The Raider CS-35 (called the Raider Rapid Fire CS-35 on the box) is a Nerf N-Strike blaster that originated from N-Strike: The Video Game. It was released on September 9th, 2009. It is the third blaster of the series to utilize a magazine, and is compatible with the CS-6 model magazines (and vice-versa). It utilizes a reverse-plunger system (similar to the Recon CS-6 and the Maverick REV-6) and a breech similar to those in both CS-6 models, using the foregrip as the charging handle. It is one of the very few guns proved to be going in production from the N-Strike video game. It currently retails for around $35.00. The original packaging comes with a 35 Dart Drum, 35 Streamline darts and a Raider CS-35 detachable stock and of course, the blaster itself.
Hasbro's description
Get ready for the highest dart capacity NERF blaster yet! The NERF N-STRIKE RAIDER RAPID FIRE CS-35 blaster is the next big thing from NERF's popular N-STRIKE line of dart blasters and features a collapsible stock and new drum magazine that holds 35 darts and is interchangeable with the NERF N-STRIKE RECON CS-6 blaster and NERF N-STRIKE LONGSHOT CS-6 blaster. By holding the trigger and pumping, players can instantly transition between "single" fire and "slam" fire mode, unleashing a rapid stream of 35 darts. Complete with a removable shoulder stock and Tactical Rail System allowing players to customize their blaster for each mission, the NERF N-STRIKE RAIDER RAPID FIRE CS-35 blaster also features a cool "digital camo" pattern unlike any NERF blaster before it. No batteries required.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
 Army Of One12 | ||||||||
| A powerful, versatile blaster, the Raider has a few problems, but makes up for it in terms of its capacity and overall power. | ||||||||
| Ammo: Streamline Dart | ||||||||
| Pros: Tommy gun look, Huge 35-dart drum, doesn't use batteries, can slam fire, durable | ||||||||
Cons: Chews up darts, tips to the side due to the drum, range can vary widely, unreliable (on a lesser scale)
| ||||||||

| While it can ultimately destroy darts, it can make for it in its rate and, of course, its capacity. If you have any problems firing it with the drum at the side, try firing it sideways, with the drum pointing downward. It will help. Overall it is a solid blaster. Recommended for support, group backup, frontline, and/or all-out assault. | ||||||||

Trivia
- This was the first blaster to feature the "digital camo" engraving.
- This blaster is the first blaster form the N-Strike video game that is sold in stores and have a Nerf 35-Dart Drum Clip System Unit.
- This blaster is similar on the video game blaster Raider CS-6 but different in ways.
- Some Nerf fans were disappointed that Nerf decided to make the blaster a pump-action blaster, rather than use a bladder or CO2 cartidge for full-automatic fire, which would take full advantage of the drum magazine.
- A special edition has been released in which the Raider CS-35 comes with 70 darts as to the usual 35. There is also a value pack with an extra 35 dart drum.
- Even though it is advertised as the highest capacity in a Nerf blaster, the Hailfire, to be released 2 years later, holds up to 144 Elite Darts, beating out the Raider.
- This is the only blaster can be silenced by putting a peice of tape over the priming indicator.
- It is recommended not to buy a Rampage if one already has a Raider, and vise versa, as they both can compare to the other, with the Raider only at a slight disadvantage, compared to the Rampage.
