1. I-diameter enkulu ye-shot shot yensimbi, iphezulu i-roughness ebusweni emva kokucoca, kodwa ukucoca ukucoca kuphezulu. Igrit yentsimbi emise ngendlela engaqhelekanga okanye iishoti zentsimbi ezisikiweyo zinococeko oluphezulu kunokudubula okungqukuva, kodwa uburhabaxa bomphezulu bukwaphezulu.
⒉Iprojectile yokucoca ekumgangatho ophezulu ikwanxiba izixhobo ngokukhawuleza. Kubalwa kuphela ngexesha lokusetyenziswa, kodwa xa kuthelekiswa nokusebenza kakuhle kwemveliso, ukunxiba akukhawulezi.
3. Ubunzima buhambelana ngokuthe ngqo nesantya sokucoca, kodwa ngokungafaniyo nobomi. Ngoko ubunzima buphezulu, isantya sokucoca sikhawuleza, kodwa ubomi bufutshane kwaye ukusetyenziswa kukhulu.
4. Ubulukhuni obuphakathi kunye nokuqina okugqwesileyo, ukwenzela ukuba i-steel shot inokufikelela kuyo yonke indawo kwindawo yokucoca, ukunciphisa ixesha lokucubungula. Iziphene zangaphakathi zeprojekti, ezifana ne-pores kunye nokuqhekeka, imingxuma ye-shrinkage, njl., inokuchaphazela ubomi bayo kunye nokwandisa ukusetyenziswa. Ukuba ukuxinana kukhulu kuno-7.4g/cc, iziphene zangaphakathi zithande ukuba zincinci. Izitofu zentsimbi ezikhethwe ngumatshini wokudubula webhanti we-mesh ziquka izitofu zentsimbi ezisikiweyo, i-alloy shots, i-cast cast steel shots, i-iron shots, njl.
