The Sharpshooter is a Nerf blaster that was released in 1992 under the Original Nerf name.
Included contents[]
- 1 Sharpshooter
- 3 Sharpshooter Darts
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.
