Broken Nerf Darts? Fix 'em Up!

Hey, people of Instructables. I've had two events happen to me recently:
1. I finally figured out how to get pictures of off my Nintendo DSi
2. I spent $3.00 on a Nerf Raider CS-35 from a Yard Sale.

Thing is, though, that the Raider's darts were all dinged up and busted. But I found a simple fix to this......

For this, you will need:
-Masking Tape
-Scizors
-Torn and tattered Nerf darts

Now that you have the materials, start cutting up the tape and layering it over the Nerf Dart. Make sure that the tape is even, and is about 2 coats thick. Also be sure that all of the holes are covered.

Simple, no? Repeat this step for all of your darts. One important thing, though: Make sure that the center of your darts is strong. If needed, add more tape. If the core of the darts isn't strong, well, see picture 3.


This also works with drat tag darts, but I suggest just taping the ends for a snugger fit into the barrel of the gun.
