Attack ring is circle form. The metal frame resembles the ABS caul, each covering half of the circle. As a result, the weight of this attack ring rests mostly along a line, making this attack ring very unbalanced. It wobbles easily. However, this is not a disadvantage. The poor balance of this attack ring is actually an advantage. It can be used to [[smash]] the opponent off-balance when it hits the opponent. Also, due to the weight of this attack ring, it can mantain its spin rate and set itself upright after hitting the opponent. However, the plastic layer obstructs the metal layer; the almost circle form parts only allows slight smash attack. An attack ring like Knight Crusher ([[Areo Knight MS]]) can do much more damage.

Turtle Crusher is a heavy AR with its weight focused entirely on two adjacent sides. Its [[Metal Frame]] has two large, blunt projections at each end. On the underside, hidden by the [[ABS Caul]] are two small metal nubs. The entire Metal Frame is bluntly designed for [[Smash Attack]].

Uncustomized, this AR allows the core to wobble for long periods of time. The friction of the rubber causes the other Beyblade to bounce off when it hits; when tilted, it can smash the opponent vertically instead of horizontally, forcing the opponent off balance.
+
Because the weight of Turtle Crusher is focused on adjacent ends, it has very poor balance. However, this poor balance works perfectly with the design of the Metal Frame for [[Wobbling]]. You can build a Wobbling combo with very high Smash Attack capability using Turtle Crusher.
  
−
This AR can also function with sharp form cores. An example is with Metal Sharp core ([[Advance Eterner]]). When tilting, it can mantain a high spin rate, and after forcing the opponent into the ground, it is able to recover. However, if it is allowed to tilt too much without hitting, it will kill itself. This type of attack can be very risky and should not be used blindly for any situation. solid.

Unfortunately, Turtle Crusher lost a lot of its use when [[Aero Knight MS]] was released. Its AR, Knight Crusher, has the same Metal Frame as Turtle Crusher, but the ABS Caul has better Smash Attack.

Rubber Weight Core is unique in that it takes the position of both the WD and RC. It is essentially a weighted cylinder with a layer of rubber on the outside and a semi-flat plastic tip. This is the only Beyblade designed with rubber that is designed to make contact with the opponent, which makes Rubber Weight Core a completely unique part that cannot be substituted.
 +
 
 +
The function is the rubber is to act as a defensive mechanism by absorbing the shock from contact with the opposing Beyblade. In practice, this function works fairly well; most clashes will result in a soft sound and Rubber Weight Core losing little ground. However, there are issues with using Rubber Weight Core as a primary [[Defense]] RC.

The Grip Weight core is a very unique core. It is not meant to be used with a weight disc. The core is seperated in half, screwed together just below the bit protector. Instead of a weight disc, at the center of the core, there is a metal piece that contributes to most of the weight. This is held in place by the two halves of the core.
+
Another great function of Rubber Weight Core is its [[Force Smash]] ability. The lower rim of the rubber shell is on a diagonal angle that gradually forces the opposing Beyblade downward into the stadium floor. This strategy is very common in a specific [[Bearing Core|Wolborg MS]]-killing combo that is listed in this article.
  
−
Surrounding the core is a layer of hard rubber. The rubber is held in place by the two halves at three points. In total, the core weighs about 20g, allowing for a decent spin rate. The tip is a plastic ball tip, functioning very much like Metal Ball Core ([[Sea Dragon]]), but as it is fixed, it can recover from wobbling.
+
For this RC to function properly, it has to be spinning in the same spin direction as the opposing Beyblade. If it is opposite, this RC will perform very poorly. It will not be able to deflect hits properly and can be outspun by even aggressive Attack-type Beyblades.
  
−
The rubber ring is somewhat like the Support Part system. It is hard to dent. When another Beyblade hits it, the shock is absorbed, and the other Beyblade bounces off. It functions very efficiently if the opponent is in the same spin direction. However, in the opposite spin direction, it will get outlasted very easily. Although the rubber layer is of perfect circle form, when the sides touch the ground, the rubber gives it a lot of friction. In fact, a strong hit from a good [[upper attack]] can cause the rubber to hit the ground while it is still spinning strongly, and cause Round Shell to self-KO. When the opponent is of reverse spin direction, it can even be outlasted by opponents with Grip Flat core.
+
For pure Defense-types, [[Jiraiya MS]]'s Bearing Core 2 is a better choice. However, this does not mean this RC has no use.
  
−
However, in the same spin direction, the other Beyblade cannot beat it easily. It can be used as a [[defense|defencer]]. When it is hit by a low upper attack Beyblade, it bounces off, but not as far as another Beyblade may be hit, and the upper attack Beyblade is knocked slightly off balance. When it is hit with a [[smash]] or [[spike attack]], it will bounce off. The attacker will have lost considerable spin. When the opponent is using a grinding attack ring, the grinder will lose much more spin than Round Shell due to the high spin rate of round shell, and the friction of the rubber layer.

