We have other NERF Elite pistol at home, the previously all worked well. In this model we found quickly that it destroys the elite arrows. She shoots well and good. But if within a few days 10 arrows are destroyed by the gun itself, the manufacturer should make improvements. The arrows have defective notching a half-severed head orange, or after the ejection and no longer fly as well. We have heard from another friend who has the same model with the same problems. Therefore we leave again to go back and get the money back thanks to Amazon.
