Paper cones are not for high presures.
You can use nail with pen cap filled with hot glue.
This is what i made,but dont use so much glue or the dart will start tumbling.

I've seen members use the tips off of caulk tubes with nails. Seemed to work pretty good.

Well I am using plastic pipe,a little bit smaller than 1/2 inch copper tubing.If it doesnt fit correctly just wrap it with electrical tape.
The second method is also good,but little harder to make. :wink:

Another idea, take a length of 1/2" pipe, and fill it with water, then stick in the freezer over night. Done, premade ice ammo, and I hear it works really well. Plus as it melts it greases up your barrel so it moves faster.

Melting ice turns into grease? I learn something new every day :P

No it doesn't turn to grease.... I mean it lubricates the barrel... :banghead:
