4.2 Firing the Blaster
Once darts are loaded, pull the bolt-action handle back and then push it forward to prime the blaster and chamber a dart. Aim at your target and pull the trigger to fire. Repeat the priming action for each subsequent shot.
5. Maintenance
5.1 Cleaning
To maintain optimal performance, regularly wipe down the blaster with a dry cloth. Avoid using water or cleaning solutions directly on the internal mechanisms.
5.2 Dart Care
Inspect darts for damage before use. Bent or torn darts may affect accuracy and blaster performance. Store darts in a clean, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent degradation.
6. Troubleshooting
6.1 Dart Jamming
If a dart jams, ensure the blaster is not primed. Carefully open any access points (if available) or gently remove the jammed dart from the barrel or clip. Always ensure darts are fully inserted into the clip and are not damaged.
If darts are consistently failing to feed, check the indexing clip for any obstructions or damage. Ensure the bolt-action mechanism is fully cycled each time.
