Page 4 - Air Venturi Dust Reviews

I ordered these BB's for the heck of it since I ordered some magazines for my CO2 pistol and figured since I was paying shipping to PyramydAir, I might as well get them. I loaded up one of the new magazines for my XBG pistol and shot at a number of objects in my front yard. Interesting on a plastic trash can, the BB's leave an impression in the plastic but don't bounce back.

The crappy cardboard box. A plastic bottle would be better than that box.

PyramydAir does a great job of packing these BB's so they will arrive intact.

Things I like:... Well, they shoot like a BB. what else can I say.?

How about making your product do as it says it is supposed to do.

These are supposed to shatter 'splat', but they don't. I have shot them into wood, metal. and hard plastic and not one broke apart like they advertised. I would not shoot these in my basement or anywhere else in the house( as we had planned). Of course I and my grandkids ALWAYS wear our eye protection, buy I thought that these so called 'Dust devils were supposed to be a little bit safer and they are NOT.

Fast, consistent, worked in a stock C11 and an old Benjamin 720 with double o-ring piston. The 720 got well above 700fps on my chrono

The box is supposed to be doing double-duty, it's the display carton that holds the BB's until you open it up. It also can have the top refolded so it's a dispenser. But, that part doesn't work very well. One of the flaps has a v-notch that you use for a funnel. I wound up spilling BB's trying to use that. Then I switched to the opposite side flap, without a notch. That seemed to work much better. But it's still very awkward. What I would want to see different, is to have the BB's in a plastic pouch, inside the box. Then the pouch could have a pour spout that you can close by folding over. Or maybe replace the box with a better package?

If you have an empty BB speedloader, refill that from the Dust Devil box over a cookie sheet so you can catch & reuse the Dust Devils as you struggle with the box they come in. Or maybe just dump the Dust Devils into a gallon freezer storage bag. Toss in a empty speedloader, then reload while inside the bag

Shatters on impact with steel traps, no ricochets, work very well! I've had a few steel BBs come back and hit me shooting at a metal trap (always wear glasses!), the most I've experienced with these is being sprayed with a little powder (and, only once).

Nothing, they work great.

These are at least (if not more) as accurate in my Beretta M92A1 as steel BBs. I tried the Excite Smart Shot, but the M92A1 just isn't able to handle the weight (I assume) and they shoot extremely low. I've had absolutely no issues feeding, and they work perfectly fine in full auto mode. For that gun, these are surely my preferred choice.

If they leave the barrel, they work as intended.

Horrible jams in my Umarex Commander. Took several minutes tapping with a cleaning rod to free the stuck bb's.

Work well in my Glock 19. In my opinion these are somewhat safer than steel BBs since they shatter to dust when hitting a solid steel object such as a pellet trap. They will bounce off other materials such as wood.

Their surface is rough compared to steel BBs so they may (?) wear a gun's barrel more so than conventional BBs .

Do not use them in a Daisy 415. The first Dust Devil jammed and could not be extracted. That was the demise of my 415. I reported this to PA but the Dust Devils are still on the list of recommended ammo for the 415. PA, please verify and adjust.

Absolutely Perfect for indoor plinking !!! Where were these when I was a kid? Great for garage and I've even been using them out of a couple of pistols in my living room. Seriously, who really cares if they're lighter at short distances for plnking? Using a metal trap they disintegrate. I would NOT use these for pests.

I didn't shoot these out of a BB rifle yet, just pistols. The surface of these BBs don't seem as smooth as regular BBs but even without rifling that doesn't seem to matter at short distances (20 ft so far). It maybe just me, I haven't measured them and maybe due to their weight, but they *seem* just a tad small. **However** they shoot just fine out of a Daisy Powerline 415 and Crosman MK45... and as I said above "Absolutely Perfect for indoor plinking" (with a metal trap).

Not so frangible... one of the first rounds I shot at 10 yards ricocheted into my patio and made several impacts before coming to rest intact. Sticking with the Cooperheads I grew up with.

Make them actually frangible at Red Ryder velocities.

Safe for indoor target shooting

Great for indoor ranges! We needed to have something the kids could use that would not bounce back - these are ideal!

None

They were easy to use light weight and accurate. I found them perfect for my shooting of the Legends Cowboy rifle.

Nothing.

No.

Works as described, turns to dust on impact.

These shoot fine through our full auto DPMS rifles, no bounce back, and they seem well shaped.

The package is supposed to be "easy pour" but I couldn't figure it out... ;)

I have pigeons that make a mess around my house. I can keep them in check now everyday. I can see that the extra speed helps to either hit my target or get very close and produce the results of the birds flying away and staying away at least for the rest of the day.

They do fly at a faster speed. You can tell.

Shatters on impact as advertised.Abilty to shoot steel .

Make the whole bb the same diameter,lose the driving band. The band causes jams and feed failure. Full diameter should help with accuracy as is they are marginal.

Be aware that these work in very few BB guns .I had hoped these would work in my M&P pistols as I have many and use them for begginer training.These bbs will not work in any magazine with only one bb stop, bbs roll out even when not under spring tension, the band causes this. Will work in some pistols with integral magazine , my old Daisy XT pistols feed and shoot well with DD BB. My new Colt Defender with integral magazine will not feed these. I ordered 6000 of these and the only I have not returned is that they work in my in my Tanfoglio Witness Match (it has a two stop magazine) and my pet project adult sized Red Ryder.

Shot well out a RP 45 crosman semi-auto.

Not all the BBs shatters as advertised, from 10 yards away against a steel target.

Dust Devil are lighter than regular BBs, which I believe makes them not as accurate. I am going to compare them regular BBs to see if this is true.

They shot OK in my Umarex steel storm

Make them to frag (SHATTER) on impact like they advertise! Easy Pour Container didn't work for me, I got them all over the floor.

I tried them at various hard objects to make them brake up, and they did not always shatter on impact. I then directly shot at a steel plate, wrong thing to do and some came flying back at me. I didn't check the speed, but they hit very hard just as good as a regular BB.

These are just what I wanted, now I can plink and not worry about the chickens eating them!

Great products, great prices as well as a vast choice of BB'S & pellets for any occasion.

Good Idea if they would work in my bb guns. They did not work worth a flip in my newest M&P pistol. Only loads and shoots 1 in every 3-5 trigger pulls. I WILL try my other bb guns before giving up.

Test them in ALL types of bb guns and list those tested so customers would KNOW that they work in Which guns and Which guns Would NOT work.

They are frangible & biodegradable. BB recommended them in his PA blog.

I live in Hawaii. Product (6,000 BBs!) was ordered on 9/20 and transferred from UPS to USPS in San Francisco on 9/29. No further info is available so I do not know when to expect the order. I assume it was loaded on a boat or, perhaps, being ferried by mermaids who are in no particular hurry? Anyway, I'd love to know when it will arrive? Thank you!

If you live in Hawaii, expect your order to take quite a long time for some reason. Value was set at Good because it cost $20 to ship here.
