Hey guys in the US (maybe Canada) I got a flier in the paper. Either Target or Kmarts (I forget which) have the Longshot on sale for only $25 this week. Go get em!

So, the out-of-the-box gun, does the bolt action work?

Yep it sure does.
Thats how you actually chamber a round and fire it.

Stop me now !!
I'm planning my third longshot as we speak.
I think this time I'm going to use a couple of m16 clips and go for a more clean, used, but not abused look.
It will be either all black or maybe a very bright sci fi look.
Still not sure yet.

Well I`ve enjoyed the one`s you have done thus far mate,so looking forward to the next one

I`m not sure what to do myself where these Longshots are concerned.

Apparently Hasbro UK say`s they have no plans to have these shipped to the UK.
Though what with the New Laws (replica firearms imported into the UK) this country has had introduced.
Would I be able to get one from the US & have it imported (due to it`s bright colours & firing Foam ammo),without being considered a menace & having the old Bill turn up?

Stupid that you have to seriously consider breaking the law on something for kids

It's a tough one Jason. If the original toy is a bright colour, then yes you can legally import it as a toy and not a replica firearm.

However, as soon as you paint it or convert it to look like a non-toy firearm then technically you are breaking the law.

Of course, if you had painted it before Oct 1st (but you did, didn't you? ) then it would be legal, but there are still issues with what you do with it. Using it at events is still a grey area at the moment, but my personal thought is that if you are dressed up in a costume and the gun is obviously a part of that costume, I think you'll be fine.

But obviously, if you walk down the high street in normal clothes with the gun sticking out of a bag, expect to get the book thrown at you!

Arrrrrggghhh!.......SARGE!....I love youuuu.....

HAHAHA Thank`s Phil.

I can honestly say I don`t tend to walk down the street brandishing a firearm (replica or other). So all being well I`ll be fine there

So if I got the Longshot as it was (it`s bright colours) I`ll be fine then. Well that`s something I guess then.
As for once painted up,well it would only be "out" when in costume anyway & of course that would depend if the drops where allowing firearms (replicas) in the establishments.
Always pay attention to what`s said here you know

Well methinks I`ll have to get myself one or two of these beauties then.
Thank`s mate

Jason

This week at Fred Meyer here in Seattle, all Nerf products are "buy two, get one free". Their longshots are normally $32.99.
Does anybody else like that other N-Strike gun (Firefly), the short one with the forward grip and the large stock (and the glow in the dark darts that are charged by a light in the barrel?!!)

Hey Gomi. I've got a firefly. They're... ok. It doesn't light up much. I'm working on modding one...

Of course I'm always working on modding nerfs for Marine stuff it seems...

I was at Target today, they have a large stock of Longshots but they are still $29.99. Maybe there's a huge sale coming right after Halloween, I've already heard radio commercials saying that it's "the Holiday Season". pardon me while I vomit.
I'll have to check Fred Meyer again to see if they're still on sale. Three Longshots for $64 is still better than 3 for $75 if they do go on sale at Target.

Try Fry's they are $24.99. Just walked out with (5).

On sale at Targer for $22.99 until tomorrow. They'll probably do this a couple times before Christmas.

Never noticed this until last night!!!






THE LONGSHOT WAS IN STAR WARS A NEW HOPE!!!


Now I have to buy a couple more (the other for a Morita-ish build)!





Ahem...


Actually this is from an auction I came across. Not too impressed with the photoshop job. He had another with what looked like a soldier in arctic gear holding one.

I told you I'd shoot, but you didn't believe me! WHY DIDN'T YOU BELIEVE ME!?!

Bump of an old thread.

So I picked up another Longshot on Monday from TRU; they were on sale with $11 dollars off the regular price.

But I'm a little torn as to what rifle to emulate with it this time around.

I've talked about turning one into a makeshift Morita (especially since I have a resin M60 flash hider for it)...

But having watched DooM about a dozen times this week- I'm thinking of making it more of a RRTS weapon (based on either Reaper's or Sarge's rifle).

I picked up one too, got plans to convert it to a tri-barrel, dual drum mag baddass mutha...Official Gotham PD Swat issue ya know.
