So the other day I got some of that 5 gum and an idea emerged this is it.

Stuff you need:
a 5 gum box - preferably new
duct tape
scissors
about 15 minutes

the first and most obvious step-remove the gum

Posted Image

the next step is to remove the front of the box

Posted Image

remove the gum holders (i was lucky enough to only have 1 that was glued in)

Posted Image

remove the sides

Posted Image

remove the cover

Posted Image

cut down on the front of the box - the cut mark should be slightly shorter than the tip of your dart

Posted Image

cut off the top section of the cover -make the cut slightly above the tip of your dart

Posted Image

attach two pieces of duct tape together, and stick those on the underside of the front piece

Posted Image

attach the duct tape to the underside of the lid

Posted Image

cover over the tape with a reverse layer of tape

Posted Image

connect the parts and trim down the sides

Posted Image

cover the side openings with duct tape and cover that over with a revers layer

Posted Image

Posted Image

the finished product

Posted Image

Note: for this one, I just made it big enough for four, but if you add on more duct tape, you can make it bigger.

Creative but it looks like it can only hold like a maximum of 8 darts or so. Am I correct?

I wish I had the ability to make a box.... Oh wait.. I do.

Anyway, Mesh bags from AREI are much better dart holders. Three wars Ive used one, it works like a charm every time.

ZOMG SO REVOLUTIONARYYYY. Christ I hate threads like these. Pockets for the win. So your finished box holds like 5 EDIT: 4! darts, and costs like $3 and 15 minutes; can't you just stick the darts in the original gum box, and have it hold like, 6? I think 3" across is a conservative figure, so I'm going to say yes to my own question. OR MAYBE, just maybe, you could put them in something wild, like, say, hmm.. A deodorant tube? No no no. Of course not with the deodorant still in it. Though, don't they make an airtight seal? Could we use that somehow? Eh. Oh well. Good mod.

I did this fail last year.

This is the one year and one month anniversary of that Effeminate FAIL.

You provided pictures and the like. When you start NERF you worry about EVERYTHING for your first war. I can't blame you for this.

Llama boy, you have been pm'ed.

Ok so yeah it does only hold 4, but if you actually read it, I put a thing at the bottom that says that you can make it bigger. I would have, but I ran out of duct tape.

And also i was originally going to use the plain box, but the boxes are just a little too small, so it deformed my darts, and i had trouble getting them out.

And as soon as I get more tape, I'm gonna make another idea that got spawned when i made this.

While I respect the effort you put into this, uh, invention (as opposed to a "OMG! I bet I could put darts in a box!" post), I have to say: cargo shorts. Or a mesh bag, if you're snobby. This is kind of a solution to a non-existent problem.

Yep, I agree with rork and Busta, mesh bags are the way to go. Better yet, cargo shorts and meshbags, and there you have it, more than enough space for ammo, guns, barrels, etc.
