So I've discovered what's wrong with my brand new sword launcher. The gear connected directly to the prongs is either stripped or needs to be tightened. It no longer catches and now makes very soft clicks. Does anyone know if there is a way to take it apart or will I have to buy a whole new launcher?

Yes buy new launcher,don't buy a sword launcher. The launchers that come in starters work fine.

Yeah I just wanted something bigger, the starter ones are kinds small for me
