I have small problem with my son's Tri Strike: It fires fine for the first 3 shots but when it gets to the fourth one it fizzles out. Sometimes, the fourth one actually flies out or comes out a little when one of the other ones are fired.

By the time we get to the fourth one of three things will happen- 1) it actually fires normally (super rare). 2) It fires out but goes a very short distance (rare) and 3) It's out a little already from firing the other shots and if we try to pump the handle it will go normally when we push it forward but when we pull it back it's like there is excess air in the pump and the pump can only be pulled back slowly because of all the air pressure inside (most of the time).

Has anyone here experienced this problem and if so how do you go about fixing it? Please help, my son loves this thing and while he doesn't seem to be bothered too much by this I still want make this nerf gun as enjoyable for him as possible. I really need help with this and if there is any more details you guys need to help me fix this problem please let me know and I will provide as much info as possible. Thank you.

PS I am pretty good at taking things apart and putting them back together and I did take apart the pump handle for the front piece last night but I don't know what I was staring at. I did seem to be able to figure out how the piece works mechanically but if you guys know a definite fix please let me know. Thanks again.
