Nerf N-Strike Elite Strongarm: Darts not firing at full capacity

Thu, 22 Aug 2019 09:42:30 -0700

I have 2 strongarms. Sometime ago they were dropped down a flight of carpeted steps. Ever since then, they don't fire at full capacity. Out of the six darts, one or two might work as they should. I have dissassembled it, and nothing looks damaged, yet they still don't work right. Why could this be? Is something out of alignment?

I had my strong arm for a while and I can’t figure out why when I shoot it the barrel won’t turn and also it creates a loud sound when I shoot it. Very rarely would the barrel turn when I shoot, what should I do?

Nerf N-Strike Elite Strongarm: My strongarms trigger feels too tight in single fire

Thu, 04 Feb 2021 15:24:35 -0700

i bought my strongarm a few days ago and i must say it is a great gun. it even works flawlessly with the ranges to be expected. the slam firing works seemlessly and im happy about it. but when i try single fire the trigger is very tight so its almost impossible to shoot with 1 finger. you have to press back reallly hard for the gun to shoot. but if i havent pulled back the slide before pulling the trigger, then the trigger isnt that tight at all. the problem is only when i have pulled back the slide until it clicks and then i try to shoot . but it does shoot the problems is i need a lot of force to shoot it, which i dont find normal.

thank you

Fri, 10 Mar 2017 11:40:38 -0700

Hi, I recently purchased a Nerf N-Strike Elite Strongarm and it spins freely while it is locked in place. So if I use my hand and spin it, it spins like if it is a wheel. And it does not rotate automatically after firing one dart. Please help!

Nerf N-Strike Elite Strongarm: My blaster only lets me single-fire if I hold it upside-down.

Sat, 06 Oct 2018 17:46:11 -0700

Hi, I have a problem with my Strongarm, if I hold it in a normal position, single-fire DOES NOT work, the blaster will automatically slam-fire. I had a thought that the single/slam-fire mechanism might be jammed on slam-fire, until I turned the blaster upside-down. The blaster only single-fires if the blaster is held upside-down. I am unsure how to fix it.

Nerf N-Strike Elite Strongarm: What size spring is used for part of the trigger mechanism?

Thu, 12 Jul 2018 17:12:31 -0700

So there is a part in the strongarm trigger mechanism that is meant to hold the main spring in a cocked position. Its that thingy that you can see from the tiny window in the back of the gun. The spring responsible for returning that part to the upright position in my gun is a little warped and I would like to know its size so I can replace it. The stupid thing comes flying out every time I open up the gun and its only a matter of time before I lose it or break it. Any help would be appreciated.

Nerf N-Strike Elite Strongarm: Broken spring piston chamber piece

Wed, 20 Sep 2017 17:00:46 -0700

On my son's Nerf Strongarm gun, an internal piece has broken. It appears that the "T" bar at the back end of the spring piston chamber, which connects to the cocking mechanism, broke off. Doesn't appear it will glue back together, nor hold together once back in use.

Any suggestions on fixing this, finding a spare/replacement spring piston chamber, or other solution?
