Then somebody put a hard vinyl tip instead of a soft one, and now they're translucent. I though maybe the weight distribution might be different with these, but no.

But I remember when ACCurates first came out. All the other knockoff darts were just Elite clones. The clones were cheaper, but pretty much performed exactly the same - crappy. ACCurates were one of the first with actual improved consistency. And compared with Gen-3's, they were extremely affordable.

I don't hate these Prototype darts, but I will warn you, flywheel blasters don't like 'em. They're a millimeter shorter than Elites and the rounded head leaves less for the flywheels to grab onto. Even with an upgraded dart pusher, my Stryfe jammed frequently with these darts. These darts are super popular with Nerfers in my country. After a nerf war, I managed to find one laying on the ground. Took it home and shot myself. Pretty painful.
