How to Remove the Air Restrictor in a Nerf Recon CS-6

Nerf blasters, like the Nerf N-Strike Recon CS-6, are the next generation of Nerf toys, which have advanced over the years from the Nerf basketball and football. The Nerf N-Strike Recon CS-6 has a retractable stock, flip-up sights and a targeting light beam mounted on the lower portion of the barrel. Nerf blasters are powered by springs that are mounted internally inside the main blaster unit. The spring works in conjunction with a small plastic piece called an air restrictor. Removal of the air flow restrictor can help the CS-6 fire longer distances.

Screwdriver
Wire snips

Instructions

  Remove the barrel extension on the CS-6 by twisting it to the left and pulling it straight forward and off.
