I have a Jyn Erso, so I guess that makes me the resident expert, if there is such a thing 😉 But the short answer is the stock Jyn requires batteries. No way around it. It is afterall, a flywheel blaster.

In a flywheel blaster, there are two motors, each having a flywheel that turns in opposite directions, which grab the darts and fling them out the barrel.

On modern blasters there are typically two triggers, one revs up the motors, the other is hooked to a pusher mechanism that slides the darts into the flywheel cage.

Load your magazine, rev it up, squeeze the trigger, and voilà. It's just that simple.

Oh, and did I mention they can be modified ???
