This mod is very simple, my taggers have been slowly shrinking in diamater lowering their range in spring guns, so what I decided to do is this:

1. Take a 9/32 inch mechanical pencil remove the grip.
2. Get out your hacksaw and carefuly cut a 1/4 inch cross section make sure you do not crack it.\
3. Sand down the cross section so that it is completly smooth.
4. Insert the cross section into the back of the tagger, slowly push it in with a screw driver all the way to the front of the dart.
5. Make sure that it is in all the way and is completely straight otherwise it will cause your darts to fishtail.

Your'e done! this mod adds a small amout of weight to the dart and seems to stabalize it. It also makes it fit nice and firm into 17/32 brass ideal for spring guns.

Out of my max shot, the darts consistantly got an additional 5-10 feet ( small but every foot counts), increased accuracy, and did not fishtail at all!

I will try to post pictures tommorow, not much to see though.

This is a very good idea and I congratulate you on being the first person to think of this. It is similar to putting straws into the darts but much more stable. I will try this tommorow hopefully and will make sure to post the results.

The only problem I see with this, is that most nerfers have alot of taggers, and most people don't have too many mechanical pencils that they are willing to part with, other than that it's good.

This could work with stuff other then mechanical pencils. how about pieces of wood or cardboard cut to the right shape and size?

Kind of like what I do... I take off the tagger part of it, put a screw through the center of the rubber thing, and seal it with a drop of goop.

I went to costco... got 200 mechanical pencils for 10$, and the ring has to be a perfect shape otherwise the dart will not be balanced.

Touche Salesman. I think I'll stick to normal taggers though.

I don't know if this was already said, but you can just use straws in the darts to save money, and you will be able to mass produce them.
