More sleuthing to do, but I'm thinking this is the precursor to the "un-ported" one with the removable box mag. (Contrary to the current Wiki article statement that the port was "added"; but I'm going to try to find release dates before editing that, just to make sure).

This one's internals are straightforward and no-nonsense, but it's a pain in the butt to use.

You basically have to fire it left-handed, because your right hand has to:

- charge the ONLY priming handle,

- pull a dart out of the bottom front side of the "perma-mag",

- stuff it into the side-port that exposes the side-flopped barrel,

- push the charging handle forward.

The internals of the Quickfire Sniper look like an afterthought/retrofit in comparison (look at that ridiculous trigger piece!!!), but clearly took some design queues from the Nerf Longshot, with a metal-rod ambidextrous charging handle, and a removable box mag.

(BTW, I've never seen an Air Zone / Stats Blast removable mag in person, but it looks kinda cool in the videos, in that you don't need to charge the priming handle to insert or remove it.  The downside is that darts fall out if you remove it before it's empty, though.)
