I realize some of you guys are relatively new to the Wiki, and maybe to Nerfing, but dart performance is all about ballistics, not aerodynamics. There are hundreds of posts on this wiki and other forums that describe how Nerf darts actually work, and which characteristics are actually important, and why some darts work better than others.

Despite what the article on this Wiki says, it has nothing to do with aerodynamics, length, size, "unbalancing", fishtailing, or holes in the dart head. That's all outdated information. Today we know it's about shape, weight, center of gravity, and tail induced turbulence from the blaster.

When some of you guys talk about Stephans*, length, wings, and aerodynamics, you look like noobs. And you perpetuate the misinformation. Seriously guys, just stop. Take a primer, do some research, then get back to us.

(*) It's, not Stephans. First big noob mistake 😛
