Nerf Raider CS 35

Kids of all ages enjoy playing with Nerf toys. These kids can be aged eight, eighteen, or forty-eight. Dilettante weekend warriors often actually prefer Nerf guns to any other variety because they are easy to operate and there is no way that you can get hurt with the ammunition. This is also the reason that parents prefer Nerf guns for their children.

Nerf has committed itself to accomplishing two goals with its toys. The toys have to be fun and easy to operate, but at the same time they need to mimic the accuracy and trajectory of the real thing as much as possible. Players old and young agree that the Nerf N-Strike Raider Rapid Fire CS-35 Dart Blaster is the closest that Nerf has gotten to its goals to date.

The N-Strike has smooth and easy operation. It is completely powered by the pumping and slamming action that you find in most other guns of the Nerf line. You pump the gun to create air pressure and then pull the trigger to release the pressure and fire your ammunition. The N-Strike relies on this tried and true technology.

It has been refined, however, to the point where you will rarely, if ever, get a jam in your barrel. It also gives you the option of shooting a single dart at a time or shooting your entire drum barrel of thirty five darts in five seconds or less. While it does take some time to reload your barrel after you are done shooting, there is so much ammo in the barrel to begin with that you rarely need to reload.

The fire power of the N-Strike is fast, but also accurate. It actually is very similar to the action of a Tommy gun, the weapon on which it is modeled. The darts will fly out within a thirty degree arc of the barrel of the gun.

If you have seen any old gangster movies, you will see how they use the Tommy gun to spray the room. If you use your N-Strike in the same fashion you will be able to take out all your “enemies” with your foam darts.

When you are marching out into your backyard foam battles, it is important to have the right equipment. Though you will not need the same protective gear with Nerf guns as you do with paintball guns, having the right guns and the right ammo is a key if you want to be the champion of the neighborhood.

Thankfully, outfitting yourself with the best that Nerf has to offer won’t break the bank. Most Nerf guns are affordable and make great Christmas or birthday presents. If you are looking for the ultimate Nerf gun this season, look for further than the Nerf N-Strike Raider Rapid Fire CS-35 Dart Blaster.

The N-Strike holds a silhouette that should look familiar to fans of old gangster movies. It has a clip on drum barrel that gives it the look and operation of a Tommy gun. A drum barrel is a cylindrical barrel that clips to the side of the N-Strike. As the interior of the barrel rotates, all the ammunition in the barrel comes out and can be fired in a little as five seconds.

This is pretty amazing for a manpowered Nerf toy, especially when you see that a full N-Strike barrel holds thirty five rounds of ammunition. Most Nerf guns only hold only five or six pieces of ammunition at a time, so immediately should notice a difference in your backyard battles. While everyone else is running around, collecting their ammunition, you can keep firing at will.

The N-Strike not only holds a lot of ammunition in its drum barrel, but it comes with even more ammunition. Included in the box with the gun is one hundred pieces of ammunition. Even counting the ammo that inevitably gets lost in the bushes and trees, you still will have significantly more ammunition than that competition. Hasbro has also been running some promotions that allow you to receive an extra fifty rounds in the mail if you send in your proof of purchase.

With the combination of a Tommy gun barrel that holds thirty five rounds and the extra sixty five rounds you get on the side, you and your Nerf N-Strike should be nearly invincible.

Some of the best times are those that you spend running around in the backyard with your kids. Whether they are young or old, playing games is a wonderful way to spend quality time. Maybe you like to play catch or football.

Some families like to spend their outdoor time rollerblading or biking. A very fun activity that is often overlooked is playing with Nerf toys. Not only do you have the fun and running and attacking, but you also get a chance to plan strategy. There are so many Nerf toys available now for backyard military fun, each with its own set of characteristics. If you and your family are really into suburban warfare, the Nerf N-Strike Raider Rapid Fire CS-35 Dart Blaster is a must have for your arsenal.

This gun outperforms all other Nerf guns, hands down. Customers from preteen kids and grandmothers have all given this product incredible reviews. The best thing about the Nerf N-Strike is the sheer quantity of ammunition that you are given.

In other backyard battles ceasefires have to be called to retrieve the foam ammunition after everyone has fired all his rounds. You can fire thirty five darts at a time from the N-Strike, either singly or in rapid fire mode. This means that when the clips of your opponents have emptied themselves of their six or seven darts, you still have a lot of shooting power left.

Another advantage that the Nerf N-Strike Raider Rapid Fire has over similarly sized guns it is that is lightweight. There is another foam ammo gun called the Vulcan that also has rapid fire, but it runs on six batteries and is therefore too heavy to easily run around with. The Rapid Fire, on the other hand, is completely human powered.

Not only does that mean you’ll never have to worry about running out of power, but it also means that you can run, dive, roll, and hide with your Nerf gun with ease. Because the Nerf N-Strike Raider Rapid Fire is such a great gun, it will definitely turn the tide of the battle in your favor. To keep your family games friendly, it is best to get two.
