The Recon CS-6 is a 2007 N-Strike Clip System blaster that can hold up to 6 Streamline Darts by default. It comes with an instruction book, a Light beam unit, a Recon CS-6 barrel extension, a Recon CS-6 detachable stock, a Recon CS-6 flip-up sight, 6 Streamline Darts and the blaster itself. It requires 2 AA batteries to use the light beam unit, which is activated when it's switch is switched to the word, "ON". It was re-released two times due to an event called the Recon CS-6 recall, where the blaster was recalled due to a safety issue. The oldest model, the first generation, had no black guard at the back of the blaster which made the plunger tube stick out when cocked, and return in very quickly which sometimes caused skin to get caught in it in the process and tear. It was re-released a following time, but this time it had a very long bar labeled "ARMED". It was re-released again later on, which is the current generation. Throughout all the re-releases the only accessory to be affected was the Recon CS-6 detachable stock, which was changed for the third generation. It has also been included in the Red Strike series, the Clear Series, the Sonic Series and the Gear Up series. The darts included with it are the regular kind of Streamline Dart as well as the Streamline Dart (Gear Up) kind, only included in the Gear Up Recon. It is currently the smallest Clip System blaster to be released. It is also the second oldest, and the oldest one to be available worldwide. The concept of the Recon is customizability and and versatility. It does a fair job at this, as it comes with the basic attachments necessary for customization and overall is an all-around blaster. However, its successor, the Retaliator, does a much better job of this, despite coming with no sight or light beam unit. Still, the Recon can hold its own in a Nerf war, despite its stats being average.

Arguably one of the most used Nerf blasters, the Recon CS-6 is a good addition to anyone's arsenal. The Recon comes with a lot of neat accessories and is the smallest clip system blaster available.
Ammo: Streamline Darts
Pros: Light-beam unit, cheap, stock, barrel extension, flip-up sight, dart storage in stock, compact
Cons: Jams frequently. Range: Accuracy: Reliability: Rate/Capacity:
A good blaster, just not the most powerful in range and reliability.
