Metal-tipped and explosive Airsoft darts

This Ible' shows you how to make pointed or explosive 6mm darts out of household materials.

Obviously, these are dangerous, probably illegal, and a ton of fun.

Step 1: Materials

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 CA glue or hobby glue would work fine too)
-Cap gun caps (mine came in rings so I had to cut them out)

Add weight to the front of the exploding dart to make it fly straight

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.......

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.
