And Strongarm FTW.

For some reason, I find springers more fun than flywheels. Springers are sometimes more satisfying because you actually have to physically prime it and the sound and feeling of that spring snapping and the plunger moving forward is something tangible -- You can actually really feel yourself shooting and it feels more powerful. I like both, but I definitely have the urge to drop all my flywheels and go back to a springer exclusive loadout from time to time.

To the OP, it depends on what kind of Nerf War you're running. Because, as others have said, a Longshot is really only useful if modified. If you're running a Longshot stock, you should be indoors where the short range of the Longshot won't matter. Either that, or in a small to medium sized yard. Otherwise, you're definitely going to get outgunned. For a sidearm, you definitely can't go wrong with a Strongarm, but it will be pretty weird to have a sidearm that performs so much better than your primary.
