The stampede is cool, but most people are way to trigger happy. the Alpha trooper, i havent tried it out so i dont know what to say there. Im a fan of side arms so i kind of like any pistol that is like the maverick or night finder but not the recon. Its just my opinion, so if you have something to say then go ahead.
29. Rascal:

    Commented on December 1st, 2010 at 1:20 am.

    what i mean about the one shot is the extra shot in the recons handle
30. Kied:

    Commented on December 13th, 2010 at 10:57 pm.

    i really think that the longstrike is better than the recon since it has a ton of ammo storage and is acurate. With the AR mod and a better spring, I’ve gotten 50 feet shots.

    Commented on December 17th, 2010 at 12:38 am.

    The recon is miserable. It jams every 2 darts it fires(shreds), and the quality of the gun drops with age. Great idea, it looks epic, but horrible execution. I prefer the fast, reliable vulcan(B.T.W., if you think the vulcan sucks, use the ammo box that comes with it).

    Commented on June 5th, 2011 at 7:42 pm.

    i personally like the recon but i also think that the raider and longstrike are also great. but i like the recon because of its ability to be taken apart and put together as a shotgun, sniper, pistol, rifle, SMG. its just my liking of the weight and the range isnt all that bad but to make it effective you need to put a stampedes 18 dart clip,take off the barrel, make a sight, and some kind of stock= pewnage firepower

    Wow! They can shoot max 65 feet? You guys need to find airsoft guns… The bad pistols can shoot at 200 feet per second. Which means its total range is 400 feet. More than 6 times longer range. If u want to get snipers, theyre around 700 fps and they come with real scopes that zoom. And they only cost around 100 bucks! So there. Airsoft guns kick raw butt!

    Commented on June 15th, 2011 at 1:08 pm.

    I personally think that me, my moded raider and my moded mav kick butt. I win every battle with my friends. I made my raider go semi automatic plus hold 50 darts, and it never jammed so far and I had it for 3 years. I made my mav able to hold 50 darts with my moded raider drum clip and take out the reloading thing so u can go berserk and never have to reload, expect when I used all my darts. And btw I’m not gonna tell anyone how to do it, only my friends, cause it’s a secret.

    Commented on June 16th, 2011 at 5:44 pm.

    Cool man.. But i seriously think ur lying because its hard to pull the slide back. The maverick has a moving barrel and so to pull the trigger back would cause strain as your trigger finger would have to move the barrel, pull the slide, pull the spring, then release it. It alarms me how a kid could complete such a mod while using a powerful spring… However, post a vid. I wanna see how u turn a 25 capacity drum into a 50 capacity one.. And then stick it into a MAVERICK?! And then shoot it in semiauto mode…

    Commented on July 25th, 2011 at 5:47 am.

    I have the Recon, Maverick and the wii remote blaster and I think the recon it best, it’s sturdy enough, quick cocking action and has a good range of fire. The maverick is extremely sturdy, I literally beat one to death with a hammer and it was a tough nut to break but takes ages to reload. And the wii one has a extremely long range for some obscure reason but is not sturdy.

    Commented on July 28th, 2011 at 11:56 am.

    i think that no one else has said this but i like the deploy best, (not just for the flip out thing) it is compact, easy to carry in a pack or by hand with the handle, can get 30-35 foot shots with no mods, and comes with a flashlight built in for night battles (which i mostly do) only problem with the deploy is there’s only one rail and it’s on top of the carrying handle / sight.
    i’ve fired all the clip guns except longshot, and i’ve fired maverick, nite finder, rev-10, vulcan, hornet, and magstrike, and the deploy tops all.
    deploy with my bandolier (6 spare mags and 24 individual darts) with my maverick and sword are unbeatable

    The longshot is the best nerf gun.It is just as fast as the recon.It can hold more darts than the recon with the barrel included-14 darts in total.The longshot if modded can gomore than 100ft!It has to be one of the easiest to mod.It has to be one of the most accurate guns.If you think it is heavy you can simply take off the barrel attachment.Also it has a scope, an adjustable stock and has two guns in one! Does the Recon have any of those? The longshot is the best of the best!

    I have a bunch of nerf stuff and have been buying and testing/traing for years and the vulcan is one of my favs. But, the only reason for that is that it looks cool. I have tried the stampede and its pretty cool too but I “like” the recon because of all the attachment options but you lose darts too fast because they “rip” and you have to buy more. In all, my favorite is the Longstrike with the Longshot scope, the recon tac. light under the barrel, and the “dual mag” or in other words, the flip mag attached.

    You guys must be crappy modders..the Recon is probably one of the lamest gun in Nerf history, along with the Maverick. The Longshot easily beats the hell out of the Recon when modded. Even the Raider beats the Recon. I’ve modded mine and I can get 60′ consistently. It’s not accurate, you say? I can shoot another nerf dart 9 out of 10 times. It’s you that’s not accurate.

    Longshot gets 100 ft easy with an angel breech. Recon can get around 80 with a massacre kit, which is super expensive. Longshot has a much easier prime than the recon, even with a stronger spring. For the people complaining about the weight, its a freaking plastic toy, its about 5 pounds, 10 MAX.(and thats with a load of heavy-firing mods)

The longstrike ROCKS I modded mine with AR removals and spring upgrade (5kg (not much)) and it fires like 60-70ft and my brother has the rwcon and it sucks I AR modded it and replaced the spring and the plunger BROKE because of too much force acting upon it also it jammed bullets before I modded it also. Also the maveric is the best handgun because unmodded it has the farthest ranges but an easy trigger and pullback mechanism

    The best nerf gun is the recon because its extremely versatile unlike the others. Plus in mid game u can take off the attachments so u can have stealth or wut ever u want. Warning ladder is pointless. It interferes with cocking sometimes when u put it at the top of the cocking rail.
