Shotgun Nerf Dart

Shotgun Nerf Dart
The Nerf dart shoots and acts like a shotgun bullet.

I got this idea from N-Striker *and Celloman* from (their) idea of shotgun darts from knex.

I have also another idea I came up w/ from Stefans (from Twisted and other people) that you can use Split Shot Sinkers used for fishing. You still put the tic tac down the about lenght shown in step 4, but instead of filling with tic tacs, put (2) split shot sinkers size BB and then put a size PSS-7 sss in to seal it. Note (1): These darts are heavier that regular darts, and Note (2): I have done some testing on different nerf guns with these sss darts. That I know of, this only works on the (air restrictor and spring modded) longshot, possibly the attachment to the longshot, possibly the n-strike revolver thing, and possibly the Recon (small one). I have tested this also on the Recon CS-6, the (un-modded) longshot, and a couple of REALLY small guns, and those didn't work. If anyone would like to test these darts on other guns, that'd be okay.

I WONT BE RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY INJURIES SO DONT AIM FOR THE FACE AND WEAR EYE GEAR IF POSSIBLE.

Dec 27, 2009. 8:44 AMwillada1 says:
i did this with plastic bbs and it worked great try that instead of tic tacs
Oct 24, 2009. 5:24 PMNerfgenius says:
If you put a little tape on the dart ( to hold it in place), put a CPVC barrel on a Titan AS-V1 and fired this shotgun dart at close range, IT WOULD HURT LIKE CRAZY
Aug 18, 2009. 6:27 AMColonel88 says:
wait so i dont get whether a nerf gun is AIR (compressed because of drawing back the slide) POWERED OR spring POWERED. Please help
Sep 2, 2009. 6:34 PM~Aeronous~ says:
its powered by air and spring you nitwit jk when you cock it back, then it pulls a tube inisde a tube back, and theend of the tube is covered, so when you pull triggger, the springk, pushes the tube forward, blasting air out, nerf mods usually remove the air filters, otherwise it would be 2 powaful.

what he said
Jul 27, 2008. 8:46 PMThundertydus says:
how don't you get it? its got the big hole traveling through it, so the air just blows the shrapnel (btw it works better with airsoft pellets) out of the empty dart and leaves the dart in its place it doesnt work with any guns like recons or longshots
Oct 4, 2008. 8:13 PMkibbler says:
When i shoot mine, it also shoots the dart and pretty much explodes when it hits a target.
Aug 11, 2009. 5:49 PMmr. cool 384 says:
thats even beter it may not be a shotgun but u have made a frag grenade launcher XD
Jul 21, 2009. 3:54 PMThundertydus says:
To get it to work just get a buzzbee gun with a shell and tape the dart to the shells, that way it fires like a shotgun
Feb 25, 2009. 7:55 AMThundertydus says:
That's Uber Cool
Jun 24, 2009. 3:32 PMwats-a-username says:
or u could save ur bullets and by the buzzbee double shot
Oct 4, 2008. 8:14 PMkibbler says:
