The Streamline darts are only for the nerf guns that use clips. Any nerf gun that doesn't use a clip can use the regular suction cup darts or the whistler/sonic micro darts better. You can find Streamline darts at the nerf website in a huge bundle (200 rounds!) or you can buy them from the ammo boxes (they can hold 300 shots but only come with 100). If you get a vest or a bandolier and some extra clips, you can load the clips ahead of time and have them ready. You can even make a kind of grenade out of a bunch of streamline darts using a rubber band close to the plastic tips.

If you use the modern N-Strike Elite darts, I got ranges of about 40 feet! You will LOVE THIS GUN! Just TAKE OF THE SHOTGUN BARREL OFF THE FRONT. It takes the range down 30 feet and doesn't fire 6 feet.I give this gun 5 stars for overall with n strike elite darts.

why do you need to buy new darts anyway? I thought the thing came with 12 or so darts?

Yes, I am running it on my Elite Alpha Trooper and have used old darts, new elite blue darts and elite zombie strike without issue. I have Elite Recon and do not think I have had issue.Also no issues in my older Recon or Stampede.

Well, the wonder of slingshots is you can pretty much use any kind of ammo and it will work amazing. There really is no, "best ammo," Just more or less how heavy you want what you shoot to hit.

The scope is a weird dot thing that I took off and just used the sights. Sights can be dialed in some but for me it still ended up high.As for game, well I guess you could. It does get going pretty fast. I have a cardboard box stuffed to the brim w old denim and even still it gets about half the dart in. Those darts are fairly pointy. That said, the while it *could* be done, its main purpose in life is to be a novelty crossbow. You can't (in my area) take it to the archery range and the gun range starts wondering if they're being pranked. It's a toy for grown ups. Don't expect anything and you won't be disappointed. :-) The scope is a weird dot thing that I took off and just used the sights.

Yes, the "laserlyte system" is much better than the "sirt trainer/pistol" primarily because, as indicated by "C Wigley" above and/or below, your're practicing with the same weapon which you are actually going to be shooting; however, I must respectfully take exception with his recommendation to NOT buy the laserlyte target ... if for no other reason than the laserlyte target provides lasting "feedback" to study/evaluate regarding the actual point of impact that you just can't get from other fixed targets which he uses; therefore, I HIGHLY recommend using BOTH the cartridge & target. Just sayin' . . . to each his own! ;&gt;) Pricing has noticeably dropped since the laserlyte products were initially introduced on the market! - Good Luck!

I highly recommend the orange front sight post. I have multiple sets all in orange and it really Jumps out at you when you are looking for fast acquisition. As to the other question point of aim is point of impact. It's is a large front sight post so your basically putting the center of the post where you want to hit.

Not only do different guns like different pellets. Different guns of the same model and caliber like different pellets. I just shoot targets. I start with wadcutters. (flat nosed)My experience is most any wadcutter will out shoot anything else. I shoot lead pellets. I've found most alloy pellets are all over the target and cost to much. You have to experiment to find the pellets it likes then experiment more to find the one it loves and the holes are touching.

Really? ...Yes. If you try to smush three or four darts into a single hole. Otherwise, it's not a automatic or semi-automatic, it doesn't have a revolving cylinder, it doesn't have a rotating bolt... It's a one shot Nerf gun. It jams just like a sling shot or break action shotgun. Meaning it doesn't.

I have just started with the Bushmaster .223. I bought the LULA right away, works great. I just bought some ammo with the stripper clips and I have to say the LULA is better for me. I can load rounds pretty fast with the LULA. The stripper clips are fast once you get that tab pushed out, but it can be difficult to push and you can get jabbed if not too careful. Worked with the stock bushmaster mag and some magpul pmags.

purchase of this particular field salute cannon was ENTIRELY misleading as to the appropriate ammo product to accompany the cannon...in this case Bangsite carbide ammo was mentioned leaving the impression this was the ammo required.....apparently NOT TRUE!!! I feel I have been mislead and victimized to purchase something (ammo) which has no connection to the item I purchased. I would also appreciate knowing where/how to purchase the items not included with the Kennesaw field cannon to make it operate as advertized!!!!!

I bought this one for my dad, but I have 2 others for my Smith & Wesson and my Beretta, and neither one of these needs any lubrication to work perfectly. Have you tried this loader with more than one type of ammo?I would instect the feed ramps for and burrs or imperfections, short of that or the ammo being the problem, I would send it back and get a replacement item. All mine work great and my dad says his works great, you may just have a bad one.Sorry, I hope this helps.Taylor

I presume you mean Nerf darts. :-) It is designed to work best with Elite style darts and the original orange tipped darts. Do not try and use the whistle type with bigger tips as they can get stuck in the rotating magazine. Hope this helps?

Every other or every third loop, but not one round each in adjacent loops. OR, load more hi-cap mags on a belt or in a [molle-type] vest. That could save a whole lot of precious time when the real need is to send 'em downrange - quickly. Won't happen from a bandolier. OR, use the rounds from their OEM box. Bottom line - what was the intention for having & using this bandolier? Probably no right or wrong answer on this one. Have fun with it, tho.

Most Nerf darts (Elites, Suctions, Whistlers, Velcro Taggers) will work with this blaster. The one big exception are the old N-Strike non-Elite streamlines (typically orange tips with orange bodies); these darts have a longer connecting post connecting the tip to the body (making the hole in the dart shallower), and consequently, will not load into the blaster properly and not fire.

I've used several and did a test of my own on what I have and my favorite is the pellet that has a small copper BB on top. I have it right here but there's no name. It was the more accurate and I have the Predator Polymag, 16 grain. They are lead with the red plastic pointed insert on top. The one I like for distance is the RWS, Hyper Velocity Pellet. Green plastic with the I believe lead pointed top. Do you know how to make not so snug pellets more snug? Carefully put a BB at the open/bottom end of pellet, tap ever so lightly with a gunsmith hammer and it will spread it out a little. Check the fit. Might take a few tries. Gives better FPS.
