standardized rating system[]
Why is it that both the Spectre and the Maverick have the same listed firing rate, yet the Spectre has 2 pts higher (8/10) vs the Maverick's firing rate (6/10)? Both fire "2-3 darts per second" if using both hands. Moreover, there has GOT to be an objective means of measuring accuracy. What if we had a standard distance to target (say, 20ft?) and fired 10 shots at the target, with no wind and say, Whistler darts used for the regular blasters and streamlines for the clip system blasters? We could use the results to measure accuracy. Jeebers76
Actually, the Spectre has a higher firing rate, because the distance required for the priming handle to move in order to cock the spectre is shorter than that of the maverick, which means that more shots can be fired in a faster amount of time. Accuracy can't have a basis because it depends on the condition of the dart, type of dart, and modifications to the dart...etc. Vortex Praxis 23:49, December 20, 2011 (UTC)
Yes, it can. Assume a fresh stock dart.97.88.52.141 07:39, August 26, 2012 (UTC)
"secret compartment"?[]
I've looked this thing over top to bottom (not that it's even that big) and I don't see ANY secret compartment of any kind. There's a detail on the stock that looks like a door cover, but it's just a molding detail. If it's not actually there, I think this detail needs to be removed fr the rating section. Otherwise, mention it somewhere in the main body of the article. --96.225.147.38 02:45, August 26, 2012 (UTC)
"This blaster holds five darts at once. But there is a secret compartment where you can add a another dart. This is rather lacking, given that most other revolvers on the market have at least six shots. This cripples the blasters capabilities as a primary weapon considerably." It's under Capacity in the review. --96.225.147.38 23:42, August 26, 2012 (UTC)
- Apparently someone believed that it could hold an extra dart in the handle, like the Alpha Trooper and many other blasters released around the same time as the AT. I have edited the article to match its true dart capacity. Thank you for pointing this out. Jet [Talk • Contributions] 23:53, August 26, 2012 (UTC)
If you mod your spectre you need to have good attachments. I would combine the stockade stock with it since it holds 5 darts on each side, and I would also just keep the normal barrel because any other barrel will screw it up.

- Supposedly there should be one coming out soon. I forgot which one, but a blog reported that recently along with some of the Toy Fair news.

Commercial?[]
Did nerf ever make a commercial for the Spectre?
Higher quality picture[]
Does anyone have a higher quality picture for the Spectre? Unfortunately I can't find a higher resolution one on google. It's been lost to time + buried by pictures of the ICON Series. RainBroSix7 (talk) 13:33, 18 July 2022 (UTC)
- We do seem to have this version of the image in the file's history, which is a bit larger than the current one, though it does not have the stock folded out. Should we switch to this one for the time being, while we see if we can find/recover an image like the current one?
- I would personally keep the stock image as it is because it displays the entire blaster and I believe it's also the official stock image, although it is very low res. But you're the Admin so it's your call. Maybe we can put the one with the folded stock in the gallery so that people will at least be able to see a higher quality image of it.

- Sure, I'll upload it as a separate file and add it to the gallery. I'll try and do some searching to see if I can't get my hands on a larger image through, say, the Wayback Machine in the next few days.
- Thank you JetCell! There's gotta be at least something that can be found.
