Nerf Raider CS-35 review

Introduction: Just let me say that this gun is super cool. You should have heard about how it works already so, yeah, allow me to bring you up to speed.
Newbies of Nerf would find this gun unfriendly, strange and un-useful. But it is actually very good when used tactically. After a long time, me and my Raider finally bonded.
Has a new feature that only the Raider and the Alpha Trooper share: the slam fire. Best to use in close-combat-firing.
It doesn't jam much when you first use it. But then, after 2 weeks, it'll start to jam. But with new fresh darts, it'll not jam so much.Jamming can be cleared in 5 seconds if you practiced enough. It can fire up to 30 feet! Not bad for a gun which has a long barrel. But it will drastically decrease in range up to 10 feet when in slam-fire mode. It uses a pump action to prime it. It comes with a stock and a 35 dart clip which resembles a drum.
The stock also can be adjustable to fit any size. In total, there are 4 ranges. Kids(6-10)1st range, Young teens(11-14) 2nd range, Teens(15-19)3rd range, Adults(20+) 4th range.

Overall size: Without the stock, it is quite small, even my little cousin(4 years old and he can prime his Nitefinder and shoot me anytime he wants!) can hold the raider from the handle and front grip.
It is 24.5 inches in lenght(62cm)(with stock), 20.5 inches(52cm)(without stock), 7 inches(18cm)
Stock:
 Range 1) 24.5 inches(62cm)
 Range 2) 25.5 inches(64.5cm)
 Range 3) 26.5 inches(67cm)
 Range 4) 27.5 inches(69.5cm)

How to use: Single fire. Easy. First, find a range which is comfortable to you. Then, pull the front grip back to load in your clip. After that, push the front grip forward, and then just press the trigger to fire. To slam fire, make sure the stock is resting on your chest comfortably. Then press and hold on the trigger. Then pump the grip as fast as possible. But make sure you are not pulling the grip downwards or you might damage it(Or even rip it clean off). Average RoF will be 2-3 shots per second.

Darts: Only streamlines. And try to use new ones and leave the older ones to the Longshot who doesn't care whether the dart is good or not. Clip can hold 37 darts but it is not advisable to do so. The clip(regular clip which is attached to the drum conceals 9 darts in total. So when counting darts in the drum, add a 9 first.

Tatical Attachments: No use, only adds unnecessary weight. Unless you are going sniping, which completely eliminates the pros of this gun and brings out the cons.

My opinion: Good. Very good. Best primary weapon.

P.S. Never leave a gun primed. Halfway or not(Meaning when the drum-clip can be inserted inside, then by all means fully prime it and shoot that dart out. After that, put the dart into the small hole underneath the handle)
