Chronograph and Elite mods, 28 days later...

So it's been awful dead here.

I guess all the action has moved over to NM&R as of late, but I do know this place still exists and I am still a member. I'm not sure what the plans are for this place or if this post should be placed here given the NM&R deal, so if you want to move it or me over, that's OK. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to post much of anything back in the day due to being busy and having a distinct lack of new mods or any other nerf-related material, so sorry to Darthrambo for not being the contributor I should have at the time.


Anyway... now to business.

First of all, this is the latest addition to my nerf gear, a Chrony F1 chronograph.

Nerf Elite Dart Conversion

With the release of the elites and elite darts some might feel as if old streamlines are now totally obsolete.  While it is true that the new elite darts get better range and accuracy it isn't impossible to safely mod the old orange streamlines to fly just as good, if not better than elite darts.

The main difference between the elite and the old streamline is that the heads post is much shorter in the elite.  This makes the dart more front heavy causing less fishtailing and better range and accuracy.

You can pull out the dart head from old streamlines and simply clip the post down.  This will give it the same weighting as an elite dart.  When you glue the dart head back into the foam make sure that you turn the head so you spread the around the entire post so no air can escape when firing.

Elite darts are significantly lighter than the old streamlines allowing you to cut off .3g of the post to get equal wight.
