Nerf Clip (Mag) Fed Barricade w/ Video

Between me and one of my friends, we have 4 Barricades. So naturally, I decided to do a clip (mag) mod for one of mine.

The Rayven is more powerful (can support 4x14500s), more comfortable, has a weaker trigger pull (easier to fire) and is cooler. I'll be sticking with my Rayven, thanks.
The Barricade, however, can support a stock (can use Recon stock which holds extra clip (mag), or adjustable Raider/Barricade stock), is smaller (and thus more sidearm viable), cheaper (even with the clip [mag] mod), and has a certain visual appeal.
In the end, it's all personal preference. Because of the way I clip (mag) modded my Barricade, it's less comfortable to use than the Rayven (trigger pull and clip [mag] loading), as well as the Rayven looking cooler and supporting barrel extensions (more fun to play around with than stocks). If I had done a better job on the Barricade, the only deciding factor would be that the Rayven is smaller than a clip (mag) fed Barricade with stock, as well as looks cooler, so I'd take the Rayven.

Ranges unknown, but with 2 14500s look to be 15+m (50+ft). With 3 it doesn't work (motors cut out).

Dual Wield Barricades (Take 2)

I redid the Dual Barricade video because it was a little dark, so I was forced to video a small room rather than show you the actual power of the Barricades.
EDIT: Please don't use Trustfires, use eFest, AW or Windyfire IMRs.

Dual Wield Barricades + iTouch Mount

A simple vid showcasing my iTouch on a Tactical Rail mount i made using a Recon light, a saw, a few bits of aluminium and some hot glue.
Also showcases the fun you can have with 2 Barricades and 4 Trustfire 14500 batteries.
EDIT: Please don't use Trustfires, use IMRs instead. eFest, Windyfire and AW are reputable IMR brands.

No official ranges, but should be 60ft+.

I'm going to redo the vid, so you can see the darts in flight. I'll also do a range test during that.

Nerf Barricade & Reflex usage tips

Barricade:
1) Pull the trigger hard, and all the way. Jamming in this blaster is hard to fix and damages your darts. Pulling the trigger properly drastically reduces the chance of jams.
2) Don't forget that the jam door turns off the motors. Make sure it is closed when you try to fire it.
3) Have a stock - this will improve your accuracy slightly, and helps you cope with the slight recoil. If you're dual wielding, don't bother because it'll just impede your mobility.
4) Don't use Streamline darts - they don't fire very far.
5) Don't forget that Whistler/Sonic Micro darts can curve, and more so at higher voltages.
6) To reload easily, open the jam door, and pull the trigger to advance the barrel. This compensates for the inability to flip-out the barrel or remove the barrel. Alternatively, mod your Barricade in such a way that you can swap barrels when you need to reload (not easy, but possible. NMR has done one)
7) Learn to spray/spam. The Barricade's semi auto nature, coupled with it's high capacity for a sidearm, lends it to being used as a rapid fire sidearm rather than a precision pistol. Dual Barricades provide 20 darts of rapid fire close range spray. That sort of fire can dissuade just about anyone.

Voltage/Ranges:
3.6v: 10m
4.5v: 13m
6.1v: 15-20m
8.6v: 22m+
12.6v: Not tested properly, but very, very far.

Reflex:
1) Push the darts in all the way, to the point when the tip is squished in the orange barrel tip. This ensures the AR is open as much as possible, providing maximum power and air seal.
2) Stick with Whistler darts - they perform the best in the Reflex.
3) Don't be afraid to use the Reflex. Just because it's a single-shot last-stand type blaster doesn't mean you have to run out of ammo first to be able to use it.
4) Don't go crazy with the Reflex. It's a single shot and you'll get completely owned by just about everything else.

The Reflex is quite fool-proof, being a single-shot, but the Barricade can have jamming issues.

Nerf Barricade RV-10 Review

This is a first for Nerf, the Barricade being 'flywheel' powered. Basically, this means that two wheels spin very fast not very far apart, so the dart gets caught in between the two flywheels and gets thrown forward. Because the flywheels are vertical, as opposed to horizontal (as you find in Buzz Bee stuff), there is less spray, more accuracy and occasionally more range. Obviously, because it's electronically powered, the higher the voltage, the more powerful the blaster is. And the more annoying the noise is.
