focus your camera


or buy a new bolt!

well i tried to get it back out but its in there pretty good. will i damage anything if i pull it out with needle nose pliers?

and how is the foamie kept in place? like did i break something?

The only thing you should damage is the foamie itself if you're careful. Sounds like it should be replaced anyway. Just use some sort of CA glue (AKA-Super Glue).

umm...

your foamie isn't there.

That's the remains of the foamie still attached to the bolt.

Your foamie shot out. It happens. It's usually caused by a lot of dry firing.

You need to put a new foamie on.
