they could fit more than twice as many shrapnel, if they used a more tetrahedron form, instead of spheres. but idk if it matters that they withstand less force. also, spheres are probably harder to produce, but maybe its faulty bearing balls, that arise anyway as a waste product.
And then their trajectory would not be straight and they would go all over the place, like the ground.
they do that anyway, there's a lot of ground. balls have lowest drag per mass for randomly oriented tumbling object
