Firing
Automatically:
Hold the handle and shake the gun up and down. To fire more accurately, shake gently. To fire rapidly, shake it move vigorously.
Semi automatically:
1) Hold the bottom of the gun with your other hand and pull the trigger .The trigger is not supposed to move. Pulling it causes the handle to move.
2) Reset the handle by moving the bottom of the gun backward.

Do u have to cut the yellow one
Reply 10 years ago on Introduction
Cutting the yellow connector is optional. It's not necessary, but it would jam less often.

Wait, do you have to load rubber bands BEFORE you stick everything onto the "skeleton"?
Reply 10 years ago on Introduction
Unless you can find a way to load the gun whit the outer shell on, then yes, you will have to load it before attaching the shell. It works perfectly fine without the shell, but won't look like the Halo plasma rifle
