How do Nerf guns work?

Answer 1

You pull the trigger

Answer 2

There are 2 tubes inside the gun, one hollow, one with a cap on the end, which holds the hollow one. Also, on the capped end of the capped tube, there is a spring, in general, the larger and springier the spring, the more powerful the gun is. When you cock the gun, the capped tube gets pulled backwards, creating empty space between the cap of the capped tube, and the end of the hollow tube. The end-cap getting pulled back, also compresses the aforementioned spring. When you pull the trigger, a catch on the capped tube is released, allowing the spring to decompress, and push the air in the space between the end of the capped tube and the hollow tube through the hollow tube, and onto the dart, pushing it forward, and out of the gun.

To explain a little clearer when u pull back the cocking mechanism, it pulls back the barrel which compresses the spring, Got that, next the barrel catches on to a sear and locks when the trigger is pulled it moves the sear so the barrel moves forward. Air is pushed out and the dart launches out.

Let me expand a bit. Basically, there are 7 main components, the plunger, the plunger tube, the catch mech, the barrel, the spring, and the dart. The plunger is pulled back until it hooks, or "catches" on the catch mechanism. This creates space within the plunger tube. When the trigger is pulled, the catch is released, compressing all of the air inside the plunger tube. This air is now at pressure several times that of normal, creating force on the back of the dart. The dart is pushed out of the barrel. This is how direct-plungers, like the Nitefinder work. The guy above me described inverse plungers, which are in stuff like the recon.

Now, hold onto your hats, because I'm about to lay some technical crap all up in here.

In a perfect world, there would be no air escaping either behind the plunger our out past the dart. This would allow for maximum pressure at the time the dart starts to leave the barrel. However, the dart-to-barrel seal is never perfect and the plunger to plunger tube seal is rarely perfect, especially in unmodified blasters. This causes air escape and lower pressure, thus resulting in lower ranges.

With regard to springs- what the stronger spring does is compress the air faster, achieving more air compression before the dart has a chance to start moving in the barrel. This creates higher pressure because you are keeping the air in a tighter space. Keep in mind that when the dart starts to move, it creates room for the air to expand and reduces pressure.

Answer 3

A Nerf gun works by using a burst of air to push the darts out of the barrel.

Here's how it is accomplished:

IN every Nerf gun, there is a barrel, a plunger covering it, and a spring behind the plunger. When the slide or bolt is pulled back, A notch on the plunger catches on a retaining clip which is placed behind the plunger. The retaining clip holds the plunger in place, a dart is inserted/put in front of the barrel, and the slide or bolt is brought forward. A piece of plastic block the barrel until the slide is completely forward, which pushes the dart into the barrel. This only is found in guns that use clips.

The spring behind the plunger wants to push it forward, but the retaining clip won't let it. when the retaining clip is pushed up, the plunger is released, and it shoots forward, pushing air through the barrel and also pushing the dart out.

the retaining clip is released by the trigger, which has a slant on it that pushes the clip up.

Answer 4

If you are referring to the Nerf N-Strike Unity Power System, commonly shortened to just the N-Strike, is a 3-in-1 blaster set that comes with one Titan AS-V rocket launcher, one Hornet AS-6 six-shot rapid fire blaster and one Scout IX-3, a pocket weapon that can be fired two different ways. It acts as one giant blaster when the Hornet is attached to the bottom of the blaster, and the Scout t o the side.

Answer 5

It's simple. Just insert 6 Clip-system Darts into a clip and insert it into the clip-holder of a Nerf gun that uses clips (such as a Longstrike gun, longshot gun, or deploy gun).

Answer 6

they work with magic
