To clear things up, you're talking about the front attatchment that fires 4 darts, not the Tri-Strike itself (the magazine fed one).

The front piece uses something called a smart air restrictor, which is an innovative component that Hasbro has patented. How it works is not important, and it is of course not without flaws.

The air has to travel all the way to the 4th dart to propell it. it takes more time for the air to travel to the 4th one than the 1st one. This is why usually the 4th dart performs worse than the other 3. Say you have 2 more darts, the 3rd one and the 4th one. As you pump it, some air gets leaked to the 4th one, projecting the 3rd one and will push out the 4th one a bit. To fix this is, put brass pipes in where the darts come out, this will increase the dart fit, and needs more pressure to pop out. It also may improve the performace of the 4th dart. I'm not sure what size brass accomodates MEGA darts, so ask others on this Wiki.
