Sounds like you have a bad pusher. The RapidStrike/Stratohawk has a feature that applies extra voltage when the firing trigger is pulled. It's a way to compensate for decreased range while firing in full auto mode. The rev trigger brings the flywheels to about 85% speed, then the firing trigger brings it up to 100%.

If you're hearing the increase in flywheel speed, but no darts, then the pusher isn't injecting darts into the flywheel cage. If it's a brand new blaster, then get a replacement. There's nothing you can do that won't void your warranty. Just take it back.
