Nerf Recon CS-6 review

Introduction: Although it is a customizable rifle, it is not very special. It resembles an M16A4 rifle(US standard assault rifle, and my favorite Counter-Strike rifle). It's stock is not very sturdy and it can store up to 1 clip(which is easy to take out) at the stock. The stock is not adjustable so some kids will grip it under their armpit(wipe the stock area after every use) while firing. The barrel is not very light either. A jam is very hard to be fixed because of the small jam door, so the best option is to just remove the clip and re-insert it(6 secs). The clip release is right above the trigger area so, it can be reached easily if you use your index finger. Unlike the Longshot, it has a clip release trigger on each side of the rifle so that left and right handed users can use it as well. Because the Longshot does not have this function, it will be a disadvantage for left-hand users. It comes with only 1 1x6 streamline clip. So, if you want to store an extra clip, buy the Bandoiler Kit.

Overall size: Coming soon.

How to use:  Depends on your size, if you can prime the gun comfortably when the stock is resting on your shoulder, then by all means use that way. If you are too small, place the stock under your armpit of your firing hand, then rest your other hand on the primer. And, its ready to go.

Darts: Streamlines. Jams less with good darts.

Tactical attachments: The sight which comes with it should be put on the primer. It is also accurate if the target is not too far away. The targeting light should be mounted on the lower side of the barrel. But it will increase the weight. And when in use in a dark place, try not to use the light if you are in the open. Otherwise, you'll just be a target. A Longshot sniper will see you and just shoot you in the head and you won't know where the darts are coming from. Use it in a narrow corridor with wide beam instead of targeting dot which is useful only in all-out-war and small skirmishes.

My opinion: Its an all terrain weapon. So, use it when you are in an unfamiliar terrain, just like an assault weapon. But bring a Raider along if you are expecting an all-out-war.

P.S. Never leave a gun primed. Halfway or not. When the clip can be inserted inside, meaning the gun is still primed. To check look at the black cover behind the blaster, can be seen even with the stock attached. Look at the upside-down 'u' shape. If it is orange, then it is primed, if black then its not.
