as the buzzbee stock darts, Can someone please explain to me why the hell this happened
because I might just go and get more of these buzzbee rounds at the rate that there going.

I may be wrong; I don't have any in front of me, but I believe that the buzzbee darts are slightly thicker, giving them a bit of a better seal in the nerf barrels. As far as stock darts go, I do actually prefer buzzbee over nerf (though it really depends what barrel it's going in).

Remind me again: Why would anyone want to use stock darts?

I believe that (some) indoor nerfers prefer stock darts, as they tend to be less likely to break things and hurt less at the (potentially) extremely close ranges that the indoor setting tends to force upon nerfers.

...Yeah, I was was just going to post "For indoor wars," but those who post 3-word posts tend to get flamed.

All it really amounts to is the type of barrel material you are using.

Stock barrels are usually oversized. Coincidentally, Buzzbee darts are fatter than Nerf darts, so they fit better.

I can also vouch for this.

I don't get my kicks out of you,
I don't feel the way I used to do.
I know its bad,
After what we had,
But I’m just not the angel you knew.

Yes, they have a denser rubber, and therefore get better ranges from high-powered guns.

Remind me again: Why would anyone want to use stock darts?


1. Indoor Wars (me)
2. Some people see no need to make stefans when they have accumulated 500+ stock darts (me)
3. Stefans are hard as hell to find if you can't get Red/White foam
4. Sometimes they stick to your clothes, which can be fucking hilarious
5. Stock Darts don't draw blood when shot out of a Titan. Not most of the Time, anyway.

I have made many stefans, and I don't see the point. It's a pain in the ass to make them right, You have to buy bright foam if you want any hope of re-using them, and you can't use them with stock guns. They do perform much better than stock darts, but I just don't think they are worth it.

I use Taggers. They only require a 3" barrel, perform fairly well, they're easy to find, and I have a shitload of them. If I want better range, I use Longshot darts with BB's in the tips. They can perform as well as stefans, and they work very well with 17/32" brass.


As far as Buzzbee darts, yes they are thicker, I can vouch for that as well. The only problem is that they can be hard to find.

Probably dead by now, or something.
