The whole design is so bad. Bullet stuck most of the time. Pull the handle to shoot is the worst ever. The scope will not stay on the blaster. All and all, 0 star if I could

Bought two for two children, opened the first and the darts will not load into the pressure chamber and thus the gun does not function at all. Closer examination indicates that the base of each foam dart is slightly too large to fit into the pressure chamber and the dart is not held with enough tension. The dart just gets pushed into the barrel loosely without sealing off. It must go half way into the chamber in order to be shot out. If you are stuck with this toy, pull the cocking handle back and then bop it rather firmly and you might get it to work part of the time. You could try to taper the back of the darts a bit if you are an adult and can do so safely, but if you change the diameter too much or for too great a length, you will not be able to launch it either. I returned both units because they are defective in design and will not function as promised.

I bought this gun for my son and one for a friend. The darts split in half or peel after 1-2 uses! They are cheaply made, and the design is poorly done. The top piece kept falling off and it was totally frustrating. We threw them out in less than a week. I only paid like $6-7 each, and I would not pay $1 for these again. We replaced it with the Nerf Nitefinder, and it was a hit, and very durable- I would recommend buying that instead!
