How to Make a Maverick REV-6 with detchable clips, or as I call it, REV6A2.


The whole gun. Sidenote: the stock IS a bit short.

Front of Drum, w/o spinner.

Two Drums.

Back of drum, minus spinner.

Yellow: Body of Gun
Olive Drab: Rotator (Rear)/Pins/Pushers
Red: Spinners
Blue: Drum Mag
White: Nothing.
Image not to scale, even within itself.
First step: buy a sh*t load of mavericks, not only are they necessary for this, but before the mod, one can still dual wield them awesomely.
Step 2: Disassemble all of them, BE CAREFUL TO KEEP ONE STILL IN RUNNING CONDITION. Separate all the drum clips from the guns. Don't worry if some are different colors, they all work the same way. Put the working order one back together, and test. If the guns just seem to hate you, this mod might not be the one for you. Seriously, they can be picky as to who uses them. My brother, for one, can't fire a single shot without it jamming, I can fire all three clips in a row without a problem.
Step 3: Using a saw, cut off the front and back spinners EXCEPT THE CENTER RING. Do not break the center, or this mod may not work.
Step 4: Press the clip release button in and slide the clip into its usual place. If it doesn't fit A) you are using the wrong side of the gun, B) you have the clip backwards, or C) you failed to trim off enough of the spinners. If C) is the case, go back to Step 3.
Step 5(How to Reload): (This goes not only for initial testing but for reloading as well, so remember this Step.) When the clip feels like it should be in place, spin it. If it clicks while spinning, then the clip is correctly locked into the Rotator. If so, wiggle the clip, and try again (tip: check to see if the front pin is lined up. if not, the rear pin can't be.). After several unsuccessful tries, one might want to try removing the clip by hitting the Clip Release button and pulling the clip out, and try again.
Step 6 (Optional): If you want a gun like mine, first: go to your local hobby store, buy Camo duct tape in desired pattern (I used CADPAT), Second: go to a Disneyland and buy a Wookie Crossbow (seriously, i got mine there), cut off its stock and lastly tape the stock onto the gun with said duct tape (Tip: you may need spacers to keep the stock out of the way of the slide.
Step 7 (Troubleshooting): If the REV6A2 doesn't fire when the trigger is pulled, then the gun may not be cocked. If only a BANG noise is made when the clip is in and loaded, but no dart is fired, it may have had trouble rotating the chambers. The easiest solution to this is to rotate the barrels by hand.
