It's the first one on the left, to the right of the jig in that pic up there. They're super accurate, extremely fast, and fit perfectly in any blaster without a dart post. When I'm plinking, it's pretty much all I use. Downside, they're expensive because I make 'em out of genuine Nerf Elites.

There's a lot of opinions out there about what length to cut stefans. Some swear 1/2" is optimum. Others say 2" is perfect. Yada, yada, yada. Optimum length depends on your blaster, I'm sure. Try a few, be your own judge. 1-1/2" has always worked great for me.

What's that they say about life being a series of compromises ;-) Try making them out of cheap knock off darts.
