Mr cleaver

I love using megas, I love using jumbos, and I love using mongos. I am not fond of micros or nanos. And this weekend I created a new dart dimension. I call them... Macros.
Right now these darts lack a barrel material and a picture but they are 7/8" diameter and I cut mine to measure 2.5" long and they have a 5/8 fender washer as a weight finished off with a lovely glue dome. If anyone knows of a possible barrel material I could use that would be swell. Thank you.

Recently my friend bought some 5/8" foam backer rod instead of 1/2" and instead of returning or using it for its intended purpose (filling cracks) he gave it to me. Ever since then I have stopped using micros with my airguns and have switched over to megas because I think they are superior to micros. The dilemma I'm in is I hardly have any micros left and I just prefer megas, but there's no clip material! If anyone knows what I could use as the clip section of an RSCB that would be great.

A few months back I ran out of 1/2" pvc. "Meh, no big deal" is what I told myself, but I was wrong.
Since I am a high school student, school takes up a majority of my time. On top of that I attend Ventures and lifesaving team practice so I have even less time to myself. So when I get a chance to go to Home depot I binge buy. But that time when I went to Home depot, they were out of 1/2" pvc! But the man told me that they had conduit available, so I bought that instead. So before I go and buy more conduit (because it is half the price of white pvc) does anyone know why it is so much cheaper and whether or not I should keep using it?

I have a picture comparing the two

For a while now I have been looking for a McMaster free, cheap, easy, and painless way of producing great performing darts.

The solution: LDD's (I'm not expecting it to catch on)

Here I compared one to a glue dome I made before I mastered this method:

The first step in making this type of dart is to cut your blanks (no shit)
The foam I use is not that Frost King garbage, I buy my foam from Rona. It is pretty dense compared to what the other big hardware stores carry but its still freakin' gray and impossible to find.

The next step is drilling a hole in the center of the blank, I used the wood sanding screw on thing that came with my Dremel and just put some duct tape on some cpvc so it fit well in it. I took a picture so you can see it for yourself:

This step is just finding a rig to hold your darts. Iv'e seen people use berserker turrets, rf20 turrets, wood with holes in it but I just use cpvc shoved in some "blow marker" thing I had as a kid.

You dont need to do this for your darts (especially if your going for that "safe dart") but I find all it does is add range. What I did is put a copper BB in each hole, you could also fill it with caulking from the next step.

Almost there

Your going to want to grab your caulk for this step. I used this Mono Ultra stuff I had lying around the house. Your also gonna want to grab your caulk gun so application is smoother.

Finally you should have a turret full of darts ready to dry, drying takes 2-3 days so account for that if your making these 10 minutes before you leave for a war. After about a day I go in with my clippers and clip off any excess, I then pat down the domes into a less harmful looking shape.

Questions? Comments? Suggestions? I'm open to all!

It was a warm September morning, I crawled out of bed and tip-toed over the mess of darts on my floor. I ran downstairs and booted up my computer, I've been modding long enough that the idea of attending a war with crazy stuff like singled 4B's seemed like fun. After hours of searching, to my despair, I found that not many (if any) Torontonian Nerfers were still around, therefore no wars.

I have decided its my time to step up and host one, but before I go through the scouting process and finding a good date I need to know whether or not anyone is still around. So if you live near the GTA please keep the Canadian Nerf scene alive.
