I just went and measured what I have laying around with my digital calipers. It is all just over.6. Not sure what to think about that. I'm glad I didn't order.50 cal darts!
Is all 1/2 Inch PVC scd 40 about .600 ID ?
Went to two big hardware box stores just to check out PVC for fun as lots of folks are using it and thought I might make a Nerf gun using it, and to my surprise the ID is .600 or a little bit more ??? I thought 1/2 Inch scd 40 was supposed to be right around 1/2 inch. It was the same size at both stores ?
Am I looking at the wrong stuff, it says scd 40 1/2 inch on the pipe ?

Ya it is.... I don't know how anybody uses that stuff unless they make their own darts or don't care about accuracy at all. The air pass by must be tremendous !I just went and measured what I have laying around with my digital calipers. It is all just over.6. Not sure what to think about that.

If you go to a lumber yard like Home Depot or Lowe’s, look for 1/2” Schedule 80, conduit the size is just a bit larger than .50”
I just measured the Schedule 80 PVC Conduit and it is .530. The diameter of the .500 dart cone is .480". I made some Nerf blowguns or our grown kids and they loved them. The 1/2' foam darts work really well and shoots harder then the nerf gun.
