4.0 out of 5 stars The NEW Deploy CS-6, February 25, 2010

I run weekend-warrior games of Humans Versus Zombies, and since I am the Human Team leader, i need an impressive armament.

I used the Recon and Maverick my first game, and both of those are pretty decent. I then decided to impress by picking up the Deploy, and I am pretty happy with it.

Pros:
-Quick-release button is not only practical, but very intimidating to Zombies, as your blaster is fully assembled in 1 second.
-Shotgun priming system is very easy to use and reliable.
-Red light is good for night missions/games
-First Nerf gun to actually include a carrying strap; perfect to sling around the shoulder and grab your secondary
-Accepts barrels from Longshot, Longstrike, and Recon (Recon barrel looks WICKED AWESOME)

Cons:
-Reverse-plunger system (like the Longstrike and Recon) is notorious for shorter distances, and jams (if used improperly or with bent darts)
-Don't expect this to act like a sniper rifle; it's an ASSAULT rifle (meaning short-medium distance shots)
-Collapsable handle isn't as stable as one would like.
-Lots of noise while firing...not much of a problem for people, but the rattle bugs me sometimes.


All in all, its a very decent gun, and you cant beat the price for something as decent as the Deploy (though the Recon came kinda close)

4.0 out of 5 stars Novelty toy, February 21, 2010

Ok, I was so happy to see this at my local toy shop since I thought it would not be out until April. This is a fun novelty blaster that Nerf used to make in a large variety. I love the N-Strike line, but like many have gotten a bit bored with the repackaging of the same systems. So here is how the Deploy CS-6 is different, it transforms! Yeah, a flashlight into a blaster seems lame when you think about the light only needing 3 AAA batteries to work, but I still remember the sonic ray gun I had that folded into a radio when I was younger and I loved playing with it!

The stats:
-The plunger is identical to the Recon (which seems to be Nerf's fav since you see it on the Longstrike and Raider), so the power is that of a light blaster. Think Recon range with no barrel extension.
-The size is nice and compact when folded and expands an extra 4"-5" when 'deployed.'
-It comes with a carry strap! Finally all the other blasters have the place for clipping a strap this one actually comes with one.
-N-Strike accessories that can work with the tactical rail and it has a fitting for the barrel extensions from the Recon, Longstrike, and Longshot.
-Pump-action, which is always nice, but the collapsing handle (which has a good additional support) feels flimsy (which I expected since it is collapsible and made of plastic).
-It is a CS (clip-system) so you can buy extra clips and use the Drum-clip (the last seems a bit awkward with the size and weight).

I bought this blaster because of the uniqueness it has and how much fun I had when I was a kid using a transforming blaster and my imagination. I think my son will get a kick out of it also.

2.0 out of 5 stars The Gun Has a Basic Design Problem, September 6, 2010

This review is from: Nerf N-Strike Deploy CS-6 Blaster (Toy)

I have purchased three of these guns. The first one jammed badly to the point where I could not unload the cartridge or even look inside the peek chamber. I returned it thinking it may have been isolated to that particular gun. After playing with the new one three times, it jammed again. Again the peek chamber failed. I exchanged it again. My third one has not been played with yet but I am guessing it's just a jam waiting to happen. The other Nerf rifles have been very good to us an we have had no problems with them. This one needs to go back to the drawing board.
