My 1632 just arrived. I use the 1632 tubing for 4-strand loop bands...I have close too 210 shots fired . still seem to be strong yet..no obvious wear marks.
But I guess it would fail at the pouch tying...
I received mine, anxious to set up a couple small shooters for indoor BB shooting. The .177 BB's zip nicely & cut up targets with authority. The 1632 tubing is the best small tube out there.
As time goes on, more and more shooters tend to experiment with progressively "weaker" tubes or bands and lighter ammo. There are several reasons for this, age, greater accuracy, comfort, ease of use etc.
I remember a while back buying double per side looped 1745's. That was a beginners mistake.
I'm about to try out 1632 as a way of further developing accuracy skills at short distances.
These tubes perform really well! They are a softer option to the 1745/2040 and suit garden shooting perfectly, I can comfortably shoot 8mm steel at high speed and accuracy. I highly reccomend these light tubes to those looking for restricted but fun power levels . Great for target shooting .
as a regular shooter both for targets and hunting i always use dankung tubing as i find they perform the best.
things i look for when target shooting are consistency in tubing, high speed and low draw weight. this allows me to be consistent at competetion as i can focus on technique more resulting in improved accuracy.
1632 is going to be a fantastic choice of tubing for people who want both of theses attributes in tubing, the draw weight is the main factor here as it will be very light indeed and for target shooting up to ten meters this should be absolutely perfect!
although it is suited to a smaller ammunition ( maximum 9.5 steel), it is a good choice for shorter range target shooting for both experienced shooters and novices alike.
i would also recommend this tubing for kids over all others due to the ease of use on a daily basis, the tubing doubled or 'looped' would also fit most quick change frames which is also a bonus as a bandset can be changed in seconds.
as a lighter tube for targets at short range i dont think you can go wrong with 1632
I have been shooting the DK-1632 tubing for a couple of months now and find it to be long lasting and quite versatile. Originally the plan was just to find a sweet BB shooting tube but after some experimenting I found the 1632 capable of shooting everything from .177cal BBs at 5 grains to .44cal lead at 133 grains. It’s all about adjusting the tubing to do what you want.
The 1632 turned out to be a fantastic tube for shooting the light 5-grain (.177cal) BB. A 5 3/4” length with single tubes was found to draw at only 4 pounds but give enough speed to create some pleasing noise, dents and holes in pop cans at 10-20 yards. This draw weight can be shot all afternoon without fatigue. Most youngsters can even manage this mild weight.
The tiny BB is one of my favourite projectiles but I also enjoy 3/8” steel ammo. The 1632 propels this 54 grain ammo at 180 fps when using double tubes cut to an even 6” length. Perfect for 10m target shooting and plinking!
The 1632s will even toss a .44cal lead ball with enough smack to drop small-game with appropriate shot placement. At 170fps (8 1/2 ft-lbs) the ball should do considerable damage. The 3/8” lead at 190fps should do the trick too.
My draw length is 32” but sometimes I struggle to get there with the heavier draw weights. The temperature throughout the speed testing was 68-70F. Higher temperatures and longer draw lengths will reward you with even more speed.
Four Tubes Per Side (6 5/8” length – 14 1/2 lb draw weight)
3/8” Steel = 200 fps
3/8” Lead = 190 fps
.44cal Lead = 170 fps
As can be seen above, the 1632 tubes have lots of usefulness.... plinking, target shooting, BB shooting, teaching youngsters, and hunting are some examples. This spaghetti tubing is a lot of fun!
Hi, I shoot 6mm steel balls. I had to be very carefully cut the flatband for such small balls.
I've found Dankung 1632 is perfect for 6-6.5mm steel balls.The pull is about 2 lbs, I can make such light loop bands very quickly.

I use 1632 for 3.5mm and 6.5mm balls. You can double it over for 9.5mm and it shoots it very quickly.
If you don't stretch them too far, only 550-600%, they will last a long time. I wish it was UV protected, it quickly turned brown in the sun.

It's great for target practice and a very good band to start younger shooters with. It easy to pull back and it's my wife's favorite tubing :)

This is the perfect 10 meter pinpoint ninja elastic - powerful, quiet, and precise.
Now winter is coming i will be using my 1632 bands to shoot 177 bb's indoors, help keep the skill level up in the bad weather
I love 1632 fore plinking shooting.
6 and 8 mm steelball at 10-15 m is a dream.
I can shoot all day long.

Great 1632 red tube!! I shoot small steel balls with liquidebulletpouch. light pull force and high accuracy
