The NS-SWS Foam (and some Plastic) Ammunition Guide

Welcome to the Single-Shot Work Shop's Foam Ammunition Guide.

(Note: This page is going to be updated in the future.  More Pictures to come!)

Elite Darts

Welcome to The Nerf Single-Shot Workshop’s foam ammunition guide.  For now, we only have nerf and off brand ammunition listed.  No Boom Co., or Buzz Bee yet. (as of 11/15/17)

Nerf has made many…many…many different kinds of darts.  This is a guide to know what kind of darts your gun needs/can use.  If you know of a gun that is incompatible with a certain type of stock ammunition, then please let me know in the comment’s section.

Elite Darts: The main dart that nerf uses right now.  It is used in pretty much every currently running series they have.  Elite darts are universal, working in any nerf revolver, single-shot front loader, or clip system blaster.

                Elite darts are known to fly off target because of the air hole on the nerf dart head.  (Same problem with streamlines)

                Incompatible stock blasters:

-          Blue Longshot CS-6

Streamline

Streamline Darts: Streamline darts are the “predecessor” to the elite dart.  They were the standard clip system dart, but worked only in the clip system blasters and a handful of others.  Most nerf blasters have a dart post that is too long for the streamlines to fit.  (Because of the Streamline Dart’s long dart shaft.)

                Streamlines are infamous for being EXTREMELY inaccurate, and won't work in some blasters.  Out-dated, and un-necessary because of elite darts.

                Incompatible stock blasters:

-          Rampage

-          Magstrike CS-6

-          Nitefinder EX-1

-          Barricade RV-10 (They do not work well)

Accustrike

-          Many other blasters that have too long of a dart post.

Accustrike Darts: Released in 2017, and designed to be more accurate, they live up to their name!  Accustrike darts are what a nerfer needs.  A dart that can be used to actually hit something.  They are also designed as clip-system blaster darts, and having a shorter dart shaft (like it’s elite brother) and are generally universal in stock .05 inch blasters.  I do hear they don't work well in brass pusher breaches.

                Incompatible stock blasters:

-          None to my knowledge.

Micro Darts

Micro Dart: A form of Nerf’s first type of dart.  The “mega dart,” released with a suction head for the sharpshooter, was Nerf’s first dart.  Then, they downsized them, and became known as “rip rockets,” Later being known as Micro darts. These were the main darts back when I bought my first nerf gun.  They are only compatible in NON-Clip system blasters.  (Minus the Magstrike).

The main variation is the Sonic Micro Dart

Outback Nerf describes these darts as being “pin-point accurate.”  This makes great sense, as they lack the air hole that makes an elite and streamline dart inaccurate.

                Incompatible blasters:

-          Any clip system blaster (Exceptions: Magstrike)

Sonic Micro Dart (a.k.a. Screamin Micro Dart) & Tagger Micro Dart: Commonly referred to as the “Whistler Dart,” its name comes from the whistling (or sonic) sound it makes.  They have a main variant called: Tagger Micro Dart (The only difference is the Velcro on the head).  Another variant: Sonic Jet Dart (Had foam wings, and resembled an air plane.) The Sonic Micro is a variant of a Micro Dart.  They are compatible in any gun a micro dart is compatible with.

Tagger Micro Darts

                These will work in some clip system blasters, but MUST be placed on the top of the clip or hand fed. (Don't try it...just don't.) Some blasters won’t take them at all, however.

             

Sonic Micro Dart

   Incompatible blasters:

-          Any clip system blaster (Exceptions: Magstrike and any Dart tag integrated clip system dart.)

Suction Darts

Suction Dart: Didn’t I already go over this one? No.  The current, official suction dart is the elite suction dart.  They are more accurate, and are just as compatible.

                Incompatible blasters:

-          None to my knowledge.  (I think they work in the Blue Longshot...I might be wrong.

