a while ago I made some missiles out of insulator, using foam craft sheet for the fins and the nose. It wasn't incredibly successfull. I got ranges around 50', but they were just so heavy. has anyone else tried these things and are there any ways to expand on the idea?

With what gun?I got ranges around 50'
Don't worry about the things you don't know. Do sheep expand in the rain? Who discovered how to get milk from cows? And what was he doing in the first place?

Using either a basic homemade or a xp 105 super soaker. If you wrap elecrical tape around 1/2" pvc the missiles fit tightly.

i have, i get slightly better ranges than that angled with a brass modded SS@. my missiles dont have a separate nosecone, i just cut slits in the end and floded the resulting tabs inward and hotglued the whole mess. also added about four splitshot sinkers. flies nicely, it just needs a more powerful launcher.

I have too and got 103.7 feet(wind assisted) with my modded supersoaker xp. no mater how I make the fins, theu usually seem to be incrediably inaccurate, however. I tried making fins that make it spin and it worked slightly better.

yup. spin stablization increases accuracy. mine is pinpoint: one foot radius at 60 feet, 45 degree elevation.

Do you guys think that people could actually do anything useful with these though? I only used them in a nerf war once, and they were only used when I had a height advantage. They are pretty fun to shoot stuff with.

so far, testosterone-soaked fun is the only use ;D
if you make some kind of fragmentation or shotshell round, it becomes really useful.
