Nerf Barricade RV-10



After finally getting my hands on a Barricade yesterday, I've done my testing, and it's time to write a review.

ADVANTAGES and DISADVANTAGES
  • Requires 3 AA batteries to run.
  • Fires ten darts from a rotating barrel
  • Is semi-automatic, which means that the blaster is fired by pressing the trigger, which means no reloading, but no rapid fire
  • Cannot fire without batteries
  • Uses flywheels, which means there is a 'motor' like noise while the blaster is firing, but the gun is no louder than an Alpha Trooper or Recon due to a more quiet sound made by the trigger
  • Has room for a stock, and works well with the Raider's
  • Has a jam clearance door that, unlike other blasters, can be opened at any time.
  • Has a impressive rate of fire, fully unloading the 10 dart barrel in 3 or 4 seconds.
  • The trigger sometimes briefly locks in place, but this can be resolved by letting the trigger revert back into its original position before continuing firing.
  • Has a tactical rail that works well with most accesories, due to the lack of a reloading mechanism
This gun gets 8/10, and it is definitely an upgrade upon the ever popular Maverick. The batteries do not give it a greater rate of fire, but having 10 darts is an improvement, the tactical rail is better placed and it has room for a stock, which was essential due to the fact it is heavier than the Maverick.

And, courtesy of SG Nerf, one of those mods that blows you away...



Awesome!!!
