History[]
The Longshot CS-12 is a re-release of the 2006 N-Strike Longshot CS-6. It was first revealed in May of 2014 on the Smyths Toys website. The listing was then spread around online, upon its mainstream discovery on the 30th.[3] It was the first product in the Z.E.D. Squad sub-series to be discovered.[4]
Many in the NIC were concerned about the internals of the blaster, wondering whether or not they would stay the same as they did in the original release or if they would be updated to Elite standards.[5]
Modification[]
Orange Mod Works, a team devoted to modding blasters, have released two Unleashed Solid Kits for the Longshot; a Stage 1 kit with replacement spring, trigger catch and a Stage 2 kit with replacement boltsled and plunger.
Trivia[]
- The integrated stock still features the N-Strike logo detailed into it. This is probably an oversight from using the same molds as the previous Longshot.
- Besides the limited availability of the N-Strike Elite pinpoint sight, this would be the first time that a scope or a sight accessory had been released alongside a blaster, since the 2012 G.I. Joe Ninja Commando Blaster.
- The Longshot CS-12 is the only Zombie Strike blaster to have an N-Strike number code.
- Some stock images of the Longshot CS-12 show the blaster with a black front handle. However, the final version has an orange handle.
