Depends on what you're doing with it. Rapid fire, playtime at the range? Crimp will help prevent bullet setback in the magazine. Accuracy shooting slowly and deliberately? No crimp needed or wanted.

As far as people being here...most of us have day jobs and don't have the opportunity to check the site from work. Patience is a virtue. You might get a quicker answer from a different site, but what's the life experience of a 13yr old skipping school really worth these days?
