They outlawed the sale and use of them here.
I had one of these as a teenager up North:

Used to use glass marbles or iron ore pellets as ammo.
Anywhere you have iron ore trains, which were big back in the steel industry days, you have these pellets all over the tracks.

I'm terrified this is coming to a place I live.
Where NJ?
I hated marbles. Too much buffeting and any spin turned the flight path.
Northern Superior... lots of hunting and iron ore trains from the ranges in Minnesota.
I was that good as a 14 year old at the peak of my career. There's nothing inherently inaccurate about them.
Right arm: bone2bone thumb-cheek weld with forearm parallel to the deck.
Left arm: slingshot held sideways, top post used as a shotgun bead.
Best ammo: not a sphere. The less aerodynamically shaped an object, the better it will fly because sexy objects can create forces perpendicular to their flight path (aka lift) and thus turn. They also buffet worse. An object with sharp edges such as a 3/8x1 inch bolt or a 7.62x39 empty will fly pretty straight no matter how it tumbles and will not develop any knuckle-ball buffeting. If it produces only drag in every orientation, that's good. Smooth is bad for accuracy. So look for a high density object that isn't smooth that fits the pocket nicely.
