pressurized nerf bullet

I had an idea for a pressurized Nerf bullet where it would work similarly to a real bullet. The idea is that you could pressurize a bunch of these and put them into an automatic gun. This way the firing action is not what is powering the dart. In addition, the rate of fire could be faster.

Exploded view.

While a real bullet uses gun power, this bullet would use compressed air. This would also be shot off like a real bullet where a firing pin would strike the "primer" in the back.

Assembled view.

I envisioned the housing to be made mostly out of PVC so it could be glued together. To pressurize, you would first push the primer button up. Then force air through where the dart goes. And then push the pin back down.

I put a link to the files in case anyone is interested in building some. If you do build one, please send me pictures or video and tell me how it worked. Have fun!
