Loading ...Update: I have the Nerf Deploy now, so here’s my review:
The first thing I noticed when took the Deploy out of the box is that it comes with a strap. Finally! I don’t know why it took so long to get a strap on a Nerf gun, but it’s definitely a welcome feature.
At this point, I’d planned to play around with transforming the Deploy from gun to flashlight and back again, but I just couldn’t resist — I had to see how far it shoots before I could do anything else. The results of the range test were about as I expected. Shots ranged from 25-30 feet, which is not surprising at all, given that it uses a reverse plunger system like the one found in the Nerf Recon and Raider.
The Deploy’s clip holds a maximum of six darts. Of course, this clip is interchangeable with other N-Strike clips, including the drum (which looks really ridiculous on the Deploy and feels plain silly).
Unfortunately, the pump action firing method is a bit of a mixed bag. The pump itself slides very smoothly and is easy to use, but the Deploy’s handle feels really flimsy (this is what happens when you make a collapsible handle to accommodate a transforming design).
Though it’s a little flimsy, overall the Deploy feels solid in my hands. It’s light and well constructed, as you would expect from a Nerf product.
As advertised, you can use components from other N-Strike guns on the Deploy. As I’ve said in the past, most of the components are purely cosmetic in nature, but it’s undeniably cool that you can customize the appearance of your blaster as you see fit.
Now to the flashlight transformation element.
First things first, using the flashlight requires 3 AAA batteries (the same batteries operate the ‘laser’ targeting system). Folding up the Deploy is simple enough — just fold up the handle and slide the shoulder stock forward, and you’ll end up with a device that resembles a briefcase – with a flashlight at the end of it.
Transforming the Deploy back into a blaster again is the best part, as you only have to press a button on the top.
All in all, the Deploy is a solid gun, and I’d heartily recommend it to avid Nerf fans and kids who would get a kick out of the flashlight part. However, if you’re new to Nerf and just want to have some casual wars around the house or office, there are better guns out there.
Below is a picture of the back of the box (found via Adult Fans of Nerf ).

IIIIII WONT one it looks so cool and did I menshon that I have one

try not to lie Longshotmaster I looked a ebay and it is not there.
this thing looks epic, much better than the longstrike, it’s like the Stampede REV-12 from the video games
yeh theres nothing on ebay
longshot dude whatever your name is
I WANT THIS GUN!!!!!!!!!!!!
I guess the Nerf game for Wii showcased some upcoming blaster models.
that thing looks creepy.
But I do have to say Iam going to mod the front whan I GET IT
the long strike looks much better but we’ll have to wait and see
and bradmew 2 are you calling me or him a noob
Thankyou for agreeing with me jason.
This gun looks pretty cool, the only things that i could think of that would make it better would be
1. if it had 2 barrels so it acted like a shotgun
2. if it had an exclusive barrel attachment (if you look at the barrel, you will see you can attach an extension)
P.S. i think the next gun from the video game they should make in real life is the Vengeance REV-8 or Spartan NCS-12 (even though it will more likely be something like Spartan CS-6)
Just a reminder to keep things civil — I know people disagree from time to time and that’s fine, just try to stick to facts and don’t resort to namecalling:)
yeah you make a good point
guy
thanks for helping clear things up Kevin

whats the vengance i didient see it in the video game is the any pictures email it to me turtleboy73@gmail.com
never mined i found it but is the hydra coming out
samboyay you can say your sorrry now.
This gun looks dumb! If it weren’t so cool I would never get it. but with the blaster flash transformation thing… it’s hecka beast! Next new gun… make it look good!
First off, i would like to point out that while the transformation will probably make it hard to mod (i have seen a video of it) it looks pretty sturdy and will not compromise the gun, also, is the Hydra SG-7 really coming out? do you have any sources?
do you have any source on their release date Xavu?
i was just asking
cool I want it so bad
This is clever engineering at it’s best. It can be used as a flashlight then a gun, and while its used as a gun the flashlight can still work.
Looks weird sounds wired but I’ll get it once it comes out
xavu were did you find thAT out
I wish they had it in the us other wise that would be my primary wepon
its reminds me of the P90 if u look at it close enough. if u know what the P90 is
when does it come out
Holy God.
Price? i meant the real one not ebay,amazon,etc.
cant belive i gott it 58 dollars from someone in tawain
This gun is so cool it makes the other ones look stupid
looks like a battle rifle
halo dude, it does not look much like a battle rifle to me, the battle rifle is bolt-slid, has a long, thin barrel, proper scope, and fires in bursts, this is more like a shotgun
but if it looks like a battle rifle to you that’s fine with me
fine it looks like an P90
whats your favorite nerf gun?
fine it looks like a P90.
my favorite nerf gun is the recon but when this gun comes out i will probly like this gun most.
GO COLTS.
I have the long strike it is soooooooooooooooooo awesome you have to get it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This gun will be about 20 bucks.The flashlight needs 3 aaa battries
first flashlight for chasing down people in warehouse then u switch it to blaster mode and shoot them u need 3 AAA bateries
they gonnamake a sharc 12
THIS IS SPARTA
I got the longstrike for $34.99 at Toys R Us. and whats a sharc 12?
halo dude- I agree, I think it looks more like a battle rifle. Looks- its not a machine gun but a shotgun. But it would still be awesome to have A halo gun look-alike. And by the way the “sharc” is actually called the Bullsharc-12, and its a Grenade launcher from the video game.
i think the nerf spartan looks like the spartan lazer
wAnT iT!!!!!!!
what?
want in wat?
oh you want it ok
oh me to
ok
Agent cyote the Ncs 12 spartan is coming out in fall 2010.
Jack- your right, I saw that. Looks awesome supposed to cost $45.
Anyway I saw the deploy on the nerf website, gonna buy it
Just bought the Deploy, its so awesome. Has good range, accuracy, the only problem is that the handle is kind of awkward. Reminds me more of a battle rifle than a P90 by far. Flashlight proposes no problem- its just a built-in laser sight really. If you have the recon, take the barrel extension off and put it on this gun, it can use all the different barrel stuff. Awesome
hey xavu hows the scope on this thind i v come to no that when exesoys are built in they work better
Iam going to use the barell from the radier
WHEN is it going to come out !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
hey do we know when this deploy gun is coming out?????
? works better
That looks cool saw it at toys r us
I putting a review on it on youtube, post a link to it on a Post or something. The sight is good, but with the light and sight, there’s nothing to put on the tactical rail except for the green light maybe.
this gun looks sweet and im getting it I got it off of amazon for like 30 dollars all togeather

what? the raider has no custom barral
the raider is cooler than the deploy but its accuracy and range is not great
