Metal-tipped and explosive Airsoft darts

Hi. Since you are here you probably play, or know of Airsoft. The game with guns that shoot little plastic BBs at people. Well, not anymore. 

I am going to show you how to turn an ordinary push pin into a high-velocity dart, capable of sticking into a target a hundred feet away, or delivering an extremely loud and painful miniature warhead. These are quite reliable, and stick into things very consistantly. their only drawback is they are time consuming to produce, making the possibility of making large stockpiles of these darts very annoying. Obviously, THESE DARTS ARE NOT INTENDED TO BE SHOT AT PEOPLE UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES. 

Yep, thats right. if you want to terrorize your opponents, stick to normal ammo.

And now, without further blathering: LE INSTRUCTABLE! 

Step 1 Materials, ingredients, or parts.

To build these darts, you will need:

-Push pins (not thumbtacks, use the kind in the picture)
-Fast drying adhesive (i used hot glue, but CE glue or hobby glue would work fine too)
-Cap gun caps (mine came in rings so i had to cut them out)

I really need to reassemble the thing before I do that... I suppose I could, but I need a Youtube account to embed from.

Let me work on it, it may happen.

i need to make ammo like this for my potato cannons.......

[ilpug]

well, i would reccomend taking hte empty tubes that caulking comes in, and modifying them. with only a few wraps of tape they will fit snugly in a 2 inch barrel, and can be made to fly straight quite easily.

I believe lathing refers to wood

[ilpug]

it commonly does, however, metal lathes are also common in some industries. i just said it might be lathing because you are using a tool to shape a spinning object. its just semantics anyway.
