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 failure of a great nerf battle was a stilited or 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. You know all about single shot so I will go on to the rapid fire mode. The rapid fire mode uses a pump action to generate air pressure that will propel the dart (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 is made of a transparent plastic, easy for seeing the number of darts you have fired and when you need to think about reloading. 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 engaged in a 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 be a perfect stocking filler or Christmas gift for children 8 and up. It's probably more of a boys gift and it wouldn't surprise me if the odd adult or two would fancy a gift like this too.
