When chambering full length darts, you gotta make sure the priming grip is actively pulled all the way back. The buffer spring pushes the dart pusher a little forward, right at the half length spot, so you gotta pull back the grip again if you primed and let go of the grip for full lengths

Cracked plunger tubes aren’t just from use, the one I ordered came in broken 😅 probably shippings fault, but still shows it’s flaw. Luckily target sent me another without me having to send mine back. A little JB weld and gorilla tape on the tube and it’s working now, so now I’ve got two to go through! Fun fact: On tear down, I noticed the grip is attached to picatinny rail! Will make grip swaps pretty convenient. Also to note, the blaster is slam fire (don’t know if drac mentioned it)

Removing 3 screws is all you need to swap the barrel and spring. Alongside a little dremel work, a talon claw length K25, a 45cm lynx barrel, and a worker scar this is by far the cheapest and simplest way to get a 250 fps primary. It's kinda crazy

17:20 You can fit 20 half-darts in that 15-darts mag. On the other hand, you can only fit 18 full darts in that 15-darts mag. But you are better with 19 and 17 to avoid jams. It is indeed not a bug nut a feature. Also, this thing feeds beautifully from the Buzbee 30-darts drum.

And by "entrance" as the gesture suggested, we mean "fisting" that Zuru is currently delivering to Nerf. For UK market this the only Dart Zone equivalent we can get without paying over $100 to get things imported. After playing with mods it really shows that it is inconsistent due to the plunger o-ring being very bad (classic Teflon tape helps a lot) and, especially after tefloning, the barrel length is insufficient.
