Someone has designed the following. Notice the strange pellets with wings.

If you think pellet skirt deformation is bad now, those things better be shipped individually wrapped in foam.

hmmm
with no skirt they arn't gona spread to fit the bore...better hope the round head seels properly in your barrel

not saying it wouldnt work...im no expert...
but it certainly is very different then designs in use now.

and i share the concern over the tails getting deformed.

I'm guessing deformation in the mag would be a problem . Not to mention price and availability .

Looks like vapour wear to me .

Those pellets will be nice to shoot around 90 degree corners. LOL

i think they would work better out of a smooth bore . i would never shoot them out of my gun . i think the blades on the pellet and when twisting in flight would have bad accuracy .
