Step 3: New Locking Mech

Step 4: Locking and "Firing"

To lock it pull the blade down into the gun and the press the white rod down so that the white rod is being held in place by the orange connector, (see pic 1)

To fire press down on the white rod until the blade shoots out, (see pics 2, 3, and 4).
