MAVERICK REV-6:
WHITEOUT VERSION
Every now and then, a blaster design
comes along that is so striking and
original it becomes a legend in its own
time—the Maverick REV-6 is one of
these. Originally released in 2005 in
a blue, yellow, grey, and orange color
scheme, the Maverick was quickly rereleased in the N-Strike yellow color
scheme and became the most popular
blaster NERF has ever produced [XX:
CHECK—AS I RECALL, SALES OF THIS
BLASTER ARE LARGER THAN ANY
OTHER]. It is so well-loved, in fact, that
it is common to see NERFers packing two
of these six-shooters (just like a sheriff of
the Wild West might).
To load the Maverick, press the
button located on the side of the muzzle,
right in front of the trigger, which
releases the cylinder far enough out to
load two chambers at a time. When
all six chambers are loaded, slap the
cylinder back into the muzzle with the
loading hand or flip it back into place
with the shooting hand. Now the blaster
is ready to be cocked and fired: just
crank back the slide between each shot
and blast away! As every dart is fired,
the cylinder revolves clockwise (as seen
from behind) to align the next chamber
with the muzzle.
The tactical rail is located on the top
surface of the slide and doubles as the
rear half of the blaster’s sights. If your
style is to keep your hand on the slide
to increase how fast you can reload and
fire, you will be sacrificing the ability to
line up the sights on your target.

MAVERICK REV-6:
CLEAR VERSION
One of the factors that make the Maverick REV-6 so popular is that it can fire every type of NERF ammo, including the Elite Dart, [XX:
CHECK] but it is unquestionably its iconic six-barrel design that made it such a huge fan favorite. The Maverick was made in the widest
possible range of color schemes: the original blue, yellow, grey, and orange; N-Strike yellow; Clear; Sonic; Gear Up; and Whiteout. And it
came in a couple of other packages: a Double Your Darts! value pack came with 6 extra Sonic Whistler Darts, and Walmart and K-Mart
sold exclusive two-Maverick packs that came with 24 Sonic Micro Darts. It also inspired the Walmart-exclusive Spectre Rev-5, which had
a smaller cylinder and came with a detachable silencer. An even better indication of the importance of the Maverick, the iconic six-barrel
design lives on in the Elite line with the Strongarm (page XX).
