Crash B-Daman series

It is also compatible with some Battle B-Daman parts. The pistol grips and triggers vary in both size, color, and functionality. Crash only made 40 models before being canceled. Many import players liked the design, but Japanese parents believed that gun models were too violent for their kids.

Add the gimmick of firing a Crash weapon from the handle as well as introducing much more complex gimmicks.

Metal B-Daman series

The newest series of B-Daman, released on June 24th, 2007 in Japan. Japanese players have been complaining that the packaging is too large for what is inside. The package is roughly 1.5x as large as an SWS Crash B-Daman, but the B-Daman its self is less than half the size of an SWS. The B-Dama for this series is magnetic, and they are only 11 cm; instead of the usual 16 cm. So far, it is unknown if customizable parts are going to be available. It is notable that these B-Daman are incredibly cheap, around 400 Yen ($3.50 US).
