5. Secret Strike. Okay, it's a cheap blaster, so I can't knock it too much. But it takes way too long to prime, when a Jolt is better in every single way.

4. Recon. It was a good idea for a blaster, but the range was horrible. Also, the stock is VERY flimsy. Worst sight ever too.

3. Longstrike. On the bright side, you can use it for melee attacks. You might as well, because its range isn't much further. Horrible gun for one that's supposed to be a sniper, and they cancelled the Longshot for THIS?

2. Spectre. It's basically an expensive Maverick with one less shot. The stock is pretty bad, and aside from the coolness of having a gun that looks like it has a silencer, the barrel extension is useless.

1. Heartbreaker Bow. No, I'm not knocking it because it's Rebelle. I'm knocking it because it's a $20 SINGLE SHOT BLASTER when I could just as easily get a Stryfe or a RoughCut for the same price. Why would you hit people with a longstrike? That would just hurt, unless you cut downn an N-force sword, taped it on and made a bayonette Or glued soft stuff to it, like pillows, or kittens, or foam.

Using it as a melee attack wouldn't really work anyways, most nerf guns have a tendency to creak like wood and, assuming the person saw you swinging it at them, it would be way to easy to just grab it and counterattack. I suppose it would be useful if you where a sniper and caught an enemy assasain off gaurd before they killed you.
