I own a Barricade, and I really like it. Sadly, it's obsolete at this point because its flywheels can't reliably accept Elites. The trigger also gets stuck a lot, and I remember that was the case when I first got it in 2011. And back then, its flywheels were probably not very good either. For its time, I would say it is flagship worthy, but sadly its competition was tough at the time, with blasters like the Alpha Trooper and Deploy also released in 2010, and there was also the Clear Series and Sonic Series. Eventually all of those blasters got the "flagship" title stolen by a bigger, badder blaster released in the same year.
