we are goin to be making homemade nerfdarts called "Stefans" they will out preform ANY stock nerf dart.

they are simple and easy to make, I made 200 in 45 minuets.


I aslo sell modded nerf guns and homemade nerf darts on ebay. if you are interested, I can set up a auction for you at a set price. So, if you have any modded guns that you would like to buy, or just want some darts, send me a message and ill see what i can do.

Step 1Gather the stuff.

Gather the stuff.
To make your own black darts of foamy death, you will need:

1. Foam backer rod. I use the 1/2 inch size. (the black stuff in the pic. its very cheap.)
2. BB's (or other weights, fishing weights work too.)
3. Hot glue and hotglue gun.
4. Pillow case
5. Hair dryer

got it all? ok! good, lets go to the next step.

wait is the backer rod hollow cuz if it isnt it wont work in most guns
Jul 21, 2009. 3:59 PMThundertydus says:
No the backer rod is not hollow, and its not supposed to work in stock nerf guns, these will only workin in modded nerf guns without the air restrictors
Jul 6, 2011. 12:18 AMslimshady217 says:
hollow out the foam stuff
Apr 3, 2011. 6:11 AMsomedood99 says:
Will these still fit into the clip of a nerf gun?
May 4, 2011. 1:03 PMcklawitter says:
They will fit, but may need to make them a bit longer. Not getting much distance from a Longstrike w restrictors removed.

On a side note. I have found 6mm plastic bb's work well. The fly straighter and have perfect weight. I just dig out the very center of the "dart" tip to act as a weight seat.

Can someone give me a link to a guide that tells me how to mod a recon/longshot clip to be compatible with these?Thanks.

Mar 31, 2010. 3:28 PMslipdiddy101 says:

Dec 5, 2010. 1:52 AMchubby8 says:
yeah, i think so
Nov 22, 2010. 2:32 PMgazillion114 says:
lol... i totally didn't use the metal bbs!! airsoft is totally good for weights, on a maverick i get better range than my regular darts.
Oct 27, 2010. 9:40 AMMonkeyboy13 says:
Mine keep pinwheeling when i shoot them. What did i do wrong? I've been trying different weights and it ain't doing much
Nov 4, 2010. 11:40 AMDobbo151 says:
it might be that you've not put the weights close enough to the center of the tip of the dart, or possibly the foam has not straightened properly
Jul 6, 2010. 4:18 PMNERF KING says:
