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 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

How much ammo should I have as a Nerf sniper?

Dragonlover51

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.

It simply is not accurate enough, nor can it shoot far. If you mod it first, then sure.

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.

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

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 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 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

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.

How would I make sure my scope cross-hairs is where the dart will go?

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

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.
