Well, they're not supposed to. At the end of the priming cycle the handle/bolt is supposed to lock in place until it's fired. But it doesn't always work that way. I've double primed enough blasters to know it's most definitely doable.

But look, short of butterflying your blaster, you're not going to know for sure. Dad's blaster being only 3 days old, it's best to assume it's a lemon and get another. If it was a year old, my advice would be entirely different 😉
