Make a precision product

Unfortunately I bought 2 boxes of these and haven't been able to have 1 magazine load of them work. Nothing but jams every time I pull the trigger. I have tried them in sig 365 Walther cp99c glock 19x Beretta apx. Bb's are undersized and Not round. They measure between .157 to .167 depending on moving bb to different measure point. I measured 3 other brands of Bb's I own. Sig @. 172, daisy @.173, Crosman @.174 all of which measure the same at any position. Do not use these in any mag style gun. Might be OK in bolt action but haven't tried and won't bother. Called Air venturi to register a complaint but never had anyone answer the phone after 1/2hr on hold. Great idea, terrible product and quality control. I do not recommend the use of these in any gun as manufacturing tolerance indicate they will go wherever they want, not where your aiming. I am a millwright by trade that works down to the millionth of an inch. I have seen better quality control making ping pong balls.

Better than the first model.

Needs to be more crispy.

I did not know the humidity will influence it.!?

Nothing

N/A

Got a Glock 19 BB Pistol. Shot over 2000 rounds without a jam. Loaded the clip with Dust Devil BB's and it jammed on the first shot. The BB's exploded inside the barrel and jammed it pretty bad. These BB's are probably made for a gun that has less power <410 fps. Will not attempt to shoot them again.

MK II is much more accurate than the original. Less fliers and very good grouping.

Dust Devil BB's do not load and/or feed correctly in Crosman's new DPMS high capacity BB mag. They work great in original mags.

I love these BB's! Great for indoor use as they are frangible and will usually disintegrate on most objects ( have a range in my garage and shoot a lot of tin cans). Outdoors, I use these a lot for pest control in the garden. I'm using them in a simple Daisy Red Ryder and find they are comparable to steel without the pesky ricochet factor.

They do fail to load occasionally due to random rough edges on a few of them but that's my thought, may not be the ammo. The cost would be better if lower but still a good value as is.

I expected a lot from these babies, but all I got was jammed pistols over and over again

One thing I would change is just not buy them. I believe the band around the bb is whats causing the jams

If you want the frustration of a jammed gun Then go ahead and buy these.

Full disintegration, decent to accuracy .

Package, make it in a tin can. Easy to load and store..

Works as advertised

I like the fact that these bbs are not as fragile as I originally thought. In fact it takes some considerable force to break them. They work well with my ASG CZ P09.

The package

The belly band is almost non existent.

Safe

????

Nothing

The MK2 seems to feed better in my magazines than the original design.

Lower the price.

These things still bounce around especially when shot from co2 guns getting low on gas. Accuracy seems about the same as original.

Shoot good

Do not break apart easily when hitting a target.

good to try out

The reduced rebound, and the fact that they will work even with a loading mechanism which uses magnets, requiring ferrous BBs. The BBs were very consistent in appearance.

The non-spherical shape. Although I didn't seem to have any resulting accuracy issues, it just "feels wrong" to me.

The manufacturer's website says that they're intended for a minimum of 1.5 ft-lb of muzzle energy. I shot them from a pistol which claims to shoot standard steel BBs at 320fps, which I calculate to be more like 1.25 ft-lb. The air temperature was 59 degrees (F), reducing the muzzle energy further, and I was shooting at a steel trap with a single angled steel back (not an pellet trap, but a .22/.17 trap) about 5 meters away. As far as I could tell, every one of the BBs shattered on impact, with no particles leaving the trap or coming back at me. Nearly all of the BBs were within about an inch-and-a-half circle from a partial rest. A tighter group may have been possible with a real bench rest or a more skilled shooter. I did not attempt to measure the BBs for consistency of weight or size.

These bbs are amazing. They actually are safer than normal bbs. I use these bbs when needed. They actually are faster than normal bbs abd they shatter upon impact making them a lot safer especially for indoor plinking. They turn into dust.

Wouldnt change a thing about these frangible bbs. Im very satisfied with the extra safety they provide.

If your looking for added safety when you need to just have some plinking fun. I recommend the dust devil frangible bbs to everyone. Having a blast at indoor plinking without any safety worries and they are made to shatter upon impact.

I truly did not know these existed! Way too cool! I shot plate steel, at 10 yards, and you could hear the "splash" as the bb hit the target! No ricochet!

Nothing

A safer way to shoot plate steel with a bb gun! There was no ricochet at all! Always wear eye protection!

The BBs turned to dust after penetrating 4 layers of heavy cardboard.

Nothing needs to be changed as of this date.

At close range (under 10 feet) it will penetrate hard cardboard.

Just about everything

Lower price

Can't sp
eak for every gun but it works well in my Glock 17 adding fps to an otherwise weak gun.

These are really required for guns that have higher velocities. They are remarkable and do eliminate ricochet from the BB.

Size may need an upgrade.

I noticed some of these tend to roll out of shells. Having noticed this I lubed them and reduced this problem.

didn't like

Not really round. Would not go through barrel of my sig 365.
