After I got home and opened the tin I almost sh#*?t my pants. These have got to be the worst Quality controlled pellets i have ever seen. Do I send them to Crosman with a letter or throw them away.I wouldn't shoot these out of nothing I own would you?? Here Take a look for yourself.Every pellet in the tin (250)has screwed up shirts and half have enough left over flashing where they were swedged to give them wings. BBgun Bob Man! Somebody was sleeping on that run!   Posted: Sun Mar 09, 2008 6:26 am DAMAGE Member Joined: 25 Oct 2007 Posts: 33 Are they all the same quality as the ones Bob got ??? surly they cant all be that rough they look worse than Gamo pellets which is a shame as I was hoping for them to be a replacement for Gamo's Rocket pellet. Bob did you even dare to try some of them ? looks like half of them would be lucky to even fit. No Damage I did not try not even one   Posted: Sun Mar 09, 2008 8:20 am BBGun Bob Veteran Member Joined: 29 Oct 2007 Posts: 474 Location: Michigan I don't even want one of them in any of my barrels.If they look that bad I won't take the chance in screwing up a good barrel.

BBGun Bob Well Bob, they at least look like they would all be consistent. No variations.   Posted: Sun Mar 09, 2008 11:10 pm 2RCHA Veteran Member Joined: 21 Feb 2007 Posts: 195 Location: The Big Smoke, Ontario Damage, Keep the "Rocket's", they're much better than the "Fireball's", and if you really like to try something good in that line of pellet, then I suggest you try the Daisy Premium "Power Pellet", a little shorter than the other two, but at only 7gr., you sure get a nice increase in velocity. By the way, Do they sell Gamo Rocket's in .22 on your side of the world?, they sure don't sell them here, but I've solved that problem by taking a Daisy Zinc coated bb, and then superglued it to the cavity on a H&N "CrowMagnum",,Man, You want to talk about penetration!!!,and extreme accuracy, Try it out on your next hunt, You wont be disspointed, That's for Sure, I've brought down a massive "Jack" a couple month's ago with one of these pellet's, and my Tac1,clean thrugh the critter's head. Cheer's, Andy. P.s.,,,,Here's a good link describing them http://airgunbbs-usa.com/forums/index.php?topic=41.0 , . _________________ QB78-D w/Fitco 4-16x44CE 2x,XS B4-2a .177/.22 w/Fitco 3-9x40 XS B2-2a .22 w/Simmons 3-9x40 XS B9-1 w/AimPoint CompM2 TAC1 Extreme w/Tasco 3-9x40/Var,.

It's a shame about the fire ball being so poorly made though cause they seem like a good design, Heres hoping they see the error in their product and correct it. Warning !!!
