I'm really into nerf. I have the spectre, and used to have a recon. I'm so far into it at the moment, that I'm considering purchasing a pair of foam Tonfa (Police Batons) to be used in Nerf Wars hosted by me and my friends. We use a large variety of weaponry, from clubs to 10-dart drummed machine guns. I'm the resident sharpshooter, so I use mostly larger-barrelled guns, or smaller concealed weapons. I prefer the spectre over the maverick because the spectre is easier to carry and is alot lighter. As soon as I get my Tonfa, though, I'll pretty much use those only. I like how Nerf has turned from using a ball that was squishy into warfare with weaponry from a dagger and shield to a sniper rifle.
