On an unrelated note, I apologize if this is in the wrong section. The topic had to do with modding guns, so...yeah.

You're basically making a Nightfinder style loading into a Titan/BBB style loading.
This is retarded, and it probably acts as a fucking air restrictor in itself.
... to be able to get a better burst or sustained fire, rather than blowing the whole load at once.

Whoa, calm down there. For some reason, I seem to have pressed post instead of preview. But anyway, please explain to the fucking retardedguy why this such a bad idea.Wow.

EDIT: Dammit Zaphod; you beat me to it!
This will in effect, create more friction on the drats interior and since friction opposes speed, speed is lessend, thus lessenig ranges. You'd really be creating a tiny Titan. The only reaon that this works for the titan is that it put out such a large amount of air.
Understand; in guns like the maverick and NF, the pegs are removed because they induce friction. This is essentially what you are doing: creating a giant peg...
Hope this helps

Also, when your in a nerf war situation, you have to get a small tube into the small hole, and you could damage the straw by bending, flaying, or crushing the straw.

I'm also not convinced that the airflow restriction really matters. It's a Maverick, the hole in the plunger tube isn't any bigger then a straw to begin with.
Also, if you look at some of the really low powered blasters out there at dollar stores and stuff, they all use pegs instead of barrels. Putting barrels on a lot of these blasters results in lower ranges then stock, which suggests it is more efficient.

A straw would require that the darts have an opening inside them, that opening means that the dart has weaker/thinner walls. That's one of the reasons stock darts rupture when used in high power blasters.
That channel also causes the dart to "flex" when airpressure is first applied/released. The flexing movement reduces affects the seal of the dart (particularly in spring guns), and the slightly warped shape affects the accuracy and range of the dart as the flexing motion causes a tumbling/wobbling as the dart leaves the barrel and goes through the air
The Yellow text is speculative, I'm trying to test that.
So to summarzie: Channel=Weak, Solid=Stong.

And he's right about trying it. Just try it, and see what results you get. Most of the people posting in this thread don't really know what they're talking about anyways. Yes, a plastic straw is not durable enough to be very practical, and I can tell you though that you won't want the straw to be any longer than is covered by the dart. The concept itself is not ridiculous, and there's a reason why Nerf and other companies use this type of barrel design for foam missile blasters. It may not be ideal for darts, but you won't know the results until you try. Let us know what you find out.
