Hi...
I got some of them for my boy
They don't seal in the barrel so yer get
a dry fire efect....they are ok in a cheap
low power gun...Don't put them in a good
1000fps gun....
for a pumper or Co2 they are fine...

We shot them as a kid, as I remember, they were a lot of fun but the gun we used was pretty much trashed for accuracy after a while. Can't remember the gun manufacturer but by todays standards, it wasn't too powerful. I do remember that if they got into any hardwood they were a bear to get out and watch out for the ricochet, they tend to glance off things without slowing down. Particularly bottles, the old coke bottles are the worst.

I remember shooting the airgun darts as a kid.  I had a cheap Crosman pistol, it looked like an army 45  automatic, and it shot those dart OK at very close range.   I don't think I'd bother with them anymore though.....

Hey Marty,



I have fired those darts from my old Marksman air pistol, and had a lot of fun with them !



I have also used then to discourage some pests, hoping to encourage them to move on ! It didn't work very often :0



These darts are not recomended for air guns with rifling, as they are made of hard steel and will damage the rifling !



The 1377 is rifled, so I wouldn't use them too often ! But you can still find the Marksman pistol at reasonable prices, with a target and darts !!!!
