This is a crossbow. You slide the power plunger back along the stock and the neon green piece (trigger) snaps into place to hold the bolt. The yellow bump at the top center is a spring-loaded loading gate. You open this, slip in your round (any K'nex rod, except whites or greens), and let go and it automatically snaps shut. Warning: the blue rod that crosses inside the crossbow, connected to the trigger, should be replaced occasionally because it gets worn down and won't hold the bolt. The loading gate also acts as a sight. Pull the white trigger (below neon green piece) to fire. The gray rods at the front were just added for support while taking the picture. There are 8 rubber bands for the bow string and 1 for the loading gate. You can load up to 2 rods at a time.
