Questions & Answers
I'm not sure what the guy who said 'if you live near the coast with salt in the air' was thinking. I'd suggest looking for a steel that's less prone to rust. "ONE OF THE REASONS FOR THE INVENTION OF STAINLESS STEEL IS THAT IT IS RUST RESISTANT." It'll work fine, and no, it's not a good idea. It's not going to rust. You may tarnish it a little, but the color change of the ball bearings will not harm anything.

It took an eternity for the package to arrive (no stars were taken away). br>It arrived in a cardboard box, but the plastic container inside was broken, and the BB's were loose (no stars were removed). br>This review was written only four days after the package arrived. DO NOT PURCHASE! br> These have started to rust! br>In addition, the gleaming finish/color in the photo isn't what you'll get here. This is a cold-weather recipe. colored- When they arrive, they are steel (more of a light gunmetal grey) and do not resemble the pretty picture (SS-1). looking). br>br>THE STARS HAVE BEEN REMOVED FOR: br>br>THE STARS HAVE BEEN REMOVED FOR br>When I first opened the package, it smelled like a machine shop. br>As soon as I grabbed a handful of ammo, my hands shook. Fingers became greasy and brown as a result of this. br>Follow up with a wash sanitize both your hands and your ammunition: br>1) My hands still smelled like oil,br>2) The ammo did as well,br>3) The ammo has rusted- Even though it was dried, it developed a brown/yellow patina. This is actually rust. br>4) And now, when you use it- The ammo is still slipping through my fingers. (Due to the rusted finish) fingers are brown. br>Unfortunately, even when properly stored, these will rust over time. br>br>Clearly, these were not made completely smooth, but with some pitting. To prevent rusting, a thin layer of oil was left on the surface. However - The ammo for slingshots isn't supposed to be oily! br>I shouldn't have had to deal with such problems in the first place. All that should be expected when buying ammo is nice, clean ammo. Yes, they're made of carbon, not stainless steel. But, in my opinion, selling these as ammo was a bad idea. *** These should only be used for machinery, equipment, ball bearings, and other similar items. **
(The seller's name even contains the word 'bearings'. They're simply attempting to resell a product that was designed for a different purpose. )br>br>When I write reviews, I always try to be objective. I also anticipate receiving what I have paid for. br>Good steel (carbon or stainless) is required for proper use. THIS AMMO IS NOT TO BE SLIPPERY OR OILY. br>So, yes, CLEAN Steel Balls were what I was expecting - Brown and oily isn't what you're looking for. Sadly, the BB's are now rusting. People, this was a complete waste of money! br>Check out the photos for pitting, rusting, and rust on a white piece of paper! br>I'll be requesting a refund immediately.
You're going to get yourself in a lot of trouble. Use a 1 if possible. 75-foot flat slingshot band or, better yet, cut your own rubber resistance band from the exercise store. br>br>The lethal bean has no muzzle flash and makes no noise. br>You have some nice windows. It would be a shame if you tried to globalize; it would be cool if you could etch a communist fist into the ball so that when EMTs stack bodies, they can just drop mark off at the landfill and save the taxpayer some money. br>br>First and foremost, the United States of America!.
Steel balls were able to get out easily because the plastic container in which these items were shipped was split on two sides, with huge splits. It is estimated that there are 1,000 of them. I weighed 25 pounds, multiplied it by 40, and it didn't add up to the weight of 1,000 pounds. It was close, but there's no way of knowing how many are missing unless I count them all, which I won't do. It would have been better to ship and store them in something other than a brittle, hard plastic container. I'll have to find another location to keep them now.
5%) is the same as Walmart's Daisy's 3/8 (9. 5%). Steel ammunition (diameter: 5mm). At Walmart, you can get 70 for $5, or on Amazon, you can get 1,000 for $20. Make a calculation. For all of the negative reviews about the "machine shop" odor, I'd like to address it. It's the anti-rust and anti-tarnish oil that keeps these from rusting or tarnishing while they're stored!.
Because they're made of metal, they're quite durable. Although they shoot as smoothly as possible, they are heavier than clay or plastic. If you were hunting or something, these would do a lot of damage. In comparison to my other guns, they took some getting used to, but now I'm always on target and have no trouble penetrating targets. This is not a toy! I used one to blow a hole in a coconut at a distance of about 6 yards.
The ammunition is excellent. It's just under 3/8 in diameter, in my opinion. It's not an issue. The Shot is gleaming and has no odor to it. It's Fresh Steel Bearings, so there's no rust or tarnish. Although the hard plastic box had a small crack, the Baggies inside remained intact. br>I had no trouble transferring the Ammo to my own personal containers, as I had read in reviews that the packaging might be lacking. Yes, I'd purchase it again. Great product that was exactly as described and arrived promptly. br>lolbr>It'll take a while for me to Burn Through 1000 Shots:.
Steel balls are 3/8 inch in diameter. I'm at a loss for words right now. They perform as well as any other 3/8 inch steel ball. People complain about the machine's smell, but it's good because it's the shipping oil. They're also not supposed to smell pleasant. br>br> It's a steel ball, not a lavender-scented ball, designed to shoot squirrels. I would strongly advise anyone to purchase these, as 1000 for $20 is a fantastic deal. The only issue is that due to the package's weight of 7 pounds, the plastic container it comes in frequently breaks. That doesn't surprise me because even the new containers I put them in are prone to breaking due to their weight. When you try to ship 1000 steel balls that are designed to move, this is what happens. br>br>Anyone who complains about rust is a moron. Even if it is rusted, it is still a steel ball that will deliver the same amount of energy. They fly well and have good accuracy. Energy delivery is good, but it is largely dependent on your slingshot; as long as it isn't a cheap one, it should be able to deliver hundreds of joules.
The ammo itself is fine with me. For those who object to the oil, I can only say that it's better to be oily than rusty. Apply brake cleaner to it and place it on a mesh tray or fabric. The container, on the other hand, is made of extremely fragile plastic. The shipping box was littered with ammo after it cracked. They should use a strong plastic bottle, such as the one I used to store the ammunition in. A honey bottle that has seen better days.
