I got my two tubes (50 each tube) in the other day. Pretty nice. They're a squishy rubber, not real hard, but they specifically tell you NOT to fire at people/animals/etc.
They supply a small bottle of what looks like oil (they call it T-lube) so I'm not sure if it's just like standard marker oil or what. But you put 3-5 drops in the tube with the balls, shake it up and they're coated. Not slimy or anything but real slick.
They're a small bore, smaller then the blue freak insert (.685 I think?) they just rolled right through for me.
I first tried them in the warp/revvy combo, and one got jammed PAST the exit hole in the warp. Like at the top of the feed wheel. I had to take apart the whole warp to get it out.
I hand fed them into my marker and they worked great. Seems like they'll come in handy for target/practice shooting. Or after working on the marker/etc..
I had used some old washclothes folded up to shoot at, they stopped the balls without a problem, however i had a few bounces that sent them all over the room, definately wear a mask even when working with these. I take no responsibility for someone shooting their eye out.
I'd suggest setting up some sort of netting/catch for them when you shoot. Perhaps a bucket or box with something in the back to pad the shots so they don't bounce? I've got some old camo netting I'll use and setup something so I can shoot at without worrying about bounces/etc.
They seem like a good idea, I'll have to keep playing with them in the warp to see if it was just a freak thing that they got jammed or what. I'll get some pics of them when I get home too and put em up.
Has anyone else used these? I bought em from a link that was posted a few weeks ago, just wondering if anyone else had any problems with them in a warp?
Edit: Now with picture goodness!
Here is how they come packaged. Oil and balls in one nice neat tube.

Squishing between my fingers:
Instructions for lube:
Careful where you shoot!
This is what happens in the warp:
All-in all I'd say yeah, they're great for snap shooting and velocity adjusting etc. For rapid firing and using the warp, I wouldn't reccomend them at all. They just squish too much. And I can see how sniper1rfa could have chopped one.
They worked fine in my 12v revvy, fed into the cocker and RTPro without a problem, of course I wasn't firing as fast as I could. I'll have to test some more with that and see how they do.
