Things I liked:

Absolutly nothing

Things I would have changed:

Make them a little more durable while in the gun so as not to cause jamming. They seem to have a band around the circumference,, they need to be more totally spherical

What others should know:

I bought these to try in my Springfield Armory 1911 blow back CO2 BB gun and they started shredding steel particles in the magazine and jammed the magazine and gun within 4-5 shots. It took a magnetized drive punch to get all the shavings out.

    Things I liked:

    These will not work in my Makarov Legends gun. They won't even cycle. The trigger is locked with the safety in fire mode. I thought I would throw them away. Then I tried them in my Daisy 426 top loader and they fire every time. Fired through a 5" by 5" target into an iron target trap they disintegrate every time. They are perfect for firing when I am in my living room. Added plus I don't have to lock my cat in one of the bedrooms. I will only shoot them indoors from my Daisy gun. For that limited use they are amazing.

    Things I would have changed:

    Make them so they are not gun specific but I doubt that could be done.

    What others should know:

    They are expensive. Google before you buy them and make sure they will work in your gun.

    Make without a sprue so they don't jam.

    What others should know:

    These bb's jam in EVERY gun I've tried them in. I only wish Pyramid would give me a full refund. Don't waste your money on these.

    Things I liked:

    Many would fragment as designed.

    Things I would have changed:

    Over 40% of those few shot, either jammed in the magazine or ricocheted back like I was shooting steel bb's.

    What others should know:

    These do not work in my CO2 Colt Defender. They constantly jam or fail to designate. Maybe they'd work better out of a longer barrel revolver or rifle.

    Things I liked:

    Came free with an order, rolls outta the barrel in several of my guns... Even with 700 fps they don't "turn to dust" shot into a pellet tin at 10 and 20 yards... They chip, but do NOT "turn into dust" Glad they was free...

    Things I would have changed:

    Ummm, make them less hard, so they will turn to dust, that'd be an awesome squirrel or pest bb iffen they did brake up after hitting pests, they'd be deadly then...

    What others should know:

    Roll outta barrels without magnets bolts, not even close to the real bb size, they look like a UFO shape...
    Don't turn to dust, wouldn't even work in the pistol they came with, that's bad lol!!!

    Things I liked:

    Shatters reliably against things it can't penetrate with sufficient power/velocity behind it

    Things I would have changed:

    Feed poorly in co2 pistol magazine and often tries to jam or spits out part or entire magazines worth before loading. The slightest diameter increase or more consistent sizes, some change to prevent them going past before they're meant to, normal BBs do not have this issue

    What others should know:

    Don't always shatter into dust, sometimes stay in small but low energy fragments. Experienced this while testing/experimenting at 5-10m, felt small bits gently hit my pants below the knee, good coverage eye protection encouraged for close range

    Things I liked:

    Was hoping to at least get marginal accuracy and the higher FPS. Like others have said, they do not cycle in magazines very well, and accuracy is abismal. So, nothing I like about these BBs and would not be purchasing them again.

    Things I would have changed:

    First, lose the center band on the BB. I'm sure they can be manufactured completely spherical. That alone would probably solve the magazine feeding issues as well as the subpar accuracy.

    What others should know:

    Stick with traditional BBs unless your objective is to delete CO2 powerlets. These BBs are useless otherwise

    What others should know:

    These are not a uniform shape the only gun I can use these in our single shot. They bind up in multi shot and won’t come out.

    Things I liked:

    Theres nothing that I like with these BBs. They get crushed inside the BB mag, causing it to get stuck.

    Things I would have changed:

    Make it a little harder and remove the ridge in the middle area, and maybe it will roll smoother inside the magazine..

    What others should know:

    This BBs sucks. dont buy it, I had to remove the mag several times for a 16 bb fill, just to push the stuck BBs with a toothpick and remove the crushed ones

    Things I liked:

    I liked the idea of being able to shoot BBs at mechanical/stationary metal targets without too much worry about ricochet.

    Things I would have changed:

    Make them shootable in all types of BB guns. May work as a single load/shoot projectile and I will further experiment but as a small group of 5 they would not cycle in a Crossman 788. Perhaps undersized they failed to fire properly jamming barrel and found their way into inside of receiver jamming it as well.

    What others should know:

    If you experiment with them hopefully you can dissemble/reassemble your gun should they not function properly.

    More Quality Control. Make them so they can survive spring loaded magazines.

    What others should know:

    I have not tried these in any magazine that was not spring loaded. I did try them a Crosman R1, a Legends MP 40, Thompson, a Luger, and a M1 carbine and a 1911. They jammed every one. I should have stopped with the first gun, but was hoping to use them up in something. The worst was with the Luger and M1 carbine. Bits of BBs got everywhere through them and the Luger and M1 misfeed now. I think these BBs messed with the feed ramps on a couple of the magazines.

    Things I would have changed:

    I would not manufacture these things.. . .I would go broke if I did.

    What others should know:

    Extremely poor accuracy. . .
    Mine didn't explode to dust with a Crosman 1600 C02.
    Mine did a great job of sticking into the wood about as far as a BB without exploding.
    They have a "ring" around them. . .a possible cause of inaccuracy of these pellets.
    These were a promotion gift when i purchased a Daisy 901. I would never purchase these.

    Things I would have changed:

    Pretty much everything.

    What others should know:

    Couldn't fire the first BB. Loaded a magazine for my Sig P365 blowback - couldn't pull the trigger. Disassembled gun several times, inspected, cycled with empty mag, etc. Still no luck every time I tried the mag with Dust Devils. Emptied the mag, loaded a few steel BB's and the gun worked perfectly. The ring around the equator of the BB (can't remember what it's called) seemed to interfere with the gun's action - trigger was locked like safety was ON. Steel BB's worked flawlessly. Nice idea but not enough R&D or quality control.
