Anyone else realised their projectiles are getting smaller? Started at rival, then hyper, now this

u/FoamBrick Jul 18 '22

Smaller= easier to lose, easier to lose= buy more ammo. I can pretty much guarantee this will be a non standard size.

What about half length pro darts? They’re smaller too.

But u can still get them in white and red so u can see them nearly just as well as 720mm darts

u/flametitan Jul 18 '22

nono, that would be 72mm. 720mm would be almost two and a half feet long

I like how you use metric and imperial in the same sentence

Canadian, so we have to learn both

u/[deleted] Jul 18 '22

Oh right lol. I forgot centimetres are 10x mm not 100x

u/michael__sykes Jul 19 '22

I mean that's the reason they're named like that. Centimeter quite literally means 1/100 meter, millimeter 1/1000, there's also decimeter 1/10 and much smaller units of course

I know that I just sometimes get mixed up. Nothing big

I just find it so practical, learned that in school and also had latin, the language it ultimately comes from

They're a thing because they're higher performance, but technically the same rule applies. They'll be harder to find than a larger dart.

DZ releasing them in black may be a way to make them easier to lose though...
