@Real_PhillBert, ahh that makes sense. I saw something on YouTube a while back with some grey cases. 

There's probably more than one group making similar things.

 

Although many gray cases you see are steel cased ammo, like this:

Lol, um... only if you use slugs? 

That's what cycles the action successfully the most.

 

Don't buy an ATA .410 Omni.

I’m going to guess this is where I saw it, as it has been so long I don’t recall. 

 

I remember whoever was speaking was showing off broken cartridges from shipping. 

 

Have you ever tried the plastic ammo? Is it good?

What’s wrong with it? 

I only have a pump 12 gauge and airsoft guns. I shoot skeet as slugs just hurt and aren’t fun to shoot for my shoulder, nor my wallet.

Huh, that's interesting. I've never used any of it before, so I can't tell you if it was any good or not.

Are they dangerous in your opinion? Or like shattering as it ejects the cartridges?

Ahh, I wasn’t sure if you used it or not. I’ve seen very few videos on it a while ago and was curious if it was as bad as what I’ve seen said about it.

they deform badly, don't take heat soaking very well, and can't take the stresses of high cyclic rate actions.

 

work OK in belt feds where the round stays outside the chamber, but give it a little heat and yeah, they seperate leaving an inert firearm.

 

if you want cheap and environmentally friendly, steel cased ammo rusts away fairly rapidly.

I don’t have any brass case firing weapons and recycle my shot shells appropriately. 

 

I want an AK and almost all ammo for it is steel cased which is cool. Cheap and non toxic.

I thought all Soviet ammo was steel cased. Guess not.

Misfeeds.

Fails to eject.

Jams.

Comes apart when shooting.

Charging handle comes lose, might fly in someone's face one day.

Dang that’s dangerous. Have you tried it in a breach loading shotgun like a double barrel? 

If so I hope it wasn’t as dangerous.

It's actually not as dangerous as it sounds.

I got a 4rd pump, 2rd bolt action, and a KSG-12.

It’s just bad in your AR conversion?

It's not a conversion, it's an actual rifle you can buy. The ATA .410 Omni.

Nope.

 

Shitty shotgun.

[Oshino Shinobu]

UK here. Guns are pretty difficult to get here, so air rifles it is. 

 

Still fairly fun for target shooting.
