Great guide, but just 1 question. Me and my friends do a lot of nerfing, but the BB tips hurt so my friends won't let me use them. Any ideas on how to make one with a hard tip? P.S. The reason i don't just buy darts is cuz they cost too much.

[Pwag]

Trying getting some friends that aren't girls. :P

Might leave more foam at the tip of the dart.

When I try to put a hole in it,it just goes through the side. Is there a way to fix this?

[Zeffary20]

i put a dozen stefans in a pillowcase tied in the dryer for 10 min. I was skeptacal at first, but it works

[slowhat714]

just shove a straw in the hole

#1: How much this all cost? #2: How long for 200 darts? RSVP!

Lol, looks like nobody answered you, so I'll help you out:

Nerf darts are about 2 or 3 inches long, so you'd probably need a pretty decent sized length of backer rod. I'd say several feet. Good thing this stuff is cheap, eh?

[slimshady217]

are you Canadian?
just wondering caise you said "eh"

[videogamemaster]

No, but I hang out with too many Canadians.....

IDEA! What if u made the hole just long enuff 4 the 2 BBs, hotglued the hole shut, then poke a hole thru the other end ALMOST to the BBs?

What can we use as weights in the UK? We don't have airsoft or anything like that - fishing weights may be the answer - but I wanted to ask someone else.

I have just started researching stefans (home made nerf dart replacements) and I've seen people use fishing weights (the tiny ones, clamped shut), bb's, even those mechanical pencil eraser replacements. It doesn't take much weight (you're not trying to make these heavy).

The additional weight just gives the darts a little more accuracy and balance.

are they metel BB

[fsteel]

nice lol

[masterchief1257]

That's preaty neat I would have never thought of that.

[b0bman]

has anyone thought of using wooden dowels(rods) for tips? if you use a soft wood- like balsa- if might work better. or maybe a small cork.

[timdiveetz]

do you need to make a hole ?

[anibioman]

not if the air restrictors in your gun are removed.

[NatNoBrains]

Yes.

The way you say "em" is really annoying even to read.......

[NatNoBrains]

Are you going to get a profile pic sometime?

[GameNox]

[NatNoBrains]

OOOOKKKKAAAYYY

[coolcam]

where can u get the bbs or ball bearings in Australia? i try one place they had them but they want 11c or 100 $9. if u know where to get them in Australia u can email me at [e-mail] Thank From Cameron

[NatNoBrains]

From a toy shop. In the airsoft or toy gun area.

[MewTwo197]

How much should the bb's weigh?

[NatNoBrains]

As much as a normal BB.

[snaglefang]

wat if ur backer rod is not hollow? how do i fix it

[Shut Up Now]

it never is hollow. thats why you use teh screwdriver to make a hole. it is easier to just remove the pegs from your nerf guns though. also, if you remove the entire air restrictors, in some guns you can easily get double the power.

[snaglefang]

ok thanks

[NatNoBrains]

That was pretty obvious.

[rob dyrdek19191]

wouldn't it be just easier to use a sratchsaw to poke holes?

[alex4646]

how about this: poke a hole with the phillips head screwdriver around half the size of the bb then hot glue the bb in the front and viola! ur done.

[RandomTeeVee]

how long exactly is that because im making some but dont have a dart to measure with thanks!

[maxxxem]

aprx 2 3/4 inches

[The Farfignugen]

how does it go far with the flat tip?

[LargePaperCup]

phillips is the x screwdriver

[tanmanknex]

I don't think that's what they meant...
