The Longstrike's stock also holds 2 clips (mags) as opposed to the Longshot's one. The Longshot's stock is also variable, while the Longstrike's stock is far more sturdy (non-adjustable), and thus more useful. The Longshot's jam door is partially obstructed by the carry handle/tac rail, while the Longstrike's jam door is easy to access and use. The Longshot has no built in iron sight and the scope only has a single reference point (only one reticle), making it more difficult to use. The Longstrike uses a flip-up iron sight and also has built-in iron sights. However, there are a few key differentiating details on these blasters. Both are bolt action and even have the same bolt handles. The Longshot and Longstrike share a priming system. Like all other clip (mag) system blasters, however, their accuracy wavers. This is achieved through the long barrels of both blasters. The Longshot uses a direct plunger system (which is massive) while the Longstrike has a reverse plunger system (which is small).īoth blaster get reasonably good accuracy for clip (mag) system blasters. The Longshot wins this round because it is 2 blasters in one - the barrel extension is a secondary blaster. The Longshot comes with itself, the barrel extension, the scope, and a 6-clip (mags). The Longstrike comes with itself, the barrel extension, the flip up sight, and a 6-clip (mags). The Longshot resembles a sci-fi energy rifle, while the Longstrike resembles a conventional sniper rifle. The Longstrike and Longshot vary in looks, but they both look awesome. This is a comparison of Nerf's two sniper rifles - the Longshot and Longstrike.
