Details
Edit
The Micro Dart was one of the most common Nerf dart types during the years of its popularity. A basic Micro Dart features a suction cup head that will stick to most smooth surfaces, even when fired at long range. The Micro Dart is rather small and is used in many non-clip system blasters.
The Micro Dart served as the basis for many other dart types, such as the Whistler Dart and Tagger Micro Dart.
History
Edit
It was first introduced in 1993. Production of the Micro Dart has continued since then. It was the successor to the popular Mega Dart and went on to outlive it. When introduced, it was commonly known as a "Rip Rocket", due to the fact that the Rip Rockets series was the first series to use Micro Darts.
In 2012 it was essentially replaced by the Elite Dart, which comes standard with N-Strike Elite blasters.

Trivia
Edit
- The Micro Dart is often used in single-fire and revolver-type blasters. However, it has started to be replaced by the Whistler Dart. Refills for Micro Darts can still be purchased, but the Whistler Dart is starting to be packaged with Nerf blasters.
- They are extremely hard to find in the United Kingdom as most of the blasters that would have Micro Darts in the United States or other countries are replaced by Whistler Darts or Sonic Micro Darts in the United Kingdom.
- Strangely, on Nerf N-Strike, clip system blasters use these even though they don't have streamlined heads.
