Be aware that Dust Devils do not always disappear in a nice puff smoke!
They can and do bounce back whole or in pieces.
They are high speed and accurate tho.

I've actually not heard of them Patrick, I see they are for sale on the bay and amazon, not cheap, you rate them tho?

They are accurate and will raise your fps.
But they don't disintegrate.

Which makes them a bit pointless in my view.
Unless you like being showered by bits of bbs.

OK thanks everyone. I may investigate them in the interests of science.

I've tested DDs in a number of different CO2 powered airguns and they have turned to a fine powder upon impact. As with any target, it is important to be mindful of what you're shooting at and ensure all the usual precautions are taken. It's not impossible for the odd one to bounce but generally, they do what it says on the box. Certainly a lot safer than steel in my view.

Do you find them accurate as well tho? that's more important to me rather than rebounds.

[gingernut]

I shot them in a Peacemaker at a variety of surfaces with poor results for disintegration.
Around 10 metres.
Bricks,metal plates -which you would think would explode them.
But they just rebounded in bits which hit me and the shelter behind me.

I haven't tried target shooting but on tins,yogurt pots etc they are accurate and do make holes in the cans.

I have two boxes so I will try the other one!

That's really strange as mine disintegrate without any issues

Not quite as accurate as copper coated lead but accurate enough to hit tin cans placed 8 yards away with the Glock.

For the price I'll stick with the copper ones then, to be honest shooting at cans etc at that distance most are fine, I suppose it's bb's and blow back guns we are talking about and not pellets and pcp.
Thanks for feed back
