    SD stands for Single Dart. Also when you got the 96 FPS reading, you loaded the dart before you primed. All of the other lower values afterwards, you primed before loading the dart. I'm not sure if that makes a difference, but priming when the dart is in the barrel may suck the dart in further to create a better vacuum seal and give you consistent 90+ FPS.

    It's honestly baffling how they missed such a big opportunity with the 2.0 line. Even just the opportunity to make Accustrike the new standard or to at least just add another dang vent hole on the regular Elite darts to equalize drag in flight. They could pretty easily alter existing molds to make that little change. The whole 2.0 line has basically been Hasbro doubling down on being stingy, which is the exact opposite of what the brand is supposed to represent.

    The battery, switch and LED are all close together saving on wire: Hasbro is really cheaping out on the Elite 2.0 series, but not passing on the savings to the consumer.
    Side note - a momentary switch on the "laser sight" is better, tactically, than having it on all the time IMO.

    Ya... I’m switching to dart zone. It is the elite 2.0 that we needed

    SD stands for Single Dart, I wish they sticked with the EX and IX codes for blasters like these. Also its msrp is $9.99 not $14.99, walmart strikes again
