Holy Cannoli, a ten pack of Nerf Mega Accustrikes is $13.40 USD on Amazon. I ordered one pack just to see what they're like. But at that price they're simply not affordable for the vast majority of Nerfers. In case you didn't check them out, I only paid $10 for sixty Mega AccuStrikes. To get sixty Nerf Megas would cost over 80 dollars ! (That's more than a RapidStrike, AND the HammerShot you could buy for the same money)

The other thing I just learned is Nerf Mega AccuStrikes have a whistler port. Thank you Cerr, Jet, and Flat. Unfortunately, that means these darts aren't going to be very consistent. The way the whistler port works induces a small amount of drag on the ported side of the dart. Via that drag, the dart's kinetic energy is converted to sound energy. As a result, the dart will have a tendency to list toward the ported side and induce instability. Ooops, sorry, I geeked out there for a moment 😊

Bottom line, these knockoff Mega AccuStrikes are incredibly consistent because they adapted the Elite sized AccuStrike dart head into the larger Mega dart design. Not only are they beautiful, they perform beautifully. When I look at the Nerfs, I can't believe they changed the design. Hasbro spent all that time and money making a better dart, then just threw it all away when it came time to update the Mega dart. It just blows me away. I'm quite serious, those NFStrike guys out-Nerfed Hasbro. Their Mega AccuStrikes are awesome.

Sorry for writing a whole novel again. My bad.
