One of my Elite Alpha Troopers had a similar problem. It was caused by the dart tooth not fully retracting from the path of the chamber/barrel. The  darts would occasionally glance off the tooth, scrape along the inside of the barrel, and exit obliquely. But I never had one that didn't fully exit the barrel. So that's different.

To confirm if you have the same problem, prime your blaster, then look straight down the barrel. If you see the dart tooth protruding from the right side of the barrel into the path of the dart chamber or barrel, then you have this same problem. Use protective eyewear when doing that, please.

I wound up putting a drop of epoxy on the end of the dart tooth arm, to build it up, so that the priming mech pushed it farther out of the way. There's an article somewhere on this Wiki detailing the procedure. Look through my posting history for "EXDAT".

Happy hunting !
