I still need to refine it, but I found that screwing 1 inch sheet rock screw in to the end of a 1 inch piece of FBR is a quick easy slug. Slap some felt on the tip if metal bothers, but no glue to mess with and the weight seems about right. I do get a little bit of a tumble action, but tommorrow I am gonna try cutting the screw in half and see if it helps. Sheet "zip" metal screws might work better but I don't have any kicking around.
It's good to see new

My safety standard for nerf is: "Can I shoot my kid with this?". Admittedly the screw slug is not there yet.

Slugs aren't just any old dart with padding on the tip. I think Slug was pretty particular about how to make them. Im not sure why there's so much confusion on that point, especially when people are usually so quick to attach their own name to a new design.
Im always down for new dart designs, if they represent a real improvement on the ones we have now. Just remember to do some testing before you publish.

If it was safe, dart making would be much quicker and more consistent(at least for me). Cut the FBR and insert screw, no glue to mess with and hope that you center properly. I could be wrong though, I never claimed that this was a good idea, it was just an idea.To be completely honest, this idea seems pretty useless. Even if they were safe when you cut off the stem of the screw, the crafting time would be greater than that of the traditional slug; having to cut down each screw. Are they any pros to using this method you have found yet?
