The dimples would increase drag from the magnus effect, causing them to hit you in the back of the head.
Think of how much the stitches on a baseball affect it's direction.
There's nothing wrong with the design or shape of the ammo. The manufacturing could always improve, but it's pretty damn good as is.
And before anyone says it, rifled or shuttlecock rounds wouldn't be effective past 60ft or so. Rifle rounds are designed to perform at high velocity, without the magnus effect you just can't get any decent range out of a very low velocity projectile.
And I'm not saying the hop rubber is what's deforming the BBs, I'm saying its the PRESSURE of the hop rubber that causes it to be deformed by the BARREL.
You might think the barrel is polished, but look right below your hop patch, there's always a patch of BB residue.
