Hey guys, I was at my Home Depot today, and came across pex tubing. Its flexible, strong, fits in 1/2 inch cpvc fittings, is really light, and best of all, if cpvc is too tight for your darts, 1/2 inch PEX tubing ID is slightly larger. Anyone else have this stuff, and does it work well?

Also, unlike cpvc, pvc, and brass its sort of translucent, so you can tell if there is a dart in it in the light, similar to petg, except its not fully transparant.

Ok, I tested this stuff out, and am happy to report that it works better than cpvc. It has alot less friction, and increased the velocity on my PEX bb over my cpvc bbb greatly...I definatly uggest it, and for $1.29 for 5 feet, why not? Oh ya, its alot lighter than brass, so if you could fit it into a rotation mechanism, it should work, although petg should be even better...

EDIT: I just realized, I didnt find this stuff first, oh well, its nice to have an update...

Hey, this stuff sounds pretty awesome! I'll pick some up the next time I go to Home Depot, and I'll compare it to the PETG that I plan to get next saturday at the Yano.
I'll test both materials in my SM750.
