The Deploy CS-6 (known as the Flash Break CS-6 in Japan) is a clip-system Nerf blaster that was released in 2010 under the N-Strike series. The built-in flashlight requires three “AAA" batteries that are not included.

It comes packaged with a carry strap, one six dart clip, six Streamline Darts, and an instruction booklet.

DetailsEdit

It is a unique blaster that has the ability to change between two modes: Flashlight Mode and Blaster Mode. It has one tactical rail on top of its carrying handle. There is a jam door on the right side of the blaster, located at the front of the blaster. It has room for a dart to fit into the center of the front of the pump.

The Deploy CS-6 features a reverse plunger system. It has a shotgun style pump and uses clips for loading darts. Clips are inserted from the side much like the Raider CS-35.

ProblemsEdit

The use of a thirty-five dart drum will cause the Deploy function to not drop the light and clip to its respective position, unless tilted to the left when doing so; when it does drop down, it will do so with considerable force. An eighteen dart clip is not affected by this.

The blaster is compatible with barrel extensions; despite this, it does not come packaged with its own extension. Also, attaching a barrel of considerable weight will cause the blaster to tilt upwards, causing the blaster to not correctly deploy. This is due to a weak spring attempting to move the blaster's shoulder.

The orange pump action handle can also become stuck and will only be able to slide halfway.

Color schemesEdit

The Deploy has been released with the following color schemes:

• N-Strike standard color scheme (yellow, gray, black, and orange)
• Clear Series (clear plastic and orange)
• Sonic Series (clear green and orange)
• Whiteout Series (white, black, and orange)

ModificationEdit

The blaster cannot, without modification, remove a new clip without priming the blaster. Because of this, it is usually disliked in modifying communities. There is a very simple way to mod this, though. You can just drill straight down the barrel with a 1/2 inch outside diameter drill.

Blaster modesEdit

The Deploy has two distinct modes: Flashlight Mode and Blaster Mode.

Switching modesEdit

To switch to Blaster Mode, press the "Deploy" button on the top of the blaster's carrying handle.

To switch to Flashlight Mode, the user must physically set the blaster's parts into place: the clip/light must be flipped back up and the shoulder stock must be pushed forward by pressing the orange triangle button and pushing the stock forward.

Flashlight ModeEdit

Flashlight Mode is very compact and features a light on the front of the handle. There is a small orange button, near the flashlight, to turn it on.

The blaster can not be fired in Flashlight Mode; when it is folded up, the inserted clip folds upwards and comes out of the top of the blaster. The flashlight system is actually quite weak and can hardly be seen in daylight.

It should also be noted that the light on the front is not very bright. This is to prevent people's eyes from being damaged when looking at the light. This makes it effective to about half the firing range of the blaster unmodified, deeming the flashlight as useless or more useless than a Nite Finder light. Because of this, attaching a tactical light could be useful after all.

Blaster ModeEdit

Blaster Mode is simply what it says: the firing mode. When in Blaster Mode, the clip will fold out onto the left side of the blaster, the shoulder stock will slide backwards, and the handle will flip down from inside the blaster. The blaster's light will also flip to the left.

Reloading and firingEdit

To reload the Deploy, pull the bottom pump slide back and press the clip release button to remove any loaded clips. Load up to six darts into the provided six dart clip. While holding down the clip release button, load the clip into the side of the blaster. Pump the slide forward to prime the blaster and pull the trigger to fire a dart.

ReviewEdit

Deploy CS-6
Medium blaster
Category	Score	Notes
Firing range	6/10	This blaster has a firing range of about twenty-five to thirty feet.[1]
Accuracy	6/10	This blaster has average accuracy for a clip system blaster. However, the Deploy is also very wobbly, which greatly affects the blaster's accuracy.
Reliability	3/10	The Deploy misfires and jams a lot. The handle is also wobbly and flimsy due to the fact that it has to fold up into the blaster. It is also well-known for being poorly made and have a good chance of having a performance out of the box that most blasters have after extended use. This problem most notably affects the firing range; "bad" Deploys often only fire about ten to fifteen feet instead of twenty-five to thirty feet.
Rate of fire	5/10	This blaster has a max rate of fire of about two darts per second. However, firing this quickly will increase possibility of jams. It is recommended that it be fired a dart a second to avoid jams.
Capacity	6/10	This blaster comes packaged with a six dart clip and can hold a seventh in the secret spare dart hole located in the cocking handle.
Final score
5.2/10		The Deploy is an underwhelming blaster. Its ranges and accuracy are not as good as other clip system blasters. There is also the issue with the possibility of a Deploy being underpowered and having a "worn" performance out of the box. The Deploy is best skipped, as other blasters are out there that easily outperform it.

TriviaEdit

Nerf 2010 Commercial - N-Strike Deploy CS-6 Blaster(00:18)
1,724 views

• Oddly enough, when used upside-down, the Deploy CS-6 seems to fire faster and more accurately, likely due to the change in direction of the darts being fed into the breech.
• If a user puts a tactical scope on the Deploy, the flashlight feature can only be used sideways; the clip cannot be straight up. However, the scope that came with the Element EX-6 can be attached and still function, provided that the tinted lens is folded from the front of the scope to the side.
• The Clear, Whiteout and Sonic versions of the Deploy did not come with a carrying strap.
• On some Deploys, the trigger will have a slight delay when cocking the blaster and firing the blaster.
• This was the last blaster to bear the old N-Strike logo, which was replaced by a newer logo in mid-2010.
