5. Operating the Blaster
5.1. Powering On and Firing
The HyperFire Blaster features a motorized firing mechanism. Proper operation is key to preventing jams and ensuring continuous firing.
- Engage the Flywheel: Press and hold the lower acceleration trigger (flywheel trigger) to power up the motor. Wait approximately one second for the flywheel to reach full speed.
- Fire Darts: While holding the acceleration trigger, press the upper firing trigger to launch darts. The blaster will fire darts rapidly as long as both triggers are held and darts are available.
- Stop Firing: To stop firing, first release the upper firing trigger. Then, after a brief moment (approximately one second), release the lower acceleration trigger. This sequence helps prevent darts from jamming in the mechanism.

6. Maintenance
6.1. Cleaning
Wipe the blaster with a clean, damp cloth. Do not submerge the blaster in water or use harsh chemicals, as this can damage the electronic components.
6.2. Dart Care
Always use clean, undamaged Official Elite Darts. Darts that are bent, torn, or excessively dirty can lead to poor performance and jamming. Store darts in a clean, dry place.
6.3. Battery Care
Remove batteries from the blaster when not in use for extended periods to prevent battery leakage and corrosion, which can damage the blaster's electronics.
