dart length (ranging from 1.5" to 3")
dart thickness (Ace hardware FBR vs. frost king)
tip type (normal sinker and hot glue weight combo versus matchsticks)
Primary gun was a Maverick, and a Nite Finder was used a little bit too.
I found THAT
A) dart length is so trivial that we can rule it out as a significant choice. I perfer shorter darts because they fit in the guns better, and use less material.
Thick darts work better than thinner ones (Frost King FBR), with both better range and usually accuracy.C) the leaded darts got better power and range, but bad accuracy. Matchsticks got reasonable accuracy, and pretty decent range. This is assuming no holes have been cut or melted in the backs of the darts. I'm going to re test with some of these holes today, and I'll post back.
But the difference between FBR and then between tips have been significant. I think the matchsticks don't have enough weight on them. I rubber coated a normal stefan, with hole, and got amazing results.
I may have to dub it the MS/S if further tests find it best...
See you folks around.
Update- I found that A) normal matchsticks don't seem to have enough weight, and
holes put in the back seem to increase velocity at the cost of accuracy (crazy spiraling normally not seen).
