Star-Lord Quad Blaster

The Star-Lord Quad Blaster is a Nerf blaster that was released in 2014 to promote the Guardians of the Galaxy film.

It comes packaged with four Elite Darts.

Details
The muzzle-loading Star-Lord Quad Blaster features four barrels, two of which are covered up by extra plastic shells. The blaster features intelligent air restrictors, similar to that of the Triad EX-3. It has two triggers: a firing trigger up top and a secondary trigger below, which flips back the outer shells, uncovering the top-most and bottom-most darts. The blaster's priming slides are located at the back, on top and on bottom of the blaster.

It advertises a firing range of up to twenty-five feet (seven meters).

Reloading and firing
To reload the Star-Lord Quad Blaster, load up to four darts into the barrels from the muzzle. If necessary, pull the bottom trigger to reveal the two hidden barrels for loading, then close the outer barrels again.

Pull back both small priming slides to prime the blaster. Pull the top firing trigger to fire the two inner darts. Pull the bottom trigger to reveal the two hidden barrels for firing. Cycle both slides again and pull the upper trigger to launch both outer darts.

It is possible to fire from only the upper or lower barrels by cycling only the matching slide.

The Star-Lord Quad Blaster has difficulty firing Micro Darts (and other related darts) because they are slightly too heavy, and as a result the mechanism to direct the air pressure to only one barrel will fail. Due to the space between the barrel and the cover, the secondary dart will be partially ejected, unless it is a Micro Dart or Tagger Micro Whistler Dart, with a big enough tip to stay still in.

Trivia

 * The Elite Darts packaged with the Star-Lord Quad Blaster have a black body.
 * The trigger to expose the hidden barrels, if carefully pressed, has two stages; so the lower secondary barrel can be exposed separately from the upper secondary barrel, but it can only be exposed independently while holding down the cover of the upper barrel until the button is released.
