I managed to get hold of a Nerf Sonic Series Maverick REV-6 on a recent trip overseas, so here are some photos of it.
The Sonic Series Maverick has basically the same design and mechanisms as the other Nerf Maverick variants, except that it has a translucent green colored casing.

This pistol-sized blaster uses a flywheel powered system to launch foam darts in semi-auto. It features 2 spinning flywheels positioned in a vertical layout with a 10-dart revolving barrel.
The Barricade requires 3 x AA batteries (sold separately) to operate. Simply engage the On/Off switch and the flywheels start spinning.
Every trigger pull fires one shot in a semi-auto sequence, a "dart pusher" behind the barrel pushes a foam dart in between the 2 spinning flywheels, then the flywheels will catch the tip of the foam dart and "throw" it out of the barrel. It operates on a similar principle to a tennis ball launcher.
Unlike the Maverick, the Barricade's barrel does not flip out for dart loading, it is reloaded by manually rotating the barrels and loading in the foam darts individually.
The Barricade has a top tactical rail and shoulder stock attachment point which are compatible with most N-Strike blaster accessories.
It is packaged with 10 x Sonic Darts. Note that Streamline darts don't work as well in the Barricade as their tips are too narrow to allow for a proper launch grip between the 2 flywheels.
Average stock range is around 25-30ft.
Available at Toys R Us and most major dept stores in Singapore. Retail Price: SGD$34.90.

The Alpha Trooper is a magazine-fed blaster with a spring powered reverse plunger system. It uses a pump action priming mechanism via a front shotgun style grip. Similar to the Nerf Raider.
It comes with an 18-dart drum magazine, this is a smaller version of the Raider 35-dart drum magazine and it provides good ammo capacity in a more compact form factor. This 18-dart drum magazine is also compatible with the other N-Strike clip system based blasters too.
This blaster also has the "Slam Fire" mode capability. Hold down the trigger, then pump the front grip repeatedly to fire a constant stream of foam darts, the rate-of-fire (RoF) will depend on how fast you pump the front grip.
The Alpha Trooper is packaged with 18 x streamline darts. Its average firing range is approx. 30ft.
Available at Toys R Us and most major dept stores in Singapore. Retail Price: SGD$49.90.
