I think the design of the AR plays into it too. The first shots from a Triad will often loosen the latter darts because the seal in the Smart AR isn't perfect. A little air seems to leak through and push the last two darts forward just a milimeter or two, causing problems with poor range and misfiring.

As Mojo pointed out, the problem is exacerbated by worn darts, or even new ones that don't fit snugly. Especially in Smart AR blasters.
