Even though i don't own one of these, i have a friend who has one that he lets me use. Despite the complaints, the crossbolt is a ton of fun. You will be surprised, my nephew loves it and only wants to play with this one.

Blaster uses the elastic of the crossbow for its power. Works well, mag loads fine and the power and range is best out of the five nurf guns we have.

The range is the best i've seen, and i haven't had any of the jamming issues that others have reported. It is the most accurate blater in my arsenal, and it never jams on me.

Here are a list of alternatives i would recommend:1. Returning this junk. Anything in english is so small and insignificant that it would fit on a postage stamp. Horrible quality, horrible quality. Hassle and expense.

The first major drawback of this gun is the jamming. Even through the access doors it is extremely difficult to de-jam the bullets. It jams frequently and is very difficult to in jam.

It jams repeatedly, and as others have said, you'll need to use scissors to cut out the jammed dart. Three darts were destroyed in no time trying to unjam them. It keep jamming and its ruining my darts.
