I just realized that with the orange mini-shields installed above the drum, reloading single darts into the drum isn't quite as free as for muzzle-loading turrets or other drum-based blasters. However, you can manually rotate the drum in place, albeit in only one direction and contrary to the auto-advance.

Also, those shields are flimsy gits. Lay the blaster on its side and the shields easily break ajar. But as far as I can tell, these are really just for looks.
