If your Nerf Rival gun is jammed, there are a few things you can try to clear the jam and get it working again. Here are the steps you should take and are also mentioned on smartnerf website:

  1. Remove the magazine or round container from the gun.
  2. Check for any visible obstructions, such as a dart that may be lodged in the barrel. If you see an obstruction, carefully remove it.
  3. Look inside the chamber, the back of the barrel, and the magazine well for any remaining debris or jammed darts.
  4. If the jam is not visible and you can’t remove it by hand, you can use a long, thin tool, such as a broom handle or a chopstick, to gently push the obstruction out of the barrel.

If none of the above steps work, or if you’re not comfortable trying them, it’s best to contact Nerf customer service. They can help you troubleshoot the problem or provide instructions on how to return the gun for repair.

Additionally, make sure to use the officially licensed nerf darts, as using other darts can cause jams as well. Also, store, and use the gun according to the instructions provided.

Clean Nerf Gun

You have to clean your nerf gun in order to get rid of the jamming issue. Here are a few steps you should follow to clean your toy gun.

  1. Unload the gun: Make sure that the gun is unloaded and that there are no darts or other projectiles in the chamber.
  2. Disassemble the gun: Take the gun apart as much as possible. This will make it easier to clean and will allow you to reach all the nooks and crannies.
  3. Clean the gun: Use a damp cloth or rag to wipe down the gun and remove any dirt, dust, or other debris. Avoid using water or any kind of cleaning solution, as this may damage the gun. For the hard-to-reach areas, you can use a toothbrush or a cotton swab.
  4. Dry the gun: Use a dry cloth or rag to dry the gun thoroughly. Make sure that there is no moisture left on the gun, as this can cause rust or other damage.
  5. Lubricate the gun parts: Apply a small amount of lubricants like silicone oil or grease to the moving parts of the gun. This will help ensure smooth operation and prevent wear and tear.
  6. Reassemble the nerf blaster: Put the gun back together, making sure that all the parts are securely in place.
  7. Test fire: Once you have finished cleaning and reassembling the gun, test fire it to make sure that it is working properly.

It’s also important to note that it’s best to clean the gun after each use, especially if it was used in outdoor and dusty environments. This will help keep the gun in good working condition and prolong its lifespan.
