HFCBE - Nerf Maverick REV-6

A classic old blaster I absolutely despise, the Maverick is a simple 6 shot revolver. Being a six shot revolver, there is an expectation that you can quick-fire and quick draw it as you'd see in cowboy movies and all that. So just how well does the Maverick perform in this way?
