The Nerf Longshot is one of the best Nerf guns on the market, though it does take a little work to make it reach its potential.
Out of the box, the Nerf Longshot only shoots about 35 feet — about the same as other (smaller) guns in the N-Strike line. You might be a little disappointed at first, because you would generally expect that a Nerf gun with a scope and the word “longshot” in its name would have a ridiculously awesome range. But fear not! There is hope.
The Longshot is one of the easiest Nerf guns to modify, and a couple simple changes to the internals can make an incredible difference in its performance.
Internally, there are very few small parts and there isn’t any glue holding things down, so you can pop open the shell and make your changes very quickly. You can easily more than double the range by simply replacing the spring and removing the air restrictors, at which point you’ll have a seriously awesome Nerf sniper rifle on your hands.
I only have one real complaint about the Nerf Longshot, and it’s pretty minor: the pistol attachment is close to worthless. It gets terrible range and accuracy, and when mounted, it decreases the range of your shots and can lead to accuracy problems. I recommend that you just take it off, give it to your little brother (if he’s armed it’s ok to shoot him), and be done with it.
Recently, there has been a lot of discussion about whether the Longshot or the Longstrike is a better gun. Ultimately, the answer depends on whether or not you intend to modify it.
If you do like to modify your Nerf guns, the Longshot will give you the most bang for your buck. The reverse plunger system found in the Longstrike (as well as the Recon and Raider) greatly limits the range that you can squeeze out of the gun, and no matter what you do, it will never shoot as far as the Longshot.
However, if you don’t like to mod your Nerf guns, both guns will give you similar performance out of the box, and you should make your selection based on which one appeals more to your playing style.
Here’s the official Longshot commercial from Nerf:

Personally this is is my favorite Nerf gun. Modding this gun is quite easy, it has no glue, few small parts, and no plastic parts that must be broken. After it has been modded it can shot between 70 to 100 feet. A modded Longshot will out-shoot almost all (If not all) other modded or standard Nerf guns.
It is great for long range attacks, however is too slow for close range battles. The scope is mostly useless so this gun will require practice at aiming for the long range shots. When modded it is also very loud. The pistol by itself is worthless, however when attached it seems to increase range and accuracy very slightly. In my opinion, once modded this is the ultimate Nerf Sniper gun.
I think the Nerf N-Strike Longshot CS-6 is an okay Nerf Gun. You’re a noob if you would choose it over a Maverick, but the gun is good for long-range assaults. Overall, i think buying the Nerf N-Strike Longshot CS-6 is a waste of money, especially when you could buy two better guns for about the same price.
I modded my Longshot and the end result leaves welts/bruises from Close/Medium Range; all from stretching the spring to at least 5 times it’s orignal length. I’m also going to put a shotgun-grip on it to replace the awkward bolt action.
if you put ripped or crappy bullets inthe longshot cs-6 the gun will not shoot properly. if this happens to your n-strike longshot cs-6 simply slide the clip out, load it then the gun should shoot the gun. when your done shooting that bullet just slide the clip back in.
deceny gun.
of course this gun sucks out of the box! its ages 6+ for crying out loud. this gun is meant to be modded for 70-100ft distance. they just dont want to get sued for some 6 year old shooting his moms eye out. this gun takes like 2 minutes to mod then it kicks butt.
how do you get your nerf gun to shoot longer distances ??
i think all guns are good^^
its juz who prefers what ^^
haha
this is to all the people who say they mod there gun to shoot 70 feet. that is imposible unless you battery power it. so stop lying. i moded mine and it only shoots 35 feet
How do you mod it?
ashton nazeri,
If you do the right mods to a longshot it could go 100+ feet. If you remove the ARs, couple the spring, perfectly stretch the spring, add o-rings, and plug the hole near the beginning of the barrel, you will have AMAZING Range. Please read this:
http://www.instructables.com/id/Nerf-Gun-Modification-101/
Wait, are you talking about the longshot main gun or the sidearm (front gun)? For the front gun, remove the ARs and upgrade the springs. The darts go far then. Watch this for a front gun mod:

thanks for the instructable link! ive been looking for one for forever! I LOVE INSTRUCTABLES!!!:DDD
Hey altair try going to ehow.com they might have instructions on how to mod a longshot cs6
ashton nazeri = freakin dumbazz. seriously dude? the guys that are saying they mod their longshot to shoot 70-100 feet are all telling the truth. you just suck at modding. seriously man, 35 feet is what it shoots when you take it out of the box. There’s 3 explanations for your pathetic gun. 1: you suck at modding, 2: you dont know how to measure (maybe yours actually does shoot 70+). or 3: you bought a defected gun.
For more Longshot Mods you can look at my website’s longshot modding page:

