Ten thousand bonus points for Zuna ! That is absolutely correct, they are consistent because they have flat heads. If you've noticed, all of the good darts these days are flat heads: AccuStrikes, AccuFakes, Z-darts, Waffle Heads, K'nex, Rad Eagles, etc.  (sorry if I missed your fave)

As it turns out, at the speeds typical for Nerf darts, a flat head is the most aerodynamically stable profile. Recent high-speed photography has revealed that rain drops are actually shaped like Hershey's Kisses, not the stereotypical tear-drop shape we were all taught in grade school.

So it makes sense that all these flat headed Nerf darts perform so much better than the dome shaped Elite darts of the past. RIP Nipple Darts. You were pretty. Pretty inconsistent 😛
