Using the Nerf Elite 2.0 Motoblitz blaster is super easy. For airblitz mode, first load the darts. Then, pump the handle back and forth a few times to build up air pressure. When you're ready to fire, press the airblitz button, and six darts will shoot out all at once. For motorized mode, load the 10 - dart clip into the blaster. Put in 4 x 1.5v AA alkaline batteries (not included), rev up the motor, and pull the trigger to fire darts one after another quickly. Remember to wear eyewear (not included) for safety. When it comes to maintenance, keep the blaster clean and dry. If you're not using it for a long time, remove the batteries. Accessories are sold separately, so you can customize your blaster according to your needs, but availability may vary.
