Nerf Stampede Review

The Nerf stampede is a great gun all around and here I will go over the goods and bads of the gun

Goods:
The stampede has a very high ROF(about 3 darts per second on good batteries)
It comes with 3 eighteen dart clips, 1 six dart clip, and 60 streamline darts(There are also deals out there where you can get 100 darts or i saw one at costco where it came with the bandolier kit, a carry strap, and i think 3 more clips)
It comes with a pop-out bipod that attaches to any tactical rail for steady firing
It comes with a blast shield that comes in very handy when rushing in a war sometimes
It includes 6 tactical rails

Bads:
It uses 6 D batteries(not included), making it very heavy(a bit lighter than a vulcan)
It will not shoot at all without batteries
It costs an average of about 50 to 55 dollars at retail stores making it the most expensive Nerf blaster to date

Overall:
The stampede is one of the best Nerf guns i have ever used.  It isn't too heavy and it is very comfortable.  Also it uses the clip system which means that it can fire 35 darts from the Raider drum!!! : ) The only real downfall about this gun is that it is does not shoot without the batteries and that it is a wallet emptier!

Nerf Longshot Review

The Nerf Longshot is probably one of the best Nerf guns out there.  It is supposed to be a sniper rifle with a tactical scope, bipod, and a barrel attachment that doubles as a little pistol gun.

Type:  Spring

Darts:  Streamline

Ranges
Stock, this gun has fairly good ranges with mine getting about 20 feet flat and about 35 feet angled.  Also, most would agree that the Longshot is the best gun when it comes to modding potential.  After a few modifications, the Longshot may be able to get ranges of 75 feet flat and over 100 feet angled.

Looks
For a sniper rifle, the only things about it that share qualities with a real sniper rifle are the fold-down bipod and the scope that it comes with.

Accessories
The Longshot's accessories include the scope, fold down bipod, and the front gun/barrel attachment

Nerf Rumor: 50 Dart Drum?

This was found on the Hasbro website and yes, it looks like a 50 dart drum that can fit any clip system gun.  So is this just an intern's Photoshop creation or is it actually going to be produced?
