Funny story about my Mega darts - I only have twelve of 'em. A couple years back I bid on a Pro Bass Shop ERTL on eBay and won it. Some of you young whippersnappers have probably never heard of it before, but it's the blaster the legendary "Doomsayer" is based on. Google it. It does not look or feel like a toy. It's like someone glued a Nerf blaster on the end of a real shotgun. It's awesome.

So the ERTL arrived with 12 Mega darts still in the cylinder. And they must have been in there for years because I had to disassemble the turret to get those darts out. They were literally fused to the inside cylinder wall, and I had to meticulously extract them one by one.

After all that work, I was so disappointed that the ERTL only took Mega darts. The diameter is too big for Elites, and just too small for modern Mega darts. So there it sits on my workbench waiting to be rebarreled for Elites and AccuStrikes. Project #327, right behind "clean rear rain gutters" and "paint shed trim" 🙄
