Also if one of my stefans hits a wall 20 ft or less away, the head falls off. What might be causing this?

I have some 1/2" cpvc from Lowe's that I have used to rebarrel most of my guns with. My 1/2" stefans are to tight for the barrels. I can get them in but they are really tight and it takes a long time to do.(The FBR is from Ace Hardware). Would 3/8 foam work, or would it be to small? If that won't work, what will?

You could try to pulling on the foam so gets thinner, also I"m guessing that your using #8 Washers, unless there slug style the tips will fall of, switch to 3/0 fishing weights.

I'm not sure why your dart heads could be falling off though.

As far as the heads of your stefans: hard surfaces at close range tend to break darts. Shoot at something softer.

Well how about when where you buy changes their foam?First rule of stefans: barrel your guns according to what kind of foam you intend to regularly buy, not the other way around.

That just happened to me. I rebarreled my guns. Mostly because I know my source is quite consistent. I've been using the same barrel size for almost three years, up until now.Well how about when where you buy changes their foam?First rule of stefans: barrel your guns according to what kind of foam you intend to regularly buy, not the other way around.
Size change is also why it makes sense to lay in a good supply of foam once you find something that fits. Changes in size don't happen very often, but they can come as a surprise.

If your current foam is just useless you can always find other uses for it. Padding guns, or Hey, weatherstrip your house.

1. What color gray? (light or dark)1. Their foam is a gray color and very light feeling (much lighter than normal darts).
2. Next time buy both at the same place.
2. I do buy my stuff both at Lowes. I get the light gray foam and the cheapest CPVC. The fit is a little too tight.

I buy 1/2" foam and 1/2" CPVC from Lowes and the two work together perfectly. Their foam is a gray color and very light feeling (much lighter than normal darts). Next time buy both at the same place. For now try stretching your foam to thin it out, or failing that check that you didn't use too much hot glue in the heads.
Thank you Vinnie for telling me about Lowes foam. The stuff you were talking about works perfectly in their CPVC.
Edit: The foam is light gray.
