Vai al passo 1

If your Nerf Blaster latches and releases when you pull the trigger, but doesn't fire the dart, the O-ring might be ripped and need replacing. This guide will show you how to disassemble your Nite Finder so that you can replace the O-ring and the plunger.

==Caution==

Be aware of springs under compression. Take care so these small parts do not fly off the blaster and get lost.

Attempting to glue the plunger will most likely result in a bad O-ring seal causing the blaster to not function correctly.
The best course of action would be to obtain an new plunger and replace it.
