Hey all-

I know people say 1/2" CPVC is a great fit for nerf darts- but with the ones pictured below i'm having issues. The yellow/orange back fits super snugly, very nice in fact, but the head does not fit. Is there a way to remedy this? Or when people say nerf darts do they mean homemade ones???

This is for the unofficial contest

Thanks,

Using stock darts, Use 1/2 inch PVC to fit the whole thing. I recommend doing a combo, aka pushing a section of 1/2 CPVC in the back of your 1/2 PVC barrel to make a nice start "oomph".

Or, you could just make stefans! Your range will skyrocket, and your accuracy will increase as well. Also, stefans are much less expensive than stock darts (as little as $.01/dart).
