Review: Nerf Elite Spectre REV-5

The Elite Spectre REV-5 is an Elite remake of the old N-Strike Spectre REV-5. The N-Strike Spectre was welcomed as a decent blaster as it fixed many of the flaws that the other revolver, the Maverick, suffered from. However, the release of the Elite Strongarm has also solved many of the Maverick's problems, so does the Elite Spectre still have a place as an Elite revolver?

HFCBE - Nerf Spectre REV-5

The Spectre REV-5 is in a sense a replacement for the Maverick, with a far more reliable rotation system which rotates on prime. This however results in misrotations of primed too quickly. With the rotation slip mech glued together to avoid this, can the Spectre match the Maverick's ROF?

Not quite. With less than a 0.3dps difference, the Spectre can nearly match the Maverick's ROF, but not quite beat it. Nevertheless the Spectre is far superior to the Maverick.

Time: 1.63
No. darts: 5
ROF: 2.45dps or 147.2dpm

Nerf Spectre REV-5 Review

The Spectre REV-5 is Nerf's attempt to make a stealth orientated blaster. It comes with a silencer, folding stock and 5 darts. The silencer has a short, refled barrel, not unlike the one in the Recon's barrel. It looks seriously awesome but serves no real purpose. Now here's the stupid part. The Spectre comes with 5 whistler darts. Because the silencer doesn't actually silence darts, this is really quite an oxymoron.
