Using this Nerf Minecraft Firebrand dart - blasting axe is a breeze. First, load the Nerf Elite darts into the axe one by one. You can hold it like a regular axe and then, when you're ready to surprise your friends, pull the trigger to blast a dart. It's simple and only takes a few steps to get the action going. When it comes to safety, always wear eyewear (though it's not included with the toy). This will protect your eyes from the darts. As for maintenance, keep it in a dry place when not in use. If the darts get dirty, you can wash them with mild soap and water. Just let them dry completely before using them again. Have fun playing with your Firebrand axe both indoors and outdoors, but make sure there's enough space to avoid hitting anything valuable.
