Yeah, that vid is as old as the hills and Kapowee doesn't and won't stock these. Nobody else sells them although I am told Japan and China has them. Chinese ones would be good, how scale would that be? Bullets with actual lead in them........

To the original poster, you will see there is not a simple binary response to the question, yes or no. There are some posters who have not used them that will tell you don't do it no matter what and there are some posters that have used them and say it is alright. I guess it all boils down to risk. There is a possibility they could break in the gun and you would have to take it apart for a good cleaning. Mine haven't but it is a real possibility. To me, it is just like any of the other myriad of breakdowns that occur when I drive my tanks. Clean out a gun, fix a gearbox, glue something back on.....it's all the same.

If your game, give it a try but don't expect much from the stock HL gun.
