I'd do it because it doesn't seem to hurt performance, even if it doesn't help, if you have any high-powered guns you use you might try it.

No holes in the back= good for spring guns
That pretty much sums it up.....

What if you dimple it like a golf ball? It seems to make sense to do that because it decreases turbulance behind the dart hence increasing range. It wouldn't make a difference whether it's an air gun or not.Holes in the back = good for air guns
No holes in the back= good for spring guns
That pretty much sums it up.....

it sould expand slightly to make the air not move around it, which would make it lose some of the pressure, and slowing the velocity down. making the dart not go as far. it's concept can be taken from the minie ball, used during the civil war.
a spring gun however, in my opinion doesn't matter since all the spring guns do is push the dart out at a high speed.

I know its bad,

But I’m just not the angel you knew.

I get the same results on my splitfire dimpe or no dimple feels like theres no difference for air powerd firearms.

Funny, I always assumed people started putting holes in their stefans because Nerf darts have holes in them.why I think people started puting "dimples" or holes in the end of the dart was to minic the mini ball
In micros, it doesn't effect range if your darts are weighted heavily enough. In megas, it may help the dart expand to fill the barrel better. If you under-weight your darts, drilling them out is necessary to keep the center of gravity forward. Anything regarding 'catching the air' is a misunderstanding of the physics of nerf.

This is exactly what I do. I'm not sure why, but it's been a ritual for 3 years now. It makes a hole not too big (so they don't crack the side of the dart), but it makes a small hole. They seem to work better than when I make solid stefans. Sure, they split sometimes, but I have so many darts that they're rotated enough to have a long lifespan.I use a hot glue gun and melt holes in the end of all my Stefans. It mostly seems to aid in the reliability of the dart; I've found that darts I shoot from my guns that don't have the holes in the ends tend to fly more unstably, affecting both accuracy and range. I think a lot of it has to do with both "catching" the air of the gun and keeping the center of gravity shifted foward well. I don't "drill" holes in my darts, like standard Nerf darts, just put a "dimple" on the end with a hot glue gun. Part of this is also aids the dart in coming free of the beginning of the barrel; if you heat the FBR (such as in a clothes dryer), it expands, so in something like a PowerClip it may have trouble coming out (I did with a couple darts even after I put "dimples" on the end).

However, it makes no difference for me because
A) I use stock dart foam with stefan tips because the foam is higher quality, so they have holes drilled in them anyway
-and-
because I use 17/32" brass for my main barrel, with 1/2" brass as a nested stub in the back. Fits stock darts like a glove, so there's no room for expansion. If there was, then when I fired my gun, the 1/2" brass would hold the dart still for a split second while the hole filed with air, swelled, and then proceeded to split wide open.
Don't knock it until you've tried it!

What do refer to as being "What I do?" My darts already have a huge stock-drilled hole in them. A dimple would change nothing...
