Fire a loaded dart wit a normal nerf gun and make it ignite in the air

[@A_Productions]

Can you make a self launching grenade/firebomb?

[@LegoDeskProductions]

you should make a mussel loaded version of this, using brass tubing as a barrel then using a similar setup to shoot but use a nylon cap behind the dart so it wont explode, and use more flash cotton to give it more power, maybe even use a revolving capacsiter holder that not only holds multiple shots but also recharges them

Add a "barrel" over the cap that is the full length of the interior of the dart. That should contain the gasses for longer and I imagine would shoot MUCH farther than the regular Nerf guns.

[@alexturnbackthearmy1907]

Almost like a gun! Wait a minute...

[@Someonewhoprobablyexists]

​@@alexturnbackthearmy1907 Funnily enough it literally is, all modern smokeless powder (usually just referred to as gunpowder nowadays) is granulated nitrocellulose aka flashcotton coated in a thin layer of graphite powder. All the graphite does is prevent the granules from clumping and make it harder to ignite without an intentional ignition source. It literally Is the same thing. No wonder its effective lol.

[@EmotionalSupportCube]

this was my first thought as well. it would also have the added benefit of increased accuracy since the flash cotton would be mostly expended before the dart left the tube, so it would work less as a rocket with no fins and more as a launched projectile that uses the body of the dart for stability.

[@NonEuclideanTacoCannon]

You need to stuff a slightly slower burning charge into the nose. It will ignite after the nitrocellulose and act as base bleed or like a sustainer motor, and significantly increase the range. You could also fashion some sort of converging/diverging nozzle to tuck into the end to optimize specific impulse, that should increase the range too.

[@cameronwebster6866]

Put hot glue into the hole in the tip.

[@siosilvar]

For distance, take a page out of Nerf modding from the 00s and make Stefans - 1/2" closed-cell foam backing rod, heat it up to make it straighten out, hot glue a BB to the front. Or you can cut down darts or even buy short darts off the shelf these days, they're the same weight but more aerodynamic because they've got less foam - though you're also cutting down on the size of propellant you can fit inside.

It is self propelled technically, as the cotton is contained in the nerf dart and the capacitor does not provide propulsion.

[@christianmichael4020]

Not sure if someone else mentioned (don’t have the patience to search 700+ comments) that there’s a teeny rocket motor that would fit in a nerf dart. Look up Micro Maxx rocket, they’re little .25” x 1” 1/8A motors meant for backyard flying, compared to the next size up Estes .5” x 1.75” 1/4A. The final solution you came up with is far safer though, no flying blowtorches of a nerf dart.

[@Beycrash]

Idea for improvement: using a small metal tube that fits inside the dart and is sealed on the capacitor side. The expandig gases could then accelerate the dart over a much longer distance.
