Is there such a thing as environmentally friendly sling shot ammo? I just don't want to leave all the metal and glass around. Thank you.

I have an old bag of dry beans. I keep it and the slingshot on the front porch, where the kids use it to shoot at the trees and the nearby stop sign.

Ice Cubes. Edit: I use taconite pellets. The trains around here drop them like candy at an Independence Day parade.

Glass is super-heated sand and is 100% natural. Glass is formed in nature as well. There isn't any negative impact from shooting marbles other than aesthetics. When I was small, I counted myself fortunate to find a marble laying about.

No problem. I have a slidefire SSAR22 I burn a lot of ammo lol. I'm sure these things will last the life of the rifle.

There is an amount of lead dust / splatter. I've put a piece of cardboard on the face / opening to reduce the splatter, along with "sealing" the joints with duct tape. But even with these actions performed, there is nothing that can be done concerning lead dust - even HV pellets or standard rimfire ammo creates some form of "lead dust" as it's leaving the muzzle. Emptying out the unit you will also encounter some form of dust, unless of course soaking it with water to prevent as much dust going air borne. Also wear gloves and dispose of lead appropriately to avoid / reduce contamination.

how hard is it for the company to come up with an upgraded version of ROK where the reservoir is made of glass (heavy-duty pyrex or something like that), even if it costs a little more, it would be a well-worth investment! Plastic is the ONLY thing that stops me from buying it, and, I am sure, I am not alone there

I do not have one of these but I have others. Your focus seems to be whether you can keep ammo as long term storage in these cans to keep out moisture and air. Well, no you can not since they are plastic and air with moisture will get thru the plastic. But your problem is easily solved using Mylar food storage bags and putting in one oxygen absorber that comes with the Mylar. Just insert the ammo, squeeze out most of the air with the absorber inside the bag, and seal the bag with an iron. It should keep for decades; and it would fit inside the can so you could stack them. This is what I am doing now. I do not have one of these but I have others. Your focus seems to be whether you can keep ammo as long term storage in these cans to keep out moisture and air.

I have not seen the UTG sling, but these are good......all metal. Easily detchable, button works clean, a little fine oil makes it work better. Happy with the product.

If you're on the cheap you can get a bag of quickrete sand from your local home depot for a few bucks. Knock together a frame with some coarse screen on it and screen it into a bucket. That gets the largest bits out that would clog the gun up. I've run it without screening it though and I just have to clear the nozzle every once in a while. One thing I noticed was that the play sand while the little grains themselves are finer, it ends up having larger pebbles in it than the quickrete sand did. So take that into consideration as the play sand is usually more expensive.

Humm, well I haven't been reloading in a while now but when I did I tumbled around 100 to 150 .223 Remington each time with the tumbler about half full of Lyman Turbo Tumbler corncob green #7631394 Media. And I let it run 2 to 5 hrs. Brass came out real nice. So whatever that weights it works fine.

No, that gun is a CO2 and I'm pretty sure these plastic shells will not be anywhere near as durable and result in breaking quite quickly, so just buy the shells intended for that gun.

The hog wild green refill balls are for any of the power poppers.. which are also sold on Amazon.. The power poppers are a nice alternative to nerf guns because they don't hurt as bad as the nerf darts do.. As for the slingshot refills I honestly don't know ..sorry

I would stay away from steel, brass, copper, tipped pellets, my son shot clear though a full 55 gallon drum of kerosene that was a good thick drum with a 1200 fps .177 pellet rifle using a penetrator pellet. I was upset and had to scramble to find other containers to put it in since it was flowing out both sides.

Yes these are lead free alloy pellets. The polymer tip mushrooms on impact causing the pellet to expand upon entering the target. This pellet are good for hunting though shooting alloy pellets often can cause so damage to break barrel air guns because they don't provide enough resistance cause the spring piston to hit the reciever very hard. Sorry for such a long answer hope it was helpful.

No, it's not man. There is a model for pellets though. These are nice guns. If you buy / or have bought one, do the following:I agree with Robert ..........get yo'self a bunch of extra "bullets" (that hold the BBs), and for sure for sure, some speed loaders!! Dump out 6 emptys & in one motion load 6 full ones.....Bam!Happy air-shootin' ---be safe.

Honest answer is I don't know. I shoot into an outdoor pellet catcher that is backed by one of those horse stall 4 x 6 ft rubber mats you get at Tractor Supply. These pellets stick in like a dart for a small % of shots. They only penetrate to the metal body. None of the body gets into the mat. I could pull some out and ALMOST reuse them.Best idea is to create a situation where ricochet is reduced or eliminated for EVERY shot. (these are fun, though!)

I bought my ammo cans for other things but years ago when I used to go shooting I bought "bulk" ammo at gun shows and it came loose in ammo cans. PS: These ammo cans are great--really good condition

There is no obvious way to put a sling on this rifle, and I wouldn't risk damaging it to make a sling work. Great Rifle. With 22 grain pellets I explode bathroom tile 2 layers thick.

Thanks for the info. I'm looking forward to trying it out. I hope it cuts down on wasted ammo while dialing in the sites.Rob
