Nerf Dart Post Removal Tools for Normal and Mega Size

thingiverse

Tools to remove the post from the barrel of a Nerf (or potentially other brands) of foam dart blasters so you can use more accurate half-length darts and have more options if you have to scavenge for ammo in a battle. Also to try out half-length Mega for laughs. Just slide the end with the + shape (or triangle for Mega) over the dart post to the end, insert a screwdriver into the hole on the opposite end as a grip and twist a bit in one direction, then the opposite direction, back and forth a few times and the post will break off. This should give a cleaner break the continuously going in the same direction. If the broken post is stuck in the tool you can poke it out with the screwdriver or a hex key or whatever will fit into the hole. I have successfully used it on a Elite Jolt, Zombie Jolt, Elite Roughcut, and 4Victory. The Mega sized worked on a Big Shock. If you try it on other blasters please comment with what works or doesn't work. I'd be interested to know if it works on Dart Zone, Zuru, etc. I mostly goof around with 3D print DIY blasters lately, but if I pick up something from one of those brands that has posts I'll try it out and update. I saw that 44sunsets had posted a tool like this [here](https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3225901) but I wanted to do a my own with a Mega and I thought using a screwdriver as a handle was a good way to save some print time and filament. I wanted to give a shoutout though as their tip for alternating the direction you twist is a good one.
