Template:NerfTab The Stockade is a Nerf blaster that was released on August 1, 2012[1] under the N-Strike Elite series.
It comes packaged with a detachable shoulder stock, ten Elite Darts and instructions. It requires three AA batteries to operate.
The Stockade will be released in the US in Fall 2013 as a Walmart exclusive. [2]
Details
It is a semi-automatic flywheel blaster that has a ten dart rotating barrel. The detachable stock can hold an additional ten Elite Darts. The Stockade only has one tactical rail, which is located on top of the blaster.
The power switch is located on the left side of the blaster, under the battery compartment. [3] The blaster also features a jam door which allows for quick and easy access if a dart jam occurs. The blaster automatically turns off if the jam door is opened.
The Stockade has a smaller space between the flywheels, which causes more friction on the darts. This allows darts to shoot further.
History
The Stockade is a successor to the N-Strike Barricade RV-10. When it is released in the US, it will also be replacing the Spectre REV-5 as Walmart's exclusive blaster.
Reloading and firing
To reload the Stockade, first turn off the power to the blaster by flipping the power switch/safety lock. Load up to ten darts in the blaster's turret. Turn the blaster back on and pull the trigger to fire.
Try to restrict turning on the power switch to only when firing or preparing to fire. This will preserve battery power and playing time.
This blaster will not accept Micro Darts due to their dart heads being too big to fit into the flywheels.

- The instruction manuals show the Stockade using Whistler Darts even though it comes with Elite Darts.
- This is the first revolver to come packaged with darts that are clip system compatible.
