I'm a man, I can handle it. Bullets seem to be bullet-proof. They don't
seem to die when dropped or played under water(unlike crystals, they don't
absorb water).

Like FJM, I go for a big(read: using analog delays), fairly clean,
overdriven sound these days. Astatics add their own distortion which I'm
trying to avoid. It's just a phase. Overdriven is not necessarily
synonymous with distortion. A bullet through a tube amp still has plenty of
edge.
