so i have taken the time to mod my nerf stryfe with a firefly body for a stock. i bought new elite suction cup darts and everytime i try to shoot them they jam up and grind in the fly wheels. basic mods of removing all locks and electrical devices though i ran the wires into a kill switch where the normal on off switch for the firefly would be. the wheels and everything run great just wondering if i am the only one with this issue? not sure if youtube video links for the blasters are allowed my apologies if they arent i am new and still learning but this is the video of my blaster. help appreciated

Your issue is likely the suction darts, try regular elite darts/ streamlines and report back.

seeings as the nonmodded stryfe i have( i bought them to akimbo them) works with the darts im going to assume the trouble is within the flywheels themselves?

[deathturtle]

Something like this happened to me before. Is it possible you wired a + to a - somewhere along the line? If you did, then the flywheels could be spinning backwards.

[bmanswan]

The flies wheels spin properly, they just don't register the darts. Instead, they fire up I pull the trigger and then the horrific grinding noise begins.  

[deathturtle]

So now I'm thinking it could be the plastic flaps that guide the dart in or you have something stuck in the barrel.

[bmanswan]

I've just checked both conditions still jamming... could the trigger pull be an issue?

[deathturtle]

Total guess here, but it might not be pushing the dart far enough in. Make sure it's assembled correctly.

Found the issue it isn't pushing the dart far enough unless I add more pressure which means I'll probably at some foam to reduce noise and turn it into a rifle. Seeings as it will not be much good for close quarters either way because it runs off of a kill switch. Possibly a voltage mod as well for distance?
