There are three motors in a Hyperfire. Two flywheel motors, and the conveyor belt motor. When you pull the Rev trigger, you should hear the flywheel motors spinning. Then when you pull the Firing trigger, you should hear the conveyor start to run.

So my first question is, is the conveyor belt running ?

The conveyor belt itself has two small teeth (paddles actually) that grab the back end of the darts and slides them forward. If your darts are old or worn, the teeth often have a hard time grabbing the darts. They just slide down the foam body, and nothing shoots out the front. Plus, the Hyperfire is notorious for chewing up the tails of the darts, making the problem all that much worse as time goes on.

So my second question is, are you using decent darts ? Are the tail ends all chewed up or rounded ?

Let me know the answer to these two questions and maybe we can figure out the next step.
