DESTRUCTOR VARIANT

Neither I nor the maker of this toy are responsible for modifications you make to this toy. If any damage is incurred to yourself, others , or property (be it yours or otherwise) during the modification, or use of said modified toy, you are solely responsible.
I recommend any modification be made with adult supervision.

Destructor Difficulty Level: Complex
Max. Distance Increase: +10 feet
Opt. Distance Increase: +10 feet

Directions: This variant is achieved in several steps and is fairly complex.
1) Open up your Crossbow. Whenever opening up any toy be sure to memorize how it looks before moving anything. Notice how the pressure chamber is connected to a hose which bends twice before getting to the ammo chamber. This winding and twisting distracts and lessens the airflow. This problem must be corrected.
2) Remove the ammo chamber from it's top position, removing the yellow tubing which connects the ammo chamber to the pressure chamber. Remove the spring from within this tube. Cut the tube so you have one piece which is approximately two inches in length. Reconnect the tubing to the ammo and pressure chambers.
This makes the airflow a straight unobstructed path.
3) If you look carefully at the underside of the ammo chamber you will notice small holes. Place a piece of tape over these holes to prevent air loss.
4) If you now look at the exit point of the ammo chamber from the toy housing, there is now space, making the ammo chamber loose. You need to find something, such as foam, cardboard, or what have you to restabilize it.
5) Reassemble your Crossbow.
