It's not the velocity that kills darts, it's the shear force of all the compressed air. Compressed air always looks for the quickest way to be de-compressed or released right? Well, if you have too much pressure, the quickest way out will be through the foam of the dart instead of pushing the dart out of the barrel. So it really doesn't depend on the velocity, it has to do with darts having holes in them for dart pegs, which allows the air to enter the darts and then punture it if the pressure is too high. If you plug the hole, you shouldn't have any problems with darts being murdered.
