"Shooting a round ball, I would think it would not be overly accurrate or have much of a range in the atmospher."

I guess that depends on whether there's any type of "rifling" or not. Them buckskinners of yore held 1000-yard matches with muzzleloaders, eh?

Anyway, let me add: I want one :^)

Round bullets have an accuracy problem. But ball bearings with dimples on them could be more accurate at long distances. Witness the evolution of the golf ball.
