      I could see that working, if a hole was cut in the shaft right in front of the clothespin to act as a mag well. You’d probably have to move the string around the darts and then manually slide them back into the clothespin, but it still seems doable.

    • @dawsonreum8096
      @dawsonreum8096 3 года назад

      @@isaacbailey3681 what about a mag on top upside down? Have it just fit on so the top dart just touches the main body of the crossbow. Then you pull the elastic band under the dart and attack to paper clip and fire. To secure the mag you would have to have something behind the paper clip that comes over it to hold the mag in place. But then your stock would need to be made out of something a little bit stronger than paper. Maybe you could make the stock a triangular prism made out of cardboard and hot glue? And I am not 100 percent sure about what to make the support for the mag out of, maybe do the same thing, but have 2 so you form an upside down L?

    You can find a type of pipe that's about the size of the hole in a nerf dart (I don't have a dart or the pipe on hand to check), but their are s few issues, 1. That type of pipe is called a supply line not a pipe, 2. I's not exactly a household item as they're often replaced with a type of stainless steel tubing, and 3. They aren't PVC and are actually very flexible and not rigid.
    Another thing is that there are actually two kinds of pipe called "PVC". There's actual PVC pipe, which is white in color, and CPVC pipe which is slightly yellowish in color. They are functionally identical, however CPVC is slightly smaller than PVC, but are listed as the same size (IE a 1/2' PVC pipe would be slightly larger than a 1/2" CPVC pipe). My guess is they where talking about CPVC pipe in the article, which might be just small enough that the dart gets a better seal. Maybe.
