I have some guns with a pin with an airhole in them how do you make darts that fit them?

[WebbZter]

You have three choices that I know of:

1) Saw off the barrel and replace it with a piece of PVC pipe (you'll also see an increase in range)

2) Twist the pin off using a pair of needle-nosed pliers

3) Burn a hole into the back of the darts by putting a Wendy's straw to the back and twisting it really quickly. The Wendy's straw will "drill" into the dart

Tell us what guns they are so we can give you specific instructions.

You don't. You get a pair of pliers and rip the pin out.

I take a sharp pencil, stick it through the dart and heat up the foam with a blowdryer. Then, after the stefan-to-be is soft and bendable, you plunge it into ice water, with the pencil still in it. Take it out about 5 minutes later and presto! A stefan with a hole in it!

Thanks for the ideas. I thing i can figure something out now.

Um, have you tried that on a Splitfire? It ruins the gun. Webb was right, you twist it out.

You disassemble the gun until you can nicely remove all the offending crap at the base of your barrels. This usually involves sawing the barrels off but you were going to do that anyway so you can replace them with something better.
