Bio BBs

So, my team recently played at a course that required Biodegradable BBs. Right off the bat we had a problem considering we had to pay ~$18 for a bag of airsoft elite bio bbs from airsoftsmith. ADMIN wound up being the only one to use them. He used them in his recently purchased CA8 and instant jam!!!! I don't think I will ever put these in my good guns... mabye a springer, but no guns that I would want to keep in good working order. The four of us that went up to play were very discouraged.

yea, i think that is a really lousy course if they require Bios. i mean, i can understand their reasons for not wanting a ton of BBs all over, but that is kindof stupid. BBs dont hurt anyone do they?

actually it is an environmental concern. The owner expressed that he regreted this decision. They were required to use them or not play outside at all. The main point of this was about the BBs themselves

thats too bad that you jammed with those BB's. ill watch next time when they are in my guns, but ive never jammed with the M4 or the M9. thats really weird.

The trip was good, other than the guy with the blast shield. Personally, unless there was a tournament I would rather stay around here and play. The price for bio bb's, gas and 20 dollars to play. That is a lot just for a practice.

yeah, it was fun.... but not something I see us doing in the future. I personally spent >$50. I would rather stick around here. I would love to think my outside course is at least par with theirs.

I thought I'd come out of hiding to respond. Sorry I haven't been talking much on here lately, as I've been as close to death as ever with a fever. The bio BBs were terrible. I put the Airsoft Elite .2g precision Bios in my gun and they jammed every time. They were nasty jams too - very hard to get out as the BBs were so fragile, a ton of them would slide down my barrel and then decide to start jamming my gun. Before I knew it there were 15 BBs jammed in my gun, impossible to unjam without taking apart my gun every time. It was a pain to say the least. For lower end guns they should work OK, but you won't find me using them anymore. I'd rather just not play then have to play with those again.

The owner was required (legally) to enforce the Biodegradable BBs because his field was over some protected water shed, or something like that (I wasn't really listening - I was too angry I had to buy more BBs). Anyway, that's fine for those willing to use Bios, it's just simply not for me.

EDIT: Oh, and Sticks, the Conquest trip overall was pretty cool for me. Sure it cost a lot of money and I won't be doing it again for a while, but it was still worth it to me. The outside field was rather crappy (not including the Bio bbs part), but the indoor field was great. Could've used better lighting, but the setup was cool, and the factory was huge! I had a lot of fun using Roamer's TM SPAS 12. It was the perfect indoor course for a shotgun

I will have to say that it was very impressive work going against all of the AEGs. Everyone talk about the shotgun and how effective it was.

"Is that guy still in there with that shotgun!?!?!"
A quote from several members of our Conquest excursion! Way to represent ADMIN

Bios are too expensive for me .

Im not going to switch to bios for the time being. Maybe when they get all the bugs worked out yeah. but till then its not happening.

Whats the big idea any way , bbs are bbs bio friendly or not .

They make them bio friendly so like in a couple weeks they'll just disintegrate i think the word might be.

Yeah but they're plastic they will get covered up with dirt anyway not like they do any harm to the enviorment or anything like that .

I don't know what to tell you lol.

Maybe they just don't like our guns to work good. lol

I think that bio bbs could have an positive effect on the enviorment but why do some fields only allow you to use bio bbs .

maybe if they rent the place their landlords don't want alot of bbs all over the place. Just in case they kick them out etc

For the field we played in that required them (which is actually now shut down) their reasoning was because they were legally required to require us to use Bios only. This was because their land was over a protected underground waterway and there was fear of the BBs releasing toxins that could affect the passing water. Although BBs aren't necessarily harmful to the environment and they're so tiny that they hardly are a nuisance to the land-owners, it would still be nice if a company made a Bio-BB that had the same effectiveness and strength of a standard BB.

I agree with that

ADMIN I think were in luck. Killerbeez is making a real bio bb(there other ones are colored greens and browns they call that earth friendly). I'll try to find the link, I think they call it earth degradible or something stupid like that.

hopefully they wont jamm and such. Like those other ones we know of

Hopefully they won't cost as much as the others either .

George Carllon on the subject of plastic...

That is our purpose in life though...PLASTIC...

To be honest. The bb's you buy are already semi-biodegradable. And who knows a new bacteria will develop that eats plastic...

Smart one that would mean that homes and cars and other things .

probably.

Or we could just like make make the outsides good plastic but thin so it doesnt get too jammed and then the inside parts biodegrade able.
