I've seen Crossman BBs used successfully in Systema PTWs, but I've also seen them shredded in CA's.  Depends on the gun really.

I used them for my G&G, they were working fine, but I needed a heavier BB, so I just use .23's now. But with my uses with them, no flaws. Nice BB's for the money.

Just buy like 2 bags at once from like evike and you will save the money and get higher quality BBs... You will need to buy more BBs eventually anyways.

Wal-Mart BBs belong in Wal-Mart toy guns.

Crossman has less visible seams and better finish than my KSC .3's. No one down here in Yuma has a problem with them. They are the most common brand I see. They are as good as Matrix brand bb's and half the price of G&G or similar brands. If they work well for you, good. If not, sucks for you. I still use other brands for heavier weight though.

the real problem is the air pockets within the BB's, split one in half and you'll see... that is directed towards everyone discussing crosman munitions in this thread

I'm not sure if there are different crossman and ksc bb's depending on what part of arizona you live in...

But my KSC's never have noticeable seams, and the crossmans we use for grenade shells often have raised, sharp seams.

I call BS. The Crossman .12's, which, granted, I use in my M203 shells, do indeed have visible seams however, the Crossman .20's that we are discussing have no visible seam, I used a hand lens on mine, and the only deformity was the less than smooth finish on some of the BB's, even so, it was not as bad as I have seen.

it has been proven in history that for a group to survive its government must be over thrown from time to time. my fear is that this will come to our lands way to soon.
