A stefan dart is a homemade dart that you make out of foam backer rod. You would know this if you searched.

Yes, Stefans are the most commonly used homemade darts. They are made of 1/2" FBR, some kind of weight, and hotglue. Here's a guide on how to make them. Though to straighten them I would suggest putting them in a box with several holes poked in it for ventilation. Put your cut darts in there and use a blowdryer on high until they are straight.

Another common dart is the CDTS (Converted Dart Tag Stefen). It is a stock dart with the tip cut off, replaced with a weight, then glued in with a dome of hotglue. These work better for me, though they are much more expensive so I stick with the regular Stefans. You can find how to make them Here.

Of course, if you also want the converted Dart Tag darts to work with the LS, what I do is I remove the entire velcro tip, and make that the back end. Then I inject some hot glue (LOW HEAT) into the former back end of the dart, stick in a size BB fishing weight, and make the hot glue dome. Easy as pie, and effective as heck.


It will probably work even better if I plug the back end, but not all of my guns have the pegs removed. But once they are....
