So the story I typed up that got lost when I posted it and the site discarded it and redirected me to the "Undefined" wiki page was:

I picked up a pair of these at Savers for $3 and the one with the blue slide appeared to have a jammed trigger. So before it occurred to me that maybe Boomco blasters have the same ridiculous number of locks as Nerf blasters do, and before looking it up on the wiki to find that this is an exclusive color scheme to the Dual Defenders set, I hacked that sucker open. DERP.

Anyway, I took some pics while I was in there to maybe save someone else the hassle. You can PROBABLY open one up without destroying it, if you pry out those barbed (NOT threaded!) metal posts slowly, rather than hacking up the plastic like I stupidly did. (It's still usable without the slide, but not very ergonomic)

There's one internal post that goes through the slide-return spring, which MUST be pried apart, anyway.

So, as you can see, there's a little protrusion under the barrel that shoves a wedge downward when a dart is inserted, and that forces the lock to move forward which frees the trigger to move.