=== Use in [[Force Smash]] Customization ===
  
−
It is important to note, however, that because of this recoil, [[Round Shell MS]] can still be KOed easily.
+
This combo in the same spin direction has a high rate of victory against combos based on [[Wolborg MS]]'s Bearing Core. The high [[spin velocity]] combined with the Force Smash and halting capabilities of the rubber means it is able to outspin Bearing Core.
  
−
Another purpose is for one hit knock outs. This may be part of the reason for the name "Metal Sniper". The Metal Ape attack ring ([[Magical Ape MS]]) lines up well with the grip layer, and has very good [[defense]] because of the spin rate. At the start of the battle, you can launch it at the other Beyblade. 40g is quite good for one hit-KO, and the recoil of the rubber can make the other Beyblade bounce away. However, if it fails, you have to be in the same spin direction, unless the opponent is using a grip core with a small WD.

Also, this RC has another advantage. When an opponent's Beyblade tries to hit it underneath its rubber exterior, it will be met by force smash attack. The lower part of the rubber slopes downwards.

Round Shell Metal Snipe
[[Image: |150px]]
Number: MA-19
System: HMS
Type: Defense

Bit Protector (BP): Turtle Emblem

The Bit Protector of this Beyblade is Turtle Emblem. It is the second mould of Bit Protectors.

Attack Ring (AR): Turtle Crusher

  • Weight: 21 grams

Turtle Crusher is a heavy AR with its weight focused entirely on two adjacent sides. Its Metal Frame has two large, blunt projections at each end. On the underside, hidden by the ABS Caul are two small metal nubs. The entire Metal Frame is bluntly designed for Smash Attack.

Because the weight of Turtle Crusher is focused on adjacent ends, it has very poor balance. However, this poor balance works perfectly with the design of the Metal Frame for Wobbling. You can build a Wobbling combo with very high Smash Attack capability using Turtle Crusher.

Unfortunately, Turtle Crusher lost a lot of its use when Aero Knight MS was released. Its AR, Knight Crusher, has the same Metal Frame as Turtle Crusher, but the ABS Caul has better Smash Attack.

Use in Wobbling Customization

Shared Metal Frame

Turtle Crusher's Metal Frame is the same as Aero Knight MS's Knight Crusher.

Running Core (RC): Grip Weight Core

  • Weight: 20 grams

Rubber Weight Core is unique in that it takes the position of both the WD and RC. It is essentially a weighted cylinder with a layer of rubber on the outside and a semi-flat plastic tip. This is the only Beyblade designed with rubber that is designed to make contact with the opponent, which makes Rubber Weight Core a completely unique part that cannot be substituted.

The function is the rubber is to act as a defensive mechanism by absorbing the shock from contact with the opposing Beyblade. In practice, this function works fairly well; most clashes will result in a soft sound and Rubber Weight Core losing little ground. However, there are issues with using Rubber Weight Core as a primary Defense RC.

  • Rubber Weight Core's tip is plastic, and does not have very much friction with the stadium. While this increases Survival ability, this tip is very easy to knock around the stadium.

Another great function of Rubber Weight Core is its Force Smash ability. The lower rim of the rubber shell is on a diagonal angle that gradually forces the opposing Beyblade downward into the stadium floor. This strategy is very common in a specific Wolborg MS-killing combo that is listed in this article.

For this RC to function properly, it has to be spinning in the same spin direction as the opposing Beyblade. If it is opposite, this RC will perform very poorly. It will not be able to deflect hits properly and can be outspun by even aggressive Attack-type Beyblades.

For pure Defense-types, Jiraiya MS's Bearing Core 2 is a better choice. However, this does not mean this RC has no use.

Use in Force Smash Customization

This combo in the same spin direction has a high rate of victory against combos based on Wolborg MS's Bearing Core. The high spin velocity combined with the Force Smash and halting capabilities of the rubber means it is able to outspin Bearing Core.

  • AR: Metal Ape (Magical Ape MS)
  • RC: Rubber Weight Core (Round Shell MS)


Overall

G-Winder of this Starter is made of polyamide plastic. It's harder to straighten and much stiffer plastic than the older, polyethylene G-Winders.

Round Shell MS's AR, Turtle Crusher, is okay for wobbling attack, but we have better choices such as RBA3 Circle Upper (Death Gargoyle MS) or Knight Crusher (Aero Knight MS). Its RC isn't bad. The defense is very good, and the force smash of the rubber part is admirable. However, now we have Samurai Changer MS for defense types, so this RC quickly lost its use.

The gimmick of this Beyblade is amusing. Using the Running Shooter, you can shoot Round Shell MS sideways, and it will race across the ground like a tire. You can race with other Round Shell MS's this way. Running Mode is not legal for battle.

The most useful part of this package is the included grip, Running Shooter.
