A few days ago I was playing around with my crossbow when I had decided to make a flip barrel. I wasn't to pleased with it so I just used my single barrel again. I started thinking wouldn't it be a good idea to put ammo holders on the end of a barrel? So I did... Here are the pictures.

I was going to mention your line of sight too...
But, additionally, it may become hard to grab a dart without knocking another one out... have you test fired a whole "clip" to see how fast you can do it? It might be a bit more functional if you pushed the darts further in, that way it would be easy to push them out and grab one to put in the barrel.
I do like the idea - might be able to tweak it for functionality, though.

Yes. It's useful, but I wouldn't do it on a gun like a crossbow. At least for me, I couldn't be able to aim and all my shots would be crappy, which defeats the purpose of a crossbow. But on a pistol-sized gun, i.e. the EaB, it works great."Has anyone else ever done this?"
EDIT: However, if it works for you, go for it.

I've done this before with one of my PVC blowguns, but it was made out of paper. It was convenient, but I prefer the felt bag I attached to my foam vest. It'll hold ~100 darts, and it's conveniently placed at my hip.
Don't get me wrong.. I'm still going to be using a mesh bag clipped onto my belt, but this is for faster reloading, instead of opening the bag, taking the dart out, closing the bag, etc..

I know it's meant for that. It's just like having an ammo holder built into the gun, but you can't practically have 60 or so ammo holders on a gun. My homemade bag doesn't (or very rarely) closes by itself, and is always upright, so I don't have to open/close it every time. And, to refill it, you only have to shove a handful of darts in (as opposed to putting darts one by one into dart holders.

Not at all actually. The hot glue was enough to hold it on and I just added some E-tape for extra help.
Ok, But I personally would epoxy it or super glue it along with a little hot glue just to be safe. I like this very much, it also looks very cool.

I did it too. But I put them back about an inch or so, and on both ends. I would fire, then load a dart in the front of the barrel, then flip it around in the coupler. It works pretty decently, since in my current project speed loaders aren't an option right now.

My name was supposed to be Fier intentionally because my last name is Fierstein. It's sort of a play on words.
