The IonFire, an example of a breech-loaded and primed blaster.īreech-action is a variant of the slide-action priming style. The Nerf SlingFire's lever is built into its handle, making it effective for use with one hand. Users can flip the blaster down and back up, using the weight of the blaster to prime the lever, although this may cause strain to the lever. The SLAB is another exception its trigger moves with the lever, allowing it to be held down while priming to enable slam fire.Ĭertain lever-action blasters can be dual-wielded, due to the location of the lever. The Scravenger is the exception to this, avoiding this issue by adding a separate slam fire selector switch. Lever-action blasters with their levers on the bottom of the grip often do not feature any slam fire capabilities since the user would not be able to hold down the trigger while priming the blaster. These levers are often located under the grip, but can also be located on the side of the blaster, as is the case with the Diatron. Lever-action is a priming style involving pulling back and pushing forward a lever. The SlingFire, an example of a lever-action blaster. Some blasters, such as the Nerf Lynx SD-1, ShellStrike DS-6, or the X-Shot Vigilante appear to be break-action, but have a separate means of priming (such as pump-action or slide-action). Darts are loaded inside one of these halves, and it is folded back up into place and ready to fire them. The SledgeFire, an example of a break-action blaster.īreak-action, also known as hinge-action, is a priming style that involves the blaster "breaking" open, creating two halves of a blaster or barrel. Types of priming mechanisms Break-action They are more ergonomic and durable than the original plastic hammers.
Conversions can be performed on some blasters, making a blaster have a different priming style altogether this is more traditionally done to transform bolt-action blasters to pump-action, through a homemade or 3D-printed converter.įor hammer-action blasters, there are metal aftermarket replacement hammers that can replace the stock hammer, and usually come with a replacement catch as well. There are various modifications that can be performed on a blaster's priming mechanism, such as adding material for a better grip. a pump handle or lever handle) which allows the user to prime the blaster. Almost all mechanisms use some sort of priming handle (e.g. There are many different versions of priming mechanisms, and the mechanism used differs from blaster to blaster. As its name would suggest, priming mechanisms are involved in the priming process of a blaster, readying it to be fired.
