16/32=1/2 inch, so try 17/32. However, most barreling materials are not suited for stock darts they are more suited to stefans. Still, PETG is a lot cheaper than brass if you get it off the haven, it's 50 cents for 1 foot.
PS tell your friends to be men! They only really hurt at point blank and out of extremely high-powered blasters such as the titan. Most of the time they just seem like a little tap.
Yeah, i was thinking about that last night, then i realized it was 17/32. For future projects, I'll probably go petg.
already started my super secret (not really) project with brass. I do have a friend who works at Lows, he might be able to get me some cheap brass. I'll see. We play shirts VS skins, and im good at chest shots.

17/32 brass will give you a snug fit, and is what I use. CPVC also works, but it's inner diameter is inconsistent. PETG's inner diameter is too large to be useful for springer, but works well with streamlines in airguns.
There is a high degree of variability in the diameter of stock darts, so your mileage may vary. I find that Buzz Bee darts tend to be more consistent, and more well constructed than Nerf brand darts.
Thanks that is all very helpful.

For cpvc if the fit is too tight, stick a pair of scissors in there and shave the inner diameter down until your darts fit. Hope this helps.
Wouldn't that make it to rough for the dart to slide easily?
