Details[]

The Sharpshooter is a spring-powered dart blaster. It features two integrated dart holders atop it; these can also double as an iron sight when viewed down the middle.

History[]

The Sharpshooter was the first blaster to utilize a number of now-standard conventions, such as a direct-prime-action 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[1]; previous blasters only fired ball or arrow-style ammunition.

A later re-release of the Sharpshooter with a new burgundy color scheme came packaged with Mega Darts, rather than Sharpshooter Darts. This version of the blaster features a thinner barrel post to allow the included darts to more easily be fired.[citation needed]

The Sharpshooter was discontinued in 1995.[4] It was succeeded that year by the Nerf Action Sharpshooter II, which featured a better rate of fire and capacity.

A recreation of the Sharpshooter, the Nerf LMTD Sharp92, was released in 2023.

Color schemes[]

The Sharpshooter has been released in the following color schemes:

  • Sharpshooter Darts (blue, black, and red)
  • Mega Darts (burgundy, blue, and red)

Trivia[]

  • The Sharpshooter was the only blaster in the Original Nerf series to fire darts.
