Well my friend put 1 bb in each dart and now they are flying perfectly straight. They also gained power too.

Not shit sherlock, add some weight to an almost weightless dart and you'll see some improvement. It's been a proven fact that the longshot darts, while acheiving some what of decent range they have no accuracy at all.

Ok, this replacement really, really helped. I use the stock darts with 2 bbs jammed in the hole in the tip and then seal them in with hot glue. I'm hitting 110' flat almost every shot. I'm not sure if stefans will be better now.





*Sigh*



Try search next time, we've been through this idea a lot.

Ok so this doesnt really have anything to do with this post.. but then again it kinda does. Flaming hilt and I were shooting off darts (the STREAMLINE ones) and we discovered that if the dart is launched out with the hole on the rubber tip faceing up it doesnt fishtail because it isnt creating as much negative drag. I think that you uncle hammer are correct about the weight thing but another factor in this equation may be that moebeus decreased/ got rid of most of the drag when he sealed in the little hole (assuming that you did do this so as to keep the BB inside/ not moveing)

They are called streamlined darts, for future reference. I apologize for the snide remark if you did, actually, use search.

Ok I just didnt know the 'official' name and it didnt show up with my search. Either way I didnt care about the remark. I wish normal darts would fire because the barrel is big enough to accomidate them. Too bad that they dont work

Have you tried Converted Taggers? They work much better than streamlines. I've got about 20 of them, more than two clips worth. All I need now are more clips.

Yes but for one reason or another in my friends ls they did NOT work weel or at all. They would ploop out the end of the barrel with out the pistol on and even worse with the pistol. It might be because his converted ones are old and damaged darts so he sacrificed them. My converted darts should work well as they are darts i killed because they wouldnt work in certain guns I use. I have not tryed them because I havent been to his house lately.
