Introduction

A displaced or damaged firing spring could render your blaster futile in combat. Periodic replacement as a preventative maintenance strategy may allow you to avoid this unfortunate situation.

Modifying your blaster is not advised and may void the manufacturer’s warranty in certain states.

This blaster is equipped with a rifled barrel for maximum performance.

    • While holding the blaster, rotate the barrel assembly in the counter-clockwise direction and pull away from the blaster.

  2. tQvZKAeMqbwrNYED

    • Remove the stock of the blaster by pushing the orange tabs downward while pulling the stock away from the blaster.

  3. gGHnKJgDuAJpFEeE

    • Remove the magazine from the blaster by forcing the sliding mechanism backwards, pushing the orange tabs downward, and pulling the magazine away.

    What about a drum mag how do you remove that

    • Remove the stock attachment point by removing the two 8mm Phillips head screws.

    • Remove the eleven 8mm and two 10mm Phillips head screws from the left side of the blaster, and carefully remove the outer casing.

    • Two of the screws must be removed with the sliding mechanism in the forward position. Another two must be removed with the sliding mechanism in the back position.

    • There are several springs that may become displaced during this procedure. Proceed with the utmost caution.

    Itd be nice if we got a pic comparing the internals to an old yellow nerf recon (if you have one). I wonder how much changes between generations.

    Removed every screw and gun does not separate. not showing the seperation of the gun makes this tutorial completely useless.

    You have to remove the thing you use to ready it

    It would be nice if you could color-code where to put the 16mm, 10mm and 8mm screws. That way, you don’t wind up damaging the screw post or stripping a screw by trying to insert a 10mm screw into a post meant for an 8mm one.

    it's very helpful that the troubleshooting for slider won't move backwards goes to "Another two must be removed with the sliding mechanism in the back position." How, just how do you do that if it's jammed

    please help if you can

    definitely not angry at the troubleshooting page

    • Carefully pull the orange trigger upward and backward to remove it from the blaster.

    • This component is under spring pressure. Wear appropriate personal protective equipment to shield your eyes.

    • Remove the spring from the rear of the trigger.

Conclusion

To reassemble your device, follow these instructions in reverse order.
