Performance

I usually recommend 12 inch barrel + MegaXL Spigot SCAR with SF25-TC or 5.5" k25 for maximum reasonable performance on the SLAB. It should hit ~220 fps.

Keep in mind that SCARs usually reduce performance a bit. If you plan to use a SCAR, make sure your barrel is long enough to come out the end of the muzzle for attaching the SCAR. Also keep in mind that a SCAR acts as a barrel lengthener to some extent.

The SCAR shown commonly on the SLAB is my MegaXL Spigot SCAR: https://www.printables.com/model/873465-spigot-scar-silly-scar-half-dart-and-megaxl

If you are looking to have a specific FPS for your build, buy the appropriate hardware kit from your seller of choice. They will have specs and FPS estimates for the springs/barrels they sell.

Darts & Mags

The SLAB is compatible with pretty much any half length dart. Most people either use darts from Worker, or darts from Dart Zone. The SLAB uses uses Worker Talon magazines (and other magazines compatible with Talon magwells, such as OOD Koda mags).

Dart Zone Darts:   https://dartzoneblasters.com/product/ruby-dart-half-length/ (Dart Zone also sells half length darts at Target and WalMart.)

SLAB uses Talon magazines from Worker: https://outofdarts.com/products/worker-15-round-straight-talon-short-dart-magazine-clip-6-colors

(There are printed Talon magazine replacements on the internet that you could use instead as well.)
