I understand that, but I mean that I don't have the scientific explanation that still respects Newton's Three Laws of Motion. Second and Third laws. The forces on the dart are equal and opposite to the forces on the blaster using F=ma. There should be an imperceptible but measurable kickback when firing flywheel blasters. But remember, the "m" is very small and the "a" is nominal.
