I don't have a pill splitter or tool to accurately and cleanly split a BB to see if their was any air pockets.

I used the shadow method to look at the BB to see if their were any dimples or surface imperfections, and I did look for debris, dust,dirt,grass on the BBs.

My theory was that I had some BBs that got mixed into my gryphons that weighed less than what was advertised hence doing the weighing. I could have gotten unlucky and just never manage to get any off weight BBs in my samples when i pulled them out of mags to be weighed.

So I have some theories why the fliers.

1. Air pockets in the BB, as I didnt cut them I just don't know. I honestly doubt it's air pockets as typical at 0.30g+ their simple is too much weight required to make the BB for their to be air pockets
2. BB's are not all the same weight but my weight samples didn't catch any.
3. Force from loading nozzle from PTW squashes/deformed the BB during the chambering process.

I'm leaning towards theory 3 as my buddies WE katana has the same issues. He never weighed his BBs though.
