Stefan dart profiling

It turns out nerf blaster performance depends heavily on the darts you are firing. Who knew? 🙂 After spending some time on Nerfhaven and poking around on the interweb, I decided to take on a profiling project for my collection of Stefan / cut down darts to see if we could gain some insight into dart performance. This page walks you through my process of profiling the types of darts I’ve been experimenting with.
