I did a side by side last night with Green devils and Gryphons.

had 16 mags loaded, 8 of each brand 0.30g. Shot at a gong with the PTW at 200ft measured distance. Went one mag Devil then reloaded to a gryphon mag. I had A LOT OF FLIERS with the gryphons. Every 5th to 8th BB went wildly in some upward direction, Up and left or up and right, devils flew straight to target. After shooting 4 mags of each. I did some measurements. Weighed a batch of 20x 0.30g BB's of each brand that was loaded in the mags to get a total weight of 20 BBs as i'm not going to individual weigh one at a time. Total weight is correct at 6grams. Returned to shooting the remaining 8 mags I had the same results as the first 8. Lots of fliers with the gryphons, the number went down to one in every dozen to twenty BBs.

Something is not quite "¿right¿" with the gryphons. Friend do the same test with a WE katana. BBs feed fine but lots of fliers.

PTW test is reasonable. the metal loading nozzle and the tight tolerances of the hopup chamber means that if the BB is too brittle, or soft it's going to get chopped up, or deformed during the loading/feeding. This would hold true for any gun running metal nozzles IE WE Katana, upgraded gas guns, or some custom CNC nozzle AEG builds.
