Now create a nerf dart that shoots a nerf gun
-
50BMG round that fires itself next

Remember, it’s faster to swap to your dart than to reload your Nerf Gun.

This feels just one step from making a dart blaster with self contained cartridges (and no in-built propulsion)
-
Joel being like Cave Johnson: We fire the whole bullet. That's 65% more bullet per bullet!

I love that David has become a regular part of the channel. We can all live vicariously through his child-like excitement over your projects.

This project was a literal banger! Definitely gonna blow up.
-
Add a "barrel" over the cap that is the full length of the interior of the dart. That should contain the gasses for longer and I imagine would shoot MUCH farther than the regular Nerf guns.
-
You need to stuff a slightly slower burning charge into the nose. It will ignite after the nitrocellulose and act as base bleed or like a sustainer motor, and significantly increase the range. You could also fashion some sort of converging/diverging nozzle to tuck into the end to optimize specific impulse, that should increase the range too.
-
That last line was amazing.
-
At this pace, in a few years we will get a self-jumping jump rope and a self-solving Rubik's cube
-
david saying"oooh that's nifty" made my whole week, rad dude.
-
Idea for improvement: using a small metal tube that fits inside the dart and is sealed on the capacitor side. The expandig gases could then accelerate the dart over a much longer distance.
-
You could also do Neodymium - Iron - Bore permanent launcher and a coil in the nerf bullet. With that kind of capacitor in the launcher you can achieve very powerful shots without burning your nerf projectiles
-
them flash cotton darts are getting really close to real cartridges lol

Can't believe it took the two of you so long to realize a spring loaded self firing dart.
