When I used to play darts competitively in the 80s, several of my teammates and I used Hammerhead darts; these darts had movable points inside a threaded sleeve that screwed into the tungsten/nickel barrel of the dart. The point was in the extended position and upon impact with the board," the barrel would move forward a little and ""hammer"" the point in a bit deeper (this was designed to reduce bounce outs when hitting the wire on the dartboard.) We used Loctite in the threads to keep the sleeves from unscrewing out of the barrel. It's very effective stuff. In fact", I used some the other week to keep the threaded bolts in my front door from loosening.
