Cost compared to other premium pellets, only Daisy is cheaper.

Size-Copperheads are the smallest diameter of 4 BB's I measured with a micrometer. They were also the least accurate in a Colt Python BB revolver (made by Umarex, I believe). I measured 10 of each BB, recording largest. smallest, most common size (not average) Copperhead: 0.1715" largest, 0.170" smallest, 0.171" most common Hornady Black Diamond, 0.173" most common, no measurable difference in 10 BBs. These were the most accurate. Daisy Precision Max, 0.175" largest, 0.1735" smallest, 0.174 most common. Umarex Steel BB's, 0.173" no measurable difference

The Copperheads are too small to stay in the magazine of my Colt Python. They fall out if you hold the magazine anywhere near horizontal. It's difficult to get the magazine into the revolver without some dropping out. They are essentially unusable in the Colt, as well as being incredibly inaccurate, missing a 12"x12" target at 5 yds. They just zoom off like a badly sliced gold ball.

The spout of the bottle lets me load up my Daisy model 25 and Red Ryder quickly. The shape of the bottle is much more sensible than that of Daisy's. Very ergonomic and simple. Made in USA... don't see that very often now, I like that about them.

Better copper plating on the bb's, please. If they could hit my cans from 10meters in that shape, imagine how much more accurate it could be! I remember copperhead bb's being a bit more round... These would NOT be my primary nor secondary choice of airgun shot, those spots are for daisy and umarex bb's.

A lot of the BB's left much to be desired. Pitting from rust and flakes of copper riddle the air shot. Very dirty. Shoots alright for plinking, but I would rather have the Zinc plated Daisy bb's before i grab another one of these... plus, the zinc plated bb's are 5.50 for 6000 at my Walmart. The bottle was also very murky with the rust that covers the inside of the container. If your goal is to plink without regard of accuracy, go for it, hits cans at 10 meters plenty good.

Good value. Shoot straight

nothing

Easy load bottle makes loading easy for kids

Really, not too much... see below. The ONLY reason I have given three stars is because they do, pretty much, serve the good purpose of being used in my BULK magazine fed rifles, like the 'Red Ryder' and others where you can put 50 to 600 into the reservoir. The rifles that have a spring loaded magazine for the BBs you shake, rattle & roll from the reservoir into the magazine area seem to do okay, with no jamming. The jamming is reserved for my pistols, as mentioned below. So, for the above mentioned rifles AND pistols that you place a BB into the tip or rear of a 'cartridge' or that use a cylindrical magazine, all is good... except for the copper flaking off and ruining things over time. Again, see below.

Not so much a CHANGE, but rather the decision to purchase. Soon as I use the ones I still have, no more for me.

I like very little about ANY copper-coated BB. Firstly, THIS particular brand jams ELEVEN of my pistols that use a magazine that pushes the BBs by way of a spring. THIS DOES NOT HAPPEN WITH ZINC (non-coated) types; ONLY any of the copper-coated. Looking under magnification, you see a LOT of pitting. Secondly, using a caliper, size consistency is too much for me to accept. I will NEVER use these in my Daisy Avanti Champion 499, especially if I am shooting in a contest. The measurements showed me that some of the BBs are too large for the rifle's barrel; just by a HAIR.
You know the guns that use a cylindrical magazine, where you push the BB into the holes? Well, you will find quite often the BBs falling out, the ones that are just THAT MUCH,,, teeny-tiny... too small.
Finally, the coating flakes off and builds-up in the gun mechanism. Later it can be a TRUE bother to clean. AND this coating can rust, leading to other metal parts in contact with the 'flaking' to rust.

Cheaper than other commonly available brands. Readily available.

Change process so no more holes/pits in plating. Make size slightly larger diameter and more uniform. Do away with the useless dispenser cap- all it needs is a sturdy screw-on cap.

I mic'd 50 Crossman Copperhead BBs.

30 were between 0.171" and 0.1715"
12 were between 0.170" and 0.1705"
5 were between 0.169" and 0.1695"
1 was 0.168"
2 were 0.167"

Some BBs measured >/= 0.001" different depending on where it was measured. Variation of 0.0005" or more was the norm.

Average weight of 50 BBs was 5.09268 gr

Wildly inaccurate compared to Marksman, and Pyramyd offers Marksman BBs with a speed loader that actually works!

Accuracy.

The funnel lid doesn't work well in any gun I've tried it with.

don't like them all pitted rusty

would change the way they are shipped I orders these twice and the tops came off during shipping and the bb were all over the place

Crosman copperhead I've always liked and used over other brands.

Product control. These BBC's have holes in just about everyone of them. Not dimples actual holes.

Check the batch for defects. This is actually abnormal and I've pushed more of these bb's than I can imagine out of just about anything that will propel a bb . this is a first for me to encounter. Sorry crosman.

Nothing

Totally awful bb. Distorted leaves residual dust in clip and causes jams if you dont clean after every use

Cheap price.

Maybe have a bigger spout so you can cut off a little more to let more come out while still letting the cover snap closed.

There are a lot of them that have spots sort of like mini craters, where the coating had like an air bubble or something. Other BB's that cost a little more are much more uniform, but these are nice and cheap so you can still get a good amount while only spending a few dollars.

Price, removable rail, being able to see the sights with the rail on, higher FPS than most other pistols, and shots per fill.

I would like to see rifling, adjustable sights, and maybe some more metal on the outside.

Good little gun, nice for somebody who knows how to shoot but might want something a little more fun, but not for too young because of how much plastic there is it could break easily if dropped.

Lots of ammo. Container is also a dispenser.

Nothing i can think of.

Haven't put a mike or scale on 'em, but they seem to be reasonably consistent as to size and weight. Never had a jam with them.

I've used these for years and they've always worked well.

Good Cheap Ammo, easy to dispense

Nothing
