I would like to point out a few things.

1: increasing range only decreases accuracy with Elite darts or Streamlines. With Elites, the higher velocity causes them to swerve faster. This is not an issue with the blaster, instead it is combination of the little hole in the dart head  and the bad wieght distrubution of the dart, due to the lightweight head, which increases range at the expence of stability. From everything I have observed relating to dart accuracy, the flat head design of the Accustrike darts should give it very good stability at high velocity.

2: Rival does beat most dart blasters available, but it uses a completely different ammo type, making it diffucult to use in a nerf war. As to the ball being better, thats not entirely true. It has its merits, for example the option of hop-up, easy loading, increased durability, Etc, but What makes it great is that you can give it top-spin, called hop-up, making it very stable. However, if you made a dart spin by means of rifling, it would probably be far more stable in flight. Unfurtunatly there is no easy way to test this theaory, as there are no rifled 1/2 inch tubes available, short of using a 50cal barrel from a real gun.

6: N-strike Elite is not accurate. I am convinced that that is the fault of the dart, as they can be quite accurate with knockoff darts.

These are my theorys. If you disagree, have questions, or want clarification or documentation, just say so.
