I saw a picture of the Nerf Maverick while poking around on someone else's friends page (I think it was ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
redneckgaijin's), and snagged one on sale today at Target for seven bucks. It rocks. The grip is sized for adult hands, and it's basically a short-barrelled .40 Nerf revolver with an impressively big cylinder that can be popped out for loading (and snapped back in by flicking your wrist). Only one shot per pull-back of the spring, but it fires pretty forcefully. About a 9-10 inch drop when fired from about 16 feet. Each pull of the trigger rotates the six-shot cylinder and (if primed) fires. It has the mandatory orange barrel tip, but is otherwise mostly dark blue and golden yellow, not too tacky as Nerf goes. It has a nice heft, weighing about a pound (0.44 kg), and the total length is 11" (28cm). There's a little clip for attaching it to another new Nerf gun, but it looks stupid if you do so.
Addendum: the rear half actually looks more like an automatic pistol, a la the Browning 1911. The cylinder is where the barrel normally would be.
