That's a good idea there, Nerfnewbie, but you could also use a spring-loaded laundry peg so you don't need to get around the stickiness and awkwardness of masking tape.

It works well because it constricts the tip down and makes it more aerodynamic.
Does that make sense?

Don't let your guns get so hot and the glue wont melt the foam and be easier to work with. While Cxwq uses an icecube to get his domes perfect, I just use gravity and heat control.I'm actually going to give it a shot. My stefans and I hate each other, and I can't get Cx domes on my tip. I wonder, if you push the masking tape up just a smidgen', you can probably get the tip to be more round (since it doesn't just melt off the side). If not, I'll just keep practicin the ol' fashion way...

Have you actually done this or are you just talking out of your ass to defend him?It works well because it constricts the tip down and makes it more aerodynamic.

Either way, a constricted tip isn't more aerodynamic, a constricted tail is.
I would guess that if it works better for him it's because the tape makes a better seal with his barrels or adds just enough weight to balance his darts properly. Either way, those are problems that most of us address in other ways.

I used aerodynamic because I couldn't find an adjective to describe it. I guess if you do it tight enough it makes a bullet point. They worked good for me when I did them.

That'd be a bigass dart....5/6'Foam, 3/0 size Fishing weights, and hot glue...what else do you need for a homemade stefan?

For megas, you need 5/8 of an inch foam, not 5/6 of a foot, otherwise,...5/6'Foam, 3/0 size Fishing weights, and hot glue...what else do you need for a homemade stefan?
That'd be a bigass dart.
Also, I reccomend a candle w/ flame, cardboard, and some nails. I took a box, put a bunch of nails in it in a grid form, and then got a long nail. Light the candle, and you use the long nail to burn the hole in the back of the dark. Then you set it on a short nail which is atteched upwards into the box. This holds the dart upright so you can melt, glue, put the weight in, and glue.

The sleepless night will haunt me for all of my days. I swear we must have fucked up on at least 30 darts, and by the time 3:00am rolled around, we were too tired to give two shits.5/8' long dart? Something tells me no.
And for 200 darts, i remember me and BW stayed up late one night before a war making something around 300 darts. As a 2 man team it took us maybe 3 hours or so.
Strangely, they were our best batch to date, made with blood, sweat, and yawns-a-plenty.
Not in the game anymore, but it was great while it lasted. Thanks for the great years of fun, NH!

Mike was still shit…even with the good darts. I can make about 100 darts in about 1.5 hours which is not too bad…The sleepless night will haunt me for all of my days.

Yeah, I figure about one and a half hours to make 100 darts on your own. Maybe even two hours if you're making them well. It's a lot easier if you have a friend helping you though. Like have him straighten them and put the weights in them, then glue them yourself, since that's gonna be what really affects your dart quality. Unless the dart itself is screwed, of course.

So your saying they have 5/8' diameter? "'" means foot right?5/8' long dart? Something tells me no...

eg.
5/8" = five eighths of an inch
5/8' = five eighths of a foot
There you go.
It was simply a spelling error - I think she just didn't press the SHIFT button hard enough. Either that or she was in a rush because it's 5/8" foam to use for megas, not 5/6".
No biggy. That's all. Now lets get back on topic instead of questioning a simple error.