The long shot is a great nerf gun but the shotgun sucks. The shotgun has all kinds of problems. But the other gun is great! It has attatchment rails!
if they wanted to make it better they would make it semi-auto with out the coking mechanism so it would be turned into a assault riffle. very good in Nerf battles. decent range not that accurate tho, the darts tend to break rater easily so take good care of them
it shots longer with out the 2 gun
If you dont know how to use it get rid of it because you don’t deserve it. I have found a way to make it work flawlessley. First off you mod the gun by removing the air surpressor and the little stick thing that the bullet goes on. Then you add more O rings to the piston that pushes the air to fire the bullet. Then what you do is you get a Recon barrel attachment and add that on to the end. This attachment does not decrease speed and accuracy like the second gun. What you then do is put the Longshot scope on the evd of the Recon barrel and then the scope is accually accurate. If you want even more accuracy i reccomend calibrating the scope at medium range and lubing the inner barrel.
By the way if you don’t know how to mod the gun don’t, your not supposed to and any damages are your fault not mine or Nerf tm because it says right on the gun not to modify…
One more thing dont forget to stretch the spring or add a stronger spring, not too strong unless you reinforce with meatle.
ok let me tell all of you.IT IS 100% imposble to make it shoot 100 or 70 feet. you are all liers. show me proof make a youtube vid cuz im not a retard like all of you guys. long shot also sucks because when i shoot it darts dont even come out somtimes.
no more lying if u mod ur longshot by taking out the air restricter its gonna shoot far u have to remove it from both guns its a good gun and can be modded easily i have one i painted it a modded it i sware it shoots far if u don’t believe me try it ur self if u have one mod it it looks cool and if u want to buy one take the blue one dont buy the yellow one because first of all the blue one has better springs and it has a spare clip and if u want me to show u look http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z58d-aaY3oI this is the longshot which shoots…. see 4 ur self
The Longshot has OK range sometimes if you point the barrel down bulets fall down the muzzle though. its a good idea if you get caught in close combat to detach the shotgun and ditch the sniper and use a better gun
oh and another thing if you want to shoot it alot better make sure to hold the barrel horizantal to the ground
Ashton nazeri, you just suck at modding. You can get an easy 70 feet with the gun and if you go a lil deeper a 120. Man, do you know nerfhaven? You should take a look at that forum.
I should not be wasting my time doing this.
Ashton Nazeri,

The end.

how do you modifie a gun
You first need to find a good writeup. if you are a beginner, you should start with a simple gun like a nitefinder or a scout so it doenst matter 2 much if you break it. You will have to open it, and once it is done, you void your warranty (30 days on most guns). I’d suggest you to start with this simple mod to understand how the guns work, then you can go bigger. But it isnt all the mods that are easy.
here, i have 2 for you.
For a scout:http://nerfhaven.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=11324
For a nitefinder: http://nerfhaven.com/mods/rags_nitefinder/
(petg is hard to find, you can skip that barrel replacement part)
have fun, and take your time.
the nerf long shot is my fav gun i made it shoot 70 80 feet not moderated about 210 feet moderated and for me it is good for close range and long range if you takeof the end of the gun it look sweet and it is liter
ashton nazeri,
Okay, first, don’t swear. If people aim up and get 100ft then they can easily get the 70ft aiming normally. The End. Admit you lost.Stop getting so angry. I’m done.
longest range ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!
it was hard to cock then i teared it abart and found a nerf bullet stuck n it

Longshots can get good range when modified. It’s over.

ashton naizer you better stop thinking everyone is lying. they are all true. so you better stop sending your F***ING comments saying that everyone is lying. so what if the rifle can shoot to only 35 feet. you better stop saying that the whole world belongs to you!!!!!!!! NUTZ which means GO TO HELL!!!!!!!!

