Nerf Gun Review: Nerf N-Strike Maverick REV-6

This is a Nerf gun review of the Nerf N-Strike Maverick REV-6.

Introduction: Released in 2004 as part of the N-Strike series, the Maverick REV-6 is still a popular Nerf gun, and can be found in many stores. A Nerf gun arsenal would not be complete without this blaster. But just how good is it?

Range: The gun can fire the micro darts about 25-35 feet. Certain darts like whistler darts may have an effect on the range. 8/10


Accuracy: The Maverick has great accuracy. For shooting at long distances and with wind, it can be a bit off-target sometimes. 9/10

Reliability: The Maverick rarely jams, but may have some errors such as skipping chambers if the trigger is pressed when the gun's pull/push-slider has not been pulled fully back. Also, rotating the barrel when it hasn't popped out may cause the gun to stop working. 8/10

Rate: Depending on how you hold it, the gun can fire 2/3 darts per second. That's with one hand on the trigger, one hand on the slider. However, the slider can be stiff and hard to pull back, particularly if the gun is new. 9/10

Capacity: The blaster can hold 6 darts at once and is easy to reload. In a Nerf war, you will have to keep reloading again and again which make get annoying and waste time. However, if you have other guns with you, this won't be such a problem. Otherwise, it loads easily with the barrel popping out. 7/10

General: Overall, the Maverick REV-6 is a good gun, despite the capacity and long-range problems, the gun fires well, has a great reliability and is good all-round. 8.2/10
