Yes, a couple of different ways. Plumbers Goop, tape, silicone caulk, it doesn't seem to have any effect. I think the NIC has come to the consensus it's just bad aerodynamics. It's the design of the dart head and the weight distribution that makes genuine Nerf Elite darts so bad. The hole only adds to the long list of problems.

Hence the AccuStrike. Hasbro finally adopted the flat head, the cylindrical profile, and made them 10% heavier. Aesthetically, I think they're the best looking dart out there. Maybe tied with the Z-Dart for coolness. The only downside is the price. And ta-da, that's why we have AccuClones.

I have found one good use for Elite darts. In multi-dart blasters like the SledgeFire and custom builds like this CycloneShock, Nerf Elites provide a little spread due to their inconsistency. There's no sense in all three shots hitting the exact same spot, right ? Some spread is good.

So who says Elites ain't good for nothin' ?
