You kinda lost me there D². There is officially only one diameter for Elite class darts - ½ inch (12.7mm). I have never seen modified darts that are thinner. Slightly thicker, yes, but never thinner.

Think about it, thinner darts would be terrible in a springer or air powered blaster. They wouldn't fit in the chamber/cylinder tightly enough to capture all the air from the plunger tube. They'd perform horribly.

The "space leftover by the propulsion flywheels" is defined by the "crush" of the flywheel cage. Darts shouldn't easily flow through the space between the flywheels because they need to grab the darts firmly. They do that via friction, therefore it needs to be nice and tight. With good motors, the higher the crush the better the flywheels grab, the farther the darts go. Not the other way around.

Look, I'm not sure what any of this has to do with the thread, but whoever you quoted in your post doesn't speak Engrish goodly. Bottom line, Mastodon motors and flywheels aren't a good match for integrations with Elite dart blasters. With or without thinner darts.
