For this project you will need:

1. some foam backer rod (the gray coil) its inexpensive!!
2. a couple of nerf bullets to measure
3. a philips screwdriver
4. a paint brush or some kinda small rod
5. scissors
6. lots of BB's
7. a nerf gun to test em out!!

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 cchasemore@hotmail.com Thank From Cameron

easiest place is a bike shop or skate park. ask them if they have any popped headset bearings. then take out any bb's left in the headset and viola. although it takes a bit of scavenging and searching for a friendly place you can generally get them for free :)

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

curious youth in reply to NatNoBrainsApr 4, 2012. 1:34 AM

no airsoft or bb guns in aus mate. unfourtunately :(

GEORGE41708 in reply to curious youthAug 29, 2012. 4:47 PM

D: whoever made that law is mean, clearly hasent shot a bb gun before, maybe you could get shotgun shells if u can have those, they have alot of bb's on the inside

ThatKnottyguy in reply to GEORGE41708Oct 26, 2012. 6:58 PM

Yes. But, speaking as a reloader, the bbs are too small.

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 in reply to jake4a4Dec 28, 2011. 8:24 PM

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 says: Aug 8, 2011. 11:12 PM

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

slowhat714 says: May 15, 2009. 2:45 PM

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

videogamemaster in reply to Plo KoonMay 9, 2011. 2:16 PM

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 in reply to videogamemasterJul 5, 2011. 11:42 PM

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

videogamemaster in reply to slimshady217Jul 6, 2011. 7:12 AM

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

Plo Koon says: Apr 13, 2011. 11:15 AM

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?

ZirconiumX says: Jan 26, 2011. 7:49 AM

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.

Matthew:out

Fun2Hold in reply to ZirconiumXApr 10, 2011. 9:29 PM

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.

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

b0bman says: Jan 31, 2011. 9:21 PM

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 says: Jul 27, 2009. 7:26 PM

do you need to make a hole ?

anibioman in reply to timdiveetzJan 12, 2011. 1:20 PM

not if the air restrictors in your gun are removed.

NatNoBrains in reply to timdiveetzDec 29, 2010. 11:50 AM

Yes.

MewTwo197 says: Jul 28, 2009. 1:39 PM

How much should the bb's weigh?

NatNoBrains in reply to MewTwo197Dec 29, 2010. 11:50 AM

As much as a normal BB.

snaglefang says: Apr 4, 2009. 3:44 PM

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

Shut Up Now in reply to snaglefangAug 11, 2009. 11:21 AM

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 in reply to Shut Up NowAug 12, 2009. 4:44 PM

ok thanks

NatNoBrains in reply to snaglefangDec 29, 2010. 11:50 AM

That was pretty obvious.

rob dyrdek19191 says: Aug 2, 2009. 1:30 PM

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

alex4646 says: Jun 4, 2010. 8:33 AM

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 says: Nov 27, 2009. 7:01 PM

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