it doesn't get as much range as my streamlines, but it's a very great improvement compared to the dart alone.
also let me know if this has been done before

I know that CPVC nested in PVC with a hammer gets the most range with stock darts.
The reason this can significantly increase the range is because the backer rod behind the dart utilizes more barrel length thus accelerates more and since the rod is so light but maintains the same initial speed as the dart in front of the rod takes up very little little energy

First of all, the little piece of FBR you have in there does take up more barrel length, but as we see with normal stefan lengths, longer is almost never better (unless you need to use them in a clip). This is most often due to friction, since there is more material in contact with the barrel walls it will slow down faster.
The only way that this could (and probably does, in your case) help your range is by (as previously mentioned) providing a better, more airtight seal in your admittedly loose barrels. If this is indeed the case I would recommend trying to use PVC (SCH. 80 in your case) if you can fit. If not, try out some 17/32" brass to make them fit a tad bit tighter, as when you're playing HvZ range and accuracy often take a backseat to ROF.

I love the sarcasm of some of the more experienced members on this sight. and forgive me if this is stupid, but would actually attaching the fbr to the dart by means of glue or something decrease the reload time, thus making this idea a bit more useful?Or you can just use 3 foot long EMT barrels, and vacuum load the darts. But if you want to pick up and load twice as much stuff that's cool too.

Well, it would definitely lower the time, but you'd want to test it. The added weight would probably take away whatever you're gaining from having the fbr there. I don't think he's allowed to modify his darts at all anyways, and you might get some zombies complaining about it if it does work.I love the sarcasm of some of the more experienced members on this sight. and forgive me if this is stupid, but would actually attaching the fbr to the dart by means of glue or something decrease the reload time, thus making this idea a bit more useful?Or you can just use 3 foot long EMT barrels, and vacuum load the darts.

I don't think it was mentioned before, but back when I was using marker barrels, I think every brand was slightly telescopic. So even using bits of stock darts you'd be getting a better seal at the base of the barrel. You might find that it works nearly as well to just cut the tops of the markers down a 1/2 in so the dart can reach the end of it. Obviously if your markers are perfectly straight it's not an issue, but it might be worth checking out.that's true that friction will make this less effective so this technique wouldn't be very good in a long or very tight barrel, however I'm using marker barrels which are 3.5 inches long and I can confirm that it is not the tight fit of the rod behind the dart that is improving the range because I used butchered stock darts as rods for the first few trials and still yielded significant increases,
