What's up guys? As you can see, I just got validated and have a lot of noobish questions.

I have a lot of friends who like to play with Nerf guns and sometimes our wars can get pretty big (up to 12 vs. 12). However, they are all indoor wars and we all use mostly stock guns. I'm very interested in Stefans because I'd love to be able to shoot a Longshot or a Raider without using streamline darts.

I also know that Stefans increase the range of most guns. What are some other advantages.

I've watched videos by Captain Slug and Forsaken Angel that show how to make Stefans, and I am leaning toward using Captain Slug's method? Which do you prefer? Why?

Is it important to make the little indent in the back of the dart (as shown in FS_24's video)? What does it do and howdoes it work?

Does making Stefans take a lot of precision? Will mine curve a lot? How much do they hurt? How large is the range increase? What type and thickness of FBR should I use to make it fit in stock barrels? What barrel material and diameter should I use to fit those Stefans? Is there anything else important for me to consider before I make my first batch?

Thanks for all your help.
