The EXACT same thing happened to me. The dart post flew out, then a few shots later, part of the AR popped out. The AR was permanently closed, and it didn't fire darts anymore.

The good news is it's easy to fix, and you're going to get significantly improved performance. Butterfly it, take a picture, remove the plunger tube, take a wood chisel or a sharp screwdriver, and work out the remaining parts of the Air Restrictor. Give it a lube, reassemble, and go have fun. It should get 101+ FPS with much improved accuracy. You're really going to like it.

It's not manditory with the stock spring, but you might want to pad the plunger while you've got it apart. If you upgrade the spring later on, padding is a MUST.
