I just wanted to give you guys a heads-up that I've been very impressed by these Men-Gun darts I got earlier this month. Actually, they're billed as 6MILES 2016 Newest Design Darts. But the more I've used them, the more I like them. I've loaded them side-by-side in clips with a dozen other dart types to see how they perform. FVJs, clones, Nipples, Koosh, USCs, Elites, you name it. In every case, the Men-Gun darts performed better. They were more consistent, fewer whirlybirds, and less misfires.

But here's another  interesting thing. Most darts have a "bias" in the foam. Shredder, my upgraded CycloneShock is famous for exposing the weaknesses in darts. It's visually pretty obvious after a few shots. Some darts have a diagonal bias and lose material is wedge shaped pieces, starting at the tail (leftmost dart). Some darts have a concentric bias and disintegrate like onion skin, layer by layer (second from the left). Mind you, I've repaired that dark blue dart three times with Plumbers Goop, just to keep it viable. But the two Men-Gun darts on the right aren't showing any signs of structural bias. I've fired those darts hundreds of times, and they look as good as the day I got 'em. Even Shredder is having a hard time damaging these darts.

So if you're looking for a good, economical, tough dart to replace those raggedy ol' Streamlines you'e been hoarding, this might be it. And at $5 USD per hundred it's practically a steal. (pssst, Amazon Prime members get free shipping and 2-day delivery. Just sayin')
