Toys and Games Reviews of Nerf N-Strike Deploy CS-6 BlasterCustomer Review: Great fun, MUST mod for full potential! Summary: 4 Stars
For modders, this gun holds a ton of potential. My recon broke the day before a Zombie Survival game, and as I was in need of a 'main weapon', I went out to Toys R Us and settled on the Deploy, because of the price and the ability to 'break down'. The light was definitely not a selling point, and even now I am working to replace the light with my own. After the review, my 'mods' will be listed quickly as suggestions for things to do if you plan on purchasing this Deploy and making changes.
Having done the AR mod, I have a word of caution: For those of you planning on modding this nerf gun (for reasons which I do recommend), beware that it is a PAIN to modify due to the transforming capabilities. Additional springs and moving components have to be put into consideration, and closely following guides on disassembly will ensure that your gun will continue to work after a modification.
Before modifying, these were my impressions:
The grey paint on the side of the gun is very useless, and honestly detracts from the paint scheme of the nerf gun.
The scope was obviously a second thought; nobody would bother thinking of actually using it, though using the recon's barrel attachment, it turns out to align with it quite accurately for aiming.
Firing distance was shameful. It wouldn't even cross my apartment, which shots from my nerf pistols were capable of doing it unmodded.
While a nice thought of including a strap, the included strap was too small, and really quite useless.
The gun is prone to jamming if you load darts that aren't completely round (and are likely to jump out of the ammo carrier) This may just be because the spring on the ammo clip is a bit too strong though, as the jamming happened only twice.
I was fine with all this, as again, the greatest selling point was for the gun to be collapsible. For those of you who play pretty intense nerf battles and employ actual tactics for sneaking around, large weapons are really a pain to carry around. Being able to close up the gun allowed me to comfortably sling it across my back and run around at night with virtually no sound. And with a moment's notice, I would be able to sling it around my side, deploy and start firing.
A bonus feature was that while the top fell to the side, it can also be placed back into its original position while firing, which was helpful in some respects.
The Deploy is also universally compatible with the barrels of the rifle class CS weaponry, including the Recon, Longstrike, etc., which allows for an intense looking weapon. I salvaged my Recon's pieces for use with the Deploy.
In comparison to the Recon, the deploy has several benefits, which include (but is not holly encompassing)
-Sturdier design
-Less likelihood of the ammo clip falling out while fighting
-Easier priming while firing
-Extra internal space for adding modifications
-Can collapse into a smaller footprint
I have heard that like the Recon however, the Deploy can suffer from the plunger tube breaking. This was a problem my Recon had, and so I'll have to wait and see if the same thing happens to my Deploy.
Quick list of mods:
-New paintjob!
-AR mod (this is necessary)
-Electrical tape for spring mod
-Switching out the red LED for a stronger one
-Disabling the 'lock' for the magazine release. (This is good if you're in the middle of a firefight and can't be bothered to remember to 'unlock' the release mechanism)
