Well, I managed to get that old First Shot apart. Got a hidden screw at the handle pivot point, under the blue cap. It's remarkably sturdy for a cheap knockoff blaster.

I trimmed down the dart post so it can accept Elite darts. Sorta. It's a really tight fit. Now the problem is it blows darts apart.

First try, I took a regular old Elite, slid it on the dart post as far as I could without munching the dart, and fired. I swear, it sounded like a firecracker. The dart (there on the right) has holes in both sides. You can see right through it !

I tried again with some sturdier FVJs, and it works. The range is crud, but it works. I don't think it's worth going any further with this old single shot muzzle loader. But at least it's somewhat usable now.
