The Spectre supports all N-Strike accessories for barrel extension, stocks and for use with the tactical rails. Performance-wise it's impressive- I've said it before, but with all of the new N-Strike blasters that they seem to be better made or with better springs or SOMETHING- because their accuracy, power and range are just much better than the older blasters. The Spectre does come with tactical rails for attachments, but rather than putting them on top of the primer, they are closer to above the barrel. To prime the Spectre, it uses a springloaded cock at the top of the blaster-it's closer to the front of the blaster rather than the back like the Maverick. In the hand, the Spectre feels very nice to hold, however the grip IS very short and while I have small hands, it might be an issue for anyone who can hold a basketball with one hand:) It's long enough to use both hands for stability, but to be honest there's not a whole lot of blaster to hold on to without touching/disrupting the barrel. ![]() Loading the barrel is simple and can be done with all varieties of Nerf dart. It has a button on the left hand side of the blaster to push the barrel out unlike the Maverick the barrel extends all the way (it does "spin" for about a quarter turn but not all the way around for you dumb ass Deer Hunter-esque wannabes). The Spectre's 5 round barrel is quite small and with squarer lines to make it sit flatter when you place the blaster down. Out of the box, (and it's a relatively compact box with the same grumpy looking kid on the front) it comes with the blaster, the "silencer" attachment, the foldable stock and 5 whistler darts. The Spectre REV-5 definitely gets it's visual cues from stealth based, covert ops movies and video games. Think more Sam Fisher in Splinter Cell. The decision to make the Spectre's barrel a 5 round one is to keep the blaster small and less intrusive. Even the name of the blasters themselves suggests different design themes- 'Maverick' suggests a much more blatant and open reckless 6-shooter wild west tilt, compared to 'Spectre'- silent, hidden, a ghost. In regards to aesthetics and styling, The Maverick is a thicker, more aggressive in-your-face looking blaster compared to the much flatter, sleeker lines of the Spectre. It's been speculated that the Spectre REV-5 is an update on the tried and true Maverick REV-6 but with one less shot but personally I'd have to disagree. With Splinter Cell and Metal Gear Solid being big fav's of mine (other than Army of Two!) this blaster was hopefully going to satisfy my "sneak attack" tilt:) It has been the one elusive blaster I couldn't get ( I even got my hands on a Barricade RV-10!). The Nerf N-Strike Spectre REV-5 is a new release blaster for 2010- exclusive to Walmart in the US for an October release, but it has been released in Asia with reports from Hong Kong, Singapore, Malaysia already. ![]() The full image gallery for Spectre REV-5 (N-Strike) may be viewed at Spectre REV-5 (N-Strike)/Gallery.Nerf Spectre REV-5. This is not the case on the physical blaster. The packaging and instructions show the Spectre with a slightly larger cylinder, with darts tucked inside it.The packaging for the Spectre REV-5 depicts it firing Sonic Micro Darts, rather than Whistler Darts.Because it was compatible with Whistler Darts and Micro Darts, its barrel extension had a wider inner diameter. The Spectre was the first non-clip system blaster to feature compatibility with barrel extensions.The Spectre was re-released into the N-Strike Elite series in 2013 with an upgrade to its internals to be able to fire the standard seventy-five feet that other N-Strike Elite blasters can fire. Despite this, a Whiteout Spectre was not produced. In 2011, a mock-up of a Whiteout Series Spectre when the sub-series was first announced. The Spectre is notably not an ideal blaster for people who are left handed, due to the cylinder dropping out to the left and the way the included stock folds up. There is also a strap point built into the handle. It features compatibility with detachable shoulder stocks and barrel extensions.Ī single tactical rail sits atop the blaster. The cylinder can also be swung out of the blaster by pressing a button on the left side of the Spectre. The Spectre is a revolver-style blaster with a five- dart cylinder that advances on the prime. ![]()
