Found this foam flinging ballista made by Hex Bug at Costco. You may know then as those people who made the robotic silverfish that are probably hiding somewhere in your vents.

Anyways, the ballista that I needed to build actually came with some white darts, the exact same size as MEGA darts. Yes, they are in fact cross compatible, I tried it with the Magnus.

The darts themselves are horrid quality compared to Nerf darts, or even XL darts by Buzz Bee. The body is this sort of pool noodle/antistatic foam, and it wasn't packaged seperately from the pieces the were used to build the crossbow, so it had a bunch of scratches on it.

The performance however isn't half bad (Not the crossbow, the crossbow couldn't shoot for cookies. Although it is probably better than the Tek 3). They might actually be more accurate than MEGAs, since they have a solid rubber tip on the end. I might use these whenever I can. The problem? There's only 3 of them. And the product was $25. I don't think the darts will be sold seperately.

And yes, since the darts are compatible in MEGA blasters, that means MEGA darts are compatible with the actual product. Not that it makes the performance any better.

The other 2 products bundled with this one shoot foam balls, or I'm assuming they are foam. It would be really cool if those were compatible with RIVAL or maybe ballistic balls. Ok, that's a bit to far fetched. Nerf on, fellow humans (and potato).
