1 - Three bolts is all it can hold

2 - Pusher

3 - Two #64 bands tied together function as the bowstring

4 - Attach the tied bands around the front white connectors

5 - Rubber band for the trigger. Hook it in the orange connector and then around the white rod. This makes it not get stuck when you pull it down

6 - Bands for the pusher

7 - How the bolts should look inside the barrel.

When the tied bands are pulled back, they should go over the angled edge of the trigger and hook on the back. With those bands out of the way, a bolt gets pushed down into the barrel (note - sometimes the magazine and the barrel aren't exactly aligned. If this happens, just push the side of the mag a little so they line up). After firing, the system will reset. Just repeat.

Happy shooting and comments/criticism always welcome!
