We're having a problem with the auto rapid fire and the belt jamming. No matter what we do or try (we even tried an extra belt) nothing is working. Is anyone else having problems?

We bought one for both the boys. They haven't opened it yet, but I guess we'll see when they do. What kind of problems are you having?

I bought one for DS, and yes it jams A LOT. But he still likes it. He also got the the Recon CS-6 and we can't get it to work anymore.

Bought 2 here work great. They have played for hours. I am tired of reloading the bullets though.

It jams and most of the time won't move the belt clip when firing. I'm not sure if the little gear looking thing that the belt sits in is suppose to move (I would think it's suppose to) but it's not turning in order to expel the belt clip. DS played with it this morning and it worked fine. Now the clip just sits there without moving.

I got my DS the Recon CS-6. It seems to jam some, but he loves it. Gotta go today and get 3 AAA batteries. Oops guess I missed that one. I bought AA instead. Anyway it took us forever to get the thing together, nothing wanted to snap in. Had to force some of it together. Once we got it all together it worked well. He had 2 darts that got really messed up when they jammed so in the trash they went.

Seems like a lot of people are having the same problem as I am with this.

My ds received this gift from Santa. One round of fun and the piece of junk is now jammed and won't work. It's going back to Target today.

My DS wants it sooo badly. I was hoping walmart would still have it instock and I could just exchange outright. But they don't have any. Mine is most definitely going back to walmart but now I have to figure out if I should hold on to the money for when they come back in stock or convince him to buy something else.

My DS got this. It kept jamming yesterday and my DH realized it was from cocking it before firing it on automatic. Whenever we would do that it would jam. Since we stopped using the cocking lever before using the gun as an automatic we haven't had as many problems w/ jaming. I am a little disappointed at how the clip does not fasten very tightly to the gun. You would think it would snap in a little tighter. All in all though my son is having a blast with it. It is one of his favorite toys.

Our problem isn't so much with it jamming. We could deal with that. For us, it no longer advances the belt through. It's like the gears are broke or stripped. :no:

We had jamming problems right away but then found as long as we stuffed the whole "bullet" in the tube far enough it would prevent it from jamming so easily. That and just layering the strip back and forth neatly worked for us. Hope you can get it working better, my son is loving it although the dogs are not! (No he isnt hitting them directly I would not allow that but they are 5 and 20 pounds and a little nervous anything is flying in any general direction!)
