i imagine that probably directly corrilates to smearing.

if it cracks it wont smear, if its malleable it will.

Physics wise im not sure how malleablility effects flight path. Im sure some would argue the acceleration of the bb would warp it if it were malleable.
No, I'm not concerned about it cracking upon impact.... What I'm really concerned is that fact that it leaves material inside the hop up rubber. This causes inconsistant accuracy.
