First off, yes, my Sharpshooter came with finless, red suction cup darts. These have a much wider opening than what I would call "standard mega darts" as that's what my Sneak Shot and Rattler used. Those standard mega darts have a narrower opening and therefore are too snug around the plastic bit inside the Sharpshooter and will not fire properly. Follow me?

That's really interesting. I know exactly what you're talking about. The core of original Type 1 SharpShooter darts is wider, presumably to accommodate the funky dart post. So it only makes sense that the finless Type 2s would also follow suit, and have a wider core. I can't imagine Kenner would have retooled the Sharpshooter 2.0.

Using that logic, the Type 1 Mega Darts must have been adapted to have a smaller core. Because you're right, my Mega Darts have a standard ¼" center core. Just measured a couple with my new-fangled digital caliper. A ¼ inch exactly.

Like I said, I'd pay good money to get my hands on some SharpShooter darts. Then I could take some measurements and set the record straight. But at this point I'm inclined to think Type 1 & 2 SharpShooter darts are different from Type 1 & 2 Mega darts.

You may have disrupted the whole Nerf universe ADD. Nice job 😉

Would you be willing to loan me one of your Type 2s ? You can ask anyone around here, I'll take good care of it and return it pronto. I'd even pay shipping both ways. My e-mail is on my page.
