6mm airsoft BB's will shoot, 1/4" is probably a teeny bit big for them so they wouldn't be too accurate, but it'd work fine...

Darts... make metal bolts out of something... just walk around your house and stick stuff in there...

1 problem the only one that would work is jrrdw because this is not a mini and way to big for airsofts..this barrel is about 4 feet long and chamber is like 2 feet..well look at it tomorrow and then tell me more ammo suggestions
EDIT: scope urs would work to and im gonna try urs and jrrdws suggestions now

heres a good dart, they can be made for pretty much any size(1/4 might take alot of skill 
, maybe use needles instead of rods.

There are rules, and then there are hundred dollar bills.

@spudthug
It's not "too big for airsoft"; if thats what fits in the barrel then it works fine. If your point is, you want a heavier projectile, see if you can find some 1/4" ball bearings.
Jrrdw's idea is a great one. I'd try to attach a "tail" to the bolt somehow to stabilize it in flight. This would essentially make it a 1/4" bolt dart. Sharpen the tip?
Your barrel is *obviously* choking flow from a chamber that big. What kind of valve are you using?