and longshot baik good? let me tell u alittle secret……………your gay………..teehee
I have the raider cs 25 vulcan ebf 25 im getting the rapid fire 20 after than i think im going to get the longshot cs 6 because of its coolness
Ashton nazeri, if you mod it and it only goes 35 ft than you suck at modding. my friend did just two mods to his and it shoots 100 ft flat.
im not saying its a bad gun im saying it cant shoot 100ft. and i just realized…..you guys are like 13-40 years old and your on a nerf gun site. wow im only 12 so i have a excuse
Im on NERF ROCKS side because he tells the truth and he doesnt try to prove us wrong.
recon sux
what reason would they have 2 lie 2 u so they could show off to some1 they dont even no and who cares how old they are and ur the lame 1 if u go out and buy 3 longshots 2 prove some1 rong and u cant mod
Thank you Nick.
hey ashton naizer i am only 11 years old and i am on the nerf guns side. so what do you mean?????????????
This LS shoots 100+ feet.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-ymWZcaX5Ls&feature=player_embedded
If your a sniper this gun is for you.it has alot [enough]bullets to snipe out 4/5 people,friends and realitves.GREAT GUN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!so is the raider
how do u get it to go far??????????????????? my pistol can go farther than that piece of garbage. kids if your going to get this gun throw it in the toilet
This gun is worse than my mom looking in my room. It definetely DOES NOT go 30 feet. The night finder goes farther, even if its broken. The scope is just a black dot, the secondary gun can’t do anything. If your thinking about getting this gun, GO BUY A HAMPSTER instead. It will do better things.
How do you mod it to shoot 70-100 feet.
best gun every
(B)
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
you know I don’t modify guns or paint them. Because im
afraid that let’s say so while you changethe spring into a more powerful one you accidently remove a piece
that without it the blaster can’t shoot darts. And then you find out that once it’s removed you can’t connect it back. no more shooting your sister/brother with that gun. What will you do? Think about it. you can anwser me back if you wan’t.
no clue how to mod
storm raider 13 please tell me HOW THE HELL A NERF GUN CAN SHOOT 100 FEET! and how to mod it so it does travel that far
hi ive got a maverick already (moded) but i want a gun that is easy to mod but will shoot far what gun would u recomend plz help
i like the longsot just 4 simplicity. i bought it and took it out of the box and immeadiatly noticed that to shoot more than 3 feet i had to angle it upward. i had to put it at like a 70 degree angle just to shoot across my room! sucky gun but looks intemmidating. great 4 modding!
dude conor if your looking for a modding gun check out the nitefinder and remove te airrestricter
There is a new version of this coming out called the longstrike
i cant wait to get it. It will be AWSOME
I don’t have this gun but my friend does, and I don’t think it’s too bad. If you don’t like the pistol attachment, then just like take the silencer/barrel extension from the recon and put it on.
how are the bipods are they any good?
And ashton nazeri or what ever stop fighting god you dont even know each other one could be big one could be small. Anyway i’m 9 and i love nerf guns.
longshot is an ok gun but can use modding.i also noticed that it is easyer to
unjam becuase the sliding thing at the top is bigger. the recons unjamming door is small so u cant really use it.and a nonmodded longshot can get better distance than a nonmodded recon. oh and mike.ur longshot maybe broken cus the longshot should be able to shoot between 20 to 35 feet flat.hmm also my longshot is a week old.i now realize that if u do treat ur nerf guns with respect u will have less jamming problams.also the nerf raider is a pretty good gun.
The yellow Longshot seems to be better than the blue one.
I added 2 springs, removed the air res., and added o rings to the barrel and it has a range of 175 feet!!!
O.K. my brother got it for Christmas and it keeps jamming Somebody help us Please.
i don’t know why this gun gets such a bad rap, it’s awesome, mine shoots 40 feet no mods, and Alpha Three is right, the yellow longshot shoots farther and jams less
I realy wont this nerf gun it look I mean is so good but they are so expensive in Australia. Is there aney where else to buy still in AU for a cheper price??? And I know that some body is going to say ebay so try to avode that.
(B)
happy
dude i can’t wait until the long strike comes out it looks like a new verrsion of this
jason it crazy but you are alwas below me
what do you meen
oh wait i get it im alway below you wow i notice that
ok ashton, you’re stupid if you can’t mod this gun to shoot 70ft +. First off, if you only removed the ar, maybe that’s part of the problem. You’ve gotta add a new spring like the bbb spring or an ar-15 buffer spring. It’s not a hard concept. and yes, I am talking about flat, not angled when i shoot it.
This is modder’s paradise. I am a novice, and yet in one day, I constructed a modded Longshot with an Iron-man inspired paintjob.
I personally can’t wait for the Longstrike, so I can mod that.
i have this gun and i think it is AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!! it is really good and all i need to do is mod it but i dont know how
can someone please email me the instructions on how to mod the longshot(just a basic one to make it shoot 70 -100 feet)????? my email is enochpun@gmail.com.
thanks
i hav this gun and its one of my favorites and the title actually matches the function haha go figure. it go’s really far and it’s pretty accurate. although the scope is COMPLETLY usless and the sidearm SUCKS! its good in rifle AND sniper mode. its an awsome gun.
my brother modded mine cuz im lazy and he cut off the barrel so it looks like 1 of those auto spec ops guns and painted it all black. it is sooooooooooooooooo coooooooooooooollllllllllllll I heard that the barrel is like one big air restrictor, so we cut it off. it gets 50 feet range fires very fast!!!!!!! gave me a bruise 1nce
for xmas my brother superglued to clips together at the very bottom of each other so when your out u can just flip the dubb clip round.
how can i buy this longshot in england
