Sharpshooter

The Sharpshooter is a Nerf blaster that was released in 1992 under the Original Nerf name.

It comes packaged with three Sharpshooter Darts.

Details
The Sharpshooter is a spring-powered dart blaster and is the only blaster to use Sharpshooter Darts. It features an area on the top of the blaster to rest one's hand, which bears a strong resemblance to a priming slide, although no blasters at the time of its release used slides. There are two integrated dart holders on top of the blaster. The integrated dart holders may also double as a built-in iron sight if one looks down the middle of the dart holders.

History
The Sharpshooter was the first blaster to utilize a number of now-standard conventions, such as a priming slide with a ring pull, a proper plunger system, and a firing trigger. It was also the first Nerf blaster to use any form of dart-based ammunition.

It was released with two different color schemes, although it is unknown when the second color scheme was released.

The Sharpshooter was discontinued in 1995. It was succeeded that year by the Nerf Action Sharpshooter II, which featured a better rate of fire and capacity.

Color schemes
The Sharpshooter has been released in the following color schemes:


 * Blue, black, and red
 * Burgundy, blue, and red

Trivia
