Due to their low damage, I never really looked into them. The search option results were few and skewed by a member that named himself "Spartan", but I did find a post. It discussed rangers in ballista and someone that hated going against spartan bullet rangers because the stun had a 90% proc rate, lasted from 5-9 seconds, and "gave them time to fire another".

Of this, I was curious of two things:
1) Does the proc interfere or is overridden by Head Butt or Chainspell+Stun?
2) In low-man situations against things with severe TP attacks, is it practical to TP in Spartans and WS with Silvers?

Apart from a lack in production and sales on Ragnarok's AH, I've picked up a Spartan Bullet pouch in Union.

I dunno what Spartan Bullets' proc rate is like in Ballista, but I did attempt to use them while XP'ing. Against VT and IT targets, it proc'd very rarely. I don't have a good estimate, but I think I only ever saw two or three procs from half a stack that I fired off trying to add utility instead of simply damage. I didn't test the proc rate extensively on weaker mobs, but it certainly didn't seem to last 5+ seconds for me. It's probably a function of Elvaan INT or something, knowing SE.

As for interfering with other forms of Stun, yes, they will. Stun is Stun whether it comes from Blue Magic, Dark Magic, or weapon procs. I double-checked on this a long time ago using Webcutter on my Dark Knight. Interfering with Head Butt isn't really a big deal, though, and you should not need to mess around with Spartan Bullets while Chainspell+Stun is active.

i only have one experience with using spartan bullets for the stun factor. was about 3-4 years ago and it was my first fenrir attempt, i never did the fight and was told to get spartan bullets so i could stun fenrir as much as possible. long story short, they were worthless. If i remember correctly it never proc'd maybe once out of half a stack of bullets. we lost that fight due to lack of dmg, round 2 i switched to silver bullets and we won np lol and the stack and a half of bullets i had left are still sitting on a mule lol.

Everyone knows you need to add a Jupiter's Staff and Snow Rings to this equation!

don't forget thunder obi and day/weather!

Good ballista ammo is the only use I've found, won't proc anything worthwhile.
