Clip System Guns

Our three general use guns are the Longshot, the Recon and the Raider.  The Raider obviously has a significant advantage, due to the slam fire and the 35 round drum it comes with.  It's also shorter fully loaded than the Recon is fully loaded, or the Longshot is in a bare bones configuration.  However, it's slightly more prone to jams, really hard to aim without the stock, which limits its customizability, and it doesn't have as many mod possibilities as the Longshot. The Raider is the undisputed champion in CQB and CTF for its ability to fill the air with a solid wall of foam extremely fast.  So the contest instead goes to the Recon and the Longshot, where there is no contest in my opinion.  The Longshot has better range, better ease of use, and therefore better rate of fire, more ammo storage, less dead barrel space, more ammo storage, more stability, more modification possibilities, better performance after said mods and many more things that I don't want to list.  The Recon is far outclassed by the Longshot, as is the Raider in medium to long range battles.  But the Raider does great indoors, and that's common knowledge.  So the question is what is the Recon good for?  First and foremost, size.  As the name suggests, this weapon is easily concealable and therefore great for Scouts and the like.  But there aren't any scouts in most wars, so the size actually translates into a great close-quarters weapon.  In its smallest form, it's slightly smaller than a Maverick, holds the same amount of ammo, gets roughly the same ranges, and reloads quicker, especially if you tape the clips together.  The flashlight thing that comes with it is pretty useless, as it is barely visible at the best of times.  The sight is horrible as it takes a good five seconds to line up a shot, and by that time your target will have moved or shot you, or both.  The barrel extension is worthless unless you add a properly sized barrel, as darts will most likely bounce off the inside of the barrel otherwise.  The stock is actually good quality, it just needs a little more strengthening so it doesn't bend when you put weight on it.  So the Recon is great for close to medium range battles, but its lack of range keeps it from doing anything beyond that.  The Longshot was built for medium to long range battles once modified, and the Raider kicks serious ass in close to medium range battles.  The Deploy is basically a gimmicky Recon, I don't really know anything about the Alpha trooper, and the Stampede is likely to curb stomp everything in close combat when people get their hands on it.  I will still stand by the Longshot in every area, but you can decide for yourself from here.
