  • Question
    Can I use the Retaliator for a sniper?
    Community Answer
    Although a Longshot Cs-6 or Longstrike Cs-6 is preferred, the Retaliator should work just fine as long as you can aim well with it. Remember, to increase your range, remove the front barrel attachment, or keep it on to increase accuracy.
  • Question
    Now that the new tri-strike has been released, do you think it's a viable option as a sniper?
    Community Answer
    It is great with these attachments: retaliator barrel; retaliator stock; modulus long-range scope and bipod; a six or 10-dart mag.
  • Question
    Can I use small flywheel blasters as a secondary?
    Community Answer
    Yes, flywheel blasters can be used as a secondary.
  • Question
    Can I use Magnus or Cyclone Shock as a sidearm?
    Community Answer
    Yes, you can. If you want to, use some foam on the piston hammer or buy a silencer if yours is compatible. Otherwise, your gun will be quite noisy and your spot might be given away.
  • Question

    Community Answer
    Use a full clip of darts. You should not need spare clips, but they help if you come under attack.
  • Question
    Can I use a sling fire to be a Nerf Sniper?
    Community Answer
    You could. However, it should be modified to have a stronger spring, as the effective range is only 35 feet.
  • Question
    Do I need to have a Longshot, Longstrike, Nitefire or Raptorstrike?
    Ethan Chen
    Community Answer
    Not really. If you have a rifle or any other Nerf blaster, you could mod it to shoot farther.
  • Question
    What kind of scope should I use?
    Community Answer
    Most common scope used is the longshot scope. If you want cooler attachments, the pinpoint sight or the nitron scope are for you.
  • Question
    Is a Mega Magnus good for a Nerf sniper?
    Justus Carnley
    Community Answer
    If you buy Buzz Bee's version of the mega dart, and are willing to sacrifice a few feet for accuracy, it could be potentially used as a sniper rifle.
  • Question
    Can I snipe with a Delta Trooper?
    Ethan Chen
    Community Answer
    It simply is not accurate enough, nor can it shoot far. If you mod it first, then sure.
  • Question
    Is there a longer barrel for the long shot ?
    Community Answer
    Yes, you could use the longstrike barrel.
  • Question
    Is the Lawbringer a good sniper?
    Community Answer
    It is if you have a scope on the tactical rail, but it is not as good as other Nerf snipers.
  • Question
    Can I use a long ranged pistol or rapid-fire gun?
    Ryan Lobert
    Community Answer
    A long-range pistol would be a very good plan. They are spring-powered and quieter than normal. I would not recommend using rapid fire, because of it kind of defeats the purpose of sniping.

    Community Answer
    Not very. I wouldn't recomend it, but not just because of the lack of accuracy. It's SO BIG!
  • Question
    Is the Modulus EC-10 a good gun to use as a sniper?
    Community Answer
    No, it has fly wheels. I have one and it's super loud. Just don't use it overall.
  • Question
    How do I use a HyperFire?
    Timothy Skinner
    Community Answer
    First, check that you have batteries installed. Then, hold down the second trigger with your middle finger while you hold the trigger. if you can't fire, it's probably because you either have the jam door open, or you're out of ammo.
  • Question
    Where can I get new spray paint for the weapon?
    Community Answer
    You can find spray paint at any hardware store like Home Depot.
  • Question
    Can I use the Stryfe as a sniper?
    JellyDrop Plays
    Community Answer
    Maybe. It will most definitely give away your position, and quickscoping in Nerf doesn't really work, so it's not your best option.
  • Question
    How do I know if a Nerf gun is good for sniping?
    Community Answer
    Nerf Rival blasters fire harder and farther than the rest, so I recommend a spring powered Rival blaster.
  • Question
    Can I use the Recon 2 and retaliator attachments to be a sniper?
    Community Answer
    Yes, you can.
  • Question
    Can I use an old Predator without attachments?
    Eli Belt Films
    Community Answer
    It isn't a very good blaster. The range and accuracy are limited. For better accuracy and range, I would recommend using the Nerf Rivals Apollo XV-700. It's the cheapest Rival blaster, but one of the best.
  • Question
    Can I use a Longshot with a 26kg spring when I'm acting as a Nerf sniper?
    Community Answer
    Yes, but note that your weapon could hurt others if you aren't careful.
  • Question
    Would you recommend the new Accustrike Alpha Hawk as a viable option for sniping?
    Community Answer
    No, because it is not really accurate. I would recommend a Tri-Strike instead.
  • Question
    Can I use the Nerf Vortex Proton as a sniper weapon?
    Community Answer
    No. The disks are not accurate.
  • Question
    Can I use the Alphahawk?
    Eli Belt Films
    Community Answer
    Yes, it's an Accustrike blaster, so the darts that come with it are (supposedly) more accurate than your Average Joe Nerf dart. It also has a built-in sight, which is the same, if not better than the N-Strike rail attachment scopes.
  • Question
    Can I use the stampede gun?
    Community Answer
    No, as it is relatively inaccurate, and delivers very poor performance. Look into purchasing a Hammershot, it's quiet, moderately powerful, and smaller than a Strongarm.
  • Question
    Can a custom scope help with accuracy?
    Community Answer
    No. Nerf guns do not shoot far enough and are too inaccurate to use real scopes.
  • Question
    How would I make sure my scope cross-hairs is where the dart will go?
    Community Answer
    It has to be in the center bit and if there is wind, aim to the right or to the left a little bit depending on the direction of the wind.
  • Question
    Could I use a Spectre Rev 5 as a Nerf sniper?
    Justus Carnley
    Community Answer
    Possibly, though there are many other better-suited blasters. Spectres are really outdated and hard to get these days.
  • Question
    Can I snipe with an Artemis now that it's out in stores?
    Community Answer
    Yes, but it is loud and the pump action will be hard if you are on your stomach or in a small space. Otherwise, it is accurate, can fire hard and has thirty rounds. If you really want to snipe with the Rival line, I suggest the Apollo. It is very accurate.
