Towards the bottom of the Nerf gun is the battery compartment door. It has only one screw holding the door closed. Using the J1 head from the 64 Bit Kit, you can remove the screw and compartment door. Observe the 6 “C” batteries and replace batteries. The Nerf gun should now fire. If your Nerf Gun does not fire, continue to troubleshoot.

Disassemble Nerf Dart Tag Swarmfire using the J1 head from the 64 Bit Kit to remove screws. Place any loose screws on the magnetic project mat to prevent misplacing them.

You will see a spherical plastic shell encasing the metal spring inside. Remove spring and replace.
