Yeah, you CAN do a tube mag for soft darts with no shells; it's been done. I forget the name, but it's an off-brand blue/white/clear pump-shotgun-style dart blaster that you push darts into individually and it has ratcheting flippers that move them along and stop them from moving backwards.

But clearly the priority on this Winchester build was to maximize "real-steel authenticity".

I wonder if you can make your own shells by just cutting up a piece of CPVC to precise lengths. THAT would make them pretty disposable and easy to mass-produce, whereas the loss of a 3D-printed shell of any size is tragic and expensive.