Special Series Ammunition

Mega Darts

Current Mega Darts: Large, red sonic micro darts that have their own series.  They are compatible with ANY modern Mega blaster, but ONLY Mega blasters (Minus the Dualstrike that accepts both Mega Darts and Elite Darts)
Mega Accustrike: Fixes the inaccuracies of the previous mega dart, and was first released with the Thunderhawk in 2018.  Pictures to come.

Rival High Impact Rounds: Released ONLY for the rival series.  Stock, they have superior accuracy and performance  to a Nerf Elite weapon.  The HIR’s are easily lost, however, due to their small size and amazing ability to hide.

High Impact Rounds

Vortex XLR Discs

XLR (Vortex) Discs (And Glow-In-The-Dark Discs):  These discs were the original “Long Distance” type of foam ammunition.  They curve after a certain amount of flight time, but their curve can be taken advantage of.  If you use it right, you can hit an enemy from BEHIND his barrier! Only Compatible with vortex series blasters.  Some called Glow-in-the-dart Discs can…glow in the dark. (Pretty obvious)  I would not recommend off-brand vortex ammo.  Not all 

Current Rockets: Released for the Demolisher 2-in-1, Tri-strike, and Thunderblast (The only 3 compatible weapons).

Current Arrows: Released for multiple weapons in multiple series.  Shaped like real arrows with Sonic Micro like heads, in the fact that they make a whistling sound.

Zombie “Repellant”: a.k.a. silly string meant fired from only two blasters.  The Abolisher ZR-800 and the Eraser ZR-100

Rare Ammunition that No-one would need to use:

Discs: Foam discs.  Pretty simple.  (Not to be confused with XLR Discs or Glow-in-the-dart discs)

Ballistic Balls: Released in 1989, they were the first multi-storage-capacity nerf ammunition

MULTIPLE Types of Rockets and Arrows.  The rocket was the first nerf ammunition type EVER.  Arrows have gone from foam cylinders with fins to actual arrow-styled “arrows” with whistling heads.  Rockets have been around since the start, and are currently available for two blasters…see above.  The titan rocket is only for one weapon: The (Big Bad) Titan.

-          Dude Perfect: 24” Arrow

-          Current Arrow

-          Elite Missile

-          Micro Arrows

-          Gear Tooth Arrows

-          Areo Gliders

-          (Many Many others…Most only work in one or two types of nerf weaponry)

Pen Dart: Released for one pen blaster, smaller version of a Micro Dart.

Sonic Jet Dart: Released for one blaster, essentially a sonic jet with foam wings.

Original Mega Darts: Originally released with the sharpshooter, are not compatible with current dart blasters.

Smart Dart: Don’t know much about this one…Seems to have a programable chip, and you can use a smartphone to check who it belongs to? (Some help here please?)

SuperMAXX Dart: Smaller and better than the micro dart, are similar to the idea of a suction-dart-stefan.  They are somewhat known for having good performance.  Released specifically for the SuperMAXX Series.

OFF-Brand/Homemade Darts

KO Elite Darts: Perform the same, but have less range.  Universal for Micro Dart sized weapons.

Full Vinyl Jackets: Fire almost as accurate as accustrike.  Universal for Micro Dart sized weapons.  They are banned at some nerf wars.  Imagine an elite dart with a solid, hard tip.  That is a FVJ.

KO Elite Suction Darts: (I have never used these before) I assume them to be as compatible as their nerf counterpart.

KO XLR Discs: Not recommended.  They are not as good as regular nerf discs.

KO Rival Ammunition: Definitely less-quality.  They are squishier, and only one of two will fire in an Atlas.  (Untested in electric rival weaponry, or other springers besides the Atlas...)

KO Current Mega Darts: (I have never used these before.) I assume them to be as compatible as their nerf counterpart.

Stefans: Accurate, and getting good range, you have to have a modified/homemade blaster for them to work (mainly, ripping out a dart post.).  I make mine out of cut FVJ’s.  Most are home-made, however, and many tutorials can be found on the internet.

Buzz-Bee Darts (Coming Soon…)

Boom Co. Darts (Coming Not So Soon…)
