Talk:Rayven CS-18 (N-Strike)

Y U NO let me keep my trivia tag that it's a bullpup blaster? It's also the first CS, if not the first EVER bullpup Nerf Gun. I think it's a totally valid point. Ben Again 14:16, November 4, 2011 (UTC)


 * We don't like comparisons of Nerf blasters to real guns. It kind of goes against everything Nerf stands for. JetCell  [ Talk • Contributions ] 15:14, November 4, 2011 (UTC)


 * Well, it is still noteworthy that this is the first Nerf blaster with the clip behind the trigger (oh, wait, that has the same name). And I doubt Nerf came up with a name for Bullpup. Maybe if Urban Taggers sends out a scan of it's manuel we can know. Still should be in the Trivia anyway, along with how Bullpup was made to shorten the overall designe, which happend here too.

 * Upon looking up the term after someone once again added this piece of trivia, I realized that it's a term for firearms. I don't know much about real guns so I assumed it was a real gun (as people often like to edit in that certain blasters look like this specific gun from this specific video game). Sorry for the confusion. JetCell  [ Talk • Contributions ] 02:50, November 5, 2011 (UTC)


 * Ah, good, good. Just FYI, there are bullpup firearms from many families and companies. M95 Barette, AUG, FAMAS, WA200, some others. They always looked interesting in games, and that was the first thing I liked when I saw the Rayven. Then the glow darts. Then that the glowing would likely be compatible with all the CSs. Can't wait for it! :3 (And also BTW, none of Nerf's blasters look exactly like any one real gun, IMO) Ben Again 14:43, November 5, 2011 (UTC)


 * The Firefly would also be nearly a bullpup design as well, since the trigger mechanism is at the far front of the gun, and the cocking mechanism is at the rear. The difference with it though is that there really is no barrel with it, and the magazine (the revolver part in this case) is also at the front.

Ravyen functionality
Does anyone know if the Rayven will be fully or just semi automatic? And, will it be using the Barricade/Nitron's noisy flywheel system?Jeebers76 00:24, December 3, 2011 (UTC)

I'm afraid to to say that it will be single shot (aka semi-auto) and it will use the nitrons version of the flywheel system, where there is an extra button under the trigger guard that will start the flywheels. And since I cant be bothered with signing in, pancake out

I say lumitron. It's the quietest and the cheapest of the two.

How to ban someone?
I say we permanently ban the person who wrote all those swear words!

versus the Stampede
Does anyone know how this blaster stacks up versus the Stampede? And, how noisy is the flywheel, can you still sneak with it on?Jeebers76 01:30, February 9, 2012 (UTC)

Um, there was the Firefly.

No, the Firefly is basically a crappy version of the Rayven, it's a lot bigger and doesn't have actually glowing darts. The Rayven's glow light and darts are totally contained within the big 18 clip, so you can put the glow darts into ANY CS blaster. What I want to know is, how good is the Rayven compared to the Stampede?

You can shoot shots quite fast if you pull the trigger fast enough, even faster than the Stampede. But shooting it so fast dosn't give the flywheels enough time to spin up, and the darts only go at best 3 feet. Firing at the same rate as a Stampede will get full results. The flywheels are quieter then the other flywheel guns, but still loud enough to be heard throught the area. Of course, you only need to turn it on when firing. Although the Stampede is easy enough to maneuver, the Rayven's bullpupedness makes it even easier. And it's lighter. If you know anything about first person shooters, the Stampede is like a heavy assault rifle (Kinda like the Stoner 63 in Black Ops), while the Rayven is kinda like a carbine or an SMG (think the AK74u).

Rayven sniper rifle
When I added the Longstrike Barrel extension, i found that that improves the range just a little. Maybe at my best guess about a foot. And also i found that the added barrel extension makes it look similar to the longstike, and, in my opinion, makes it look cooler. I also thought that taking away the shoulder stock (in my head) makes it look really similar to the longshot barrel extension.

Thank you for the information.

Lol, probably trying to clear them out to make way for the Elite ones. Ben Again (talk) 20:14, January 4, 2013 (UTC)

Yeah, I know. Just figured I'd give people here a heads-up if they wanted one. Hell, the Firefly clips go for more than that by themselves, especially on eBay. First thing I'm doing when I get an Elite Rayven is swapping the clips between them. The color of the old one will look a hell of a lot better on the Elite than the neon green that it will come with.

Real world version of the Rayven!
I was having a discussion with a fellow gun lover, and found out about a real gun that is a virtual clone of the Rayven! Look at this thing: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IMI_Tavor_TAR-21#Micro_Tavor_.28X95.29 You simply don't get much closer than that!!

Bluedragon1971 (talk) 14:34, January 15, 2013 (UTC)

is it really necessary to list that blasters are capable of being dual weild? Yes it may be possible but reloading is going to be a problem. pointless trivia shouldn't be added, this is one statement that gets constantly added and does not add any extra value. its a known fact, not any thing new or interesting...

Rayven discontinued disagreement
It really sucks that this rayven is almost discontinued! Its barely been running for a year >:(. Just cause a new Elite Rayven's been released, which I havent even seen in stores in my country!

you can rapid fire
you can rapid fire by continuously tapping the trigger as fast as you can until you run out of darts (Beybladertommy (talk) 01:03, September 6, 2013 (UTC)
