For anyone that picks these up, open it up, take out all the locks, and give the mechanisms some plastic safe lubrication. Remove the rear jam door above the magazine, and you can top off your magazine while you have a dart ready to fire! I spent a lot of time giving two of these some love over a decade ago, and I can pull them off the wall, load, and they shoot just as good now as ever. Even better, they are pretty forgiving on the elastic band, so you have tons of options on a new power source if needed.

Here’s a quick update about my crossbolt. I came to this video a while ago just to tell you about the crossbolt, but I didn’t do the technique you had the video. My crossbolt is actually a grey trigger copy, and I guess I have it because some Australian provinces have weird nerf gun laws. (I own orange trigger blasters, but some of my older nerf guns and some of the elite blasters I find on thrift stores have grey triggers.) After a while, my crossbolt kept jamming and jamming, and it was a shame because it was a really cool blaster. But then, when I did this trick (Winding the string around the bow wings to make the string tighter) it started shooting like it was brand new, and I was mindblown. The Crossbolt is an underrated blaster, sure, it’s a gimmicky band-powered blaster, but if I’m right, maybe band powered blasters are extremely sturdier and more durable than spring powered blasters because strings are designed to be stretchy. Well, until the string gets cut by something. But even then, you could probably just put in a new string (WHICH MIGHT BE EVEN TIGHTER THAN THE ORIGINAL STRING), and it will be fine.

There is a 3d printable arm replacement which swaps the arms for a minimized design, keeping the string no more than an inch away from the main body of the blaster. It works well with a custom string.

I have an old version of one of these. It doesn’t really shoot hard though, but it still functions. It jams sometimes, and many darts have become a victim due to it jamming, with little surviving darts. Only now did I realise that it can unjam easily just by touching the string a bit and firing it……
