Well, there haven't been that many topics on this, but Shadow, try not to go that post-happy.

Anyways, yes, it has been thought of before, and it has beeon done successfully. Look at Yakman's site.

Yes,people have modified paintball guns to shoot Nerf darts before. Yakman has a detailed mod on making a paintball gun shoot nerf darts and he gets pretty good ranges.

Edit-- I posted at the same time as ompa --Edit

I noticed that mega stefans fit pretty well in the 98 C barrel. However, in my rush to make superweight stefans, I forgot to add the dab of glue that holds the BBs in place in the stefan. The foam literally acted like shells as the BBs ripped their way out of the foam.

Does anybody know how DANGEROUS it is to use a paintball marker to shoot projectiles other than paintballs? Paintball markers fire paintballs at about 300 feet per second, which turns out to be 204.54545454545454545454545454545454545454545454545454545454545454545454545454545454 (you get the point) miles per hour. That is why we use paintball-specific masks; they protect our eyes from these sort of projectiles. You can only imagine how fast a paintball marker would project a Nerf dart.

Speaking of paintball/dart speed, has anybody ever chronographed a stock gun, and then chronographed a modded version of that gun? For example, shoot a stock X-bow over the chrono and record its speed, then shoot a highly modified one over the chrono and record its speed. If only I had a chrono and an X-Bow...

Arcanis, ALWAYS glue your weights in. Do you know how dangerous it is if your weight comes out upon impact?

Yes, I do. I was firing this at rocks in my backyard. All my guns are tested before use in a war.
