The Nerf Raider CS 35 is the latest dart blaster gun to come out of the Elves workshop that we call NERF toys. It's an innovation on previous guns because it has a rapid fire option that does not require batteries to work. It's a bit like a semi-automatic or pump action dart gun. This is sure to give you the edge when it comes to any nerf wars you have lined up this year or the next. Here is a short outline of what you can expect of your Raider CS35 gun.
The common drawback with a full on nerf war was a limited firepower. Fair enough, you could carry a few darts with you and reload each time you fire but nothing is quite the same as an rapid fire mode to deliver a withering rate of fire at the opposition. This has changed with the CS-35.
It is part of the N-strike nerf dart blasters which are defined by having a regular dart tip rather than a velcro lined tip. The stock can be adjusted to fit any size of firer. It looks like your classic Nerf blaster but it has a drum magazine attached. The magazine will take up to 35 darts.
The gun can be fired in single shot mode or rapid fire. I'll not cover the single shot option as the rapid fire option is more interesting. The rapid fire setting uses the pump action of the stock to generate air pressure that is the force behind any dart leaving the gun (you can get a fair distance with a dart, across a medium sized back garden). By keping the finger depressed on the trigger, you can effect an automatic (or semi automatic) fire rate each time you pump the stock. Therefore firing can be done as rapidily as you work the pump action.
The magazine comes in a see through plastic so that you can view how many rounds you have fired and when you have to reload. Reloading the drum magazine can take a bit of getting used to and will take time initially but the more you do it, the easier it will get. If you are involved in a full on nerf war, then make sure you have a nice hideaway where you can go to reload.
You can buy the Raider CS 35 separately or as part of a starter kit that comes with an extra 65 darts (100 in total). Although the value pack will set you back a bit more, it is a better choice as you will never run short of ammunition with this option.
This dart blaster gun would make an ideal Christmas gift for children 8 and up. It's probably more aimed at boys (if you'll excuse the bad pun) and I bet the odd adult male or college student might like to have one handy for the odd occasion too. - 31376
