murkish Posted April 29, 2008 Share Posted April 29, 2008 Does anyone have any experiance with the biodegradable airsoft bb's? Do they work? Do they come apart in flight? Yes, they work. No, they do not come apart in flight. Imagine a hard saw dust pellet encased in a hard gel cap like a tylenol. When they get wet they melt away. They do not even break up on impact fro mwhat I have seen. Jack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MichiganShootist Posted April 30, 2008 Share Posted April 30, 2008 (edited) Manny didn't have his inventory in at the time.... so I bought 10,000 from the guys in Atlanta. They are G & G brand in .20g weight and seem to run every bit as well as the regular packets. Typical of most internet shopping options.. the freight and handling charges REALLY drove up the price.. but they were still only about a half penny each delivered which sure beats the cost of 230 grain FMJs. My advice would be to check with Manny first. Edited April 30, 2008 by MichiganShootist Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Mamma Posted May 5, 2008 Share Posted May 5, 2008 Maybe there are different kinds but, I bought "biodegradable" airsoft pellets from Atlanta Airsoft. I don't care what anyone says, these are NOT biodegradable. Yes, I've left them out in my yard, put them in a glass of water, etc. But, they behave no differently than plastic pellets. The biodegrable ones that I have are plastic pellets with a hard ceramic/clay type of core. Well after testing them and being unimpressed, I called Atlanta Airsoft to ask them about the lack of biodegradable properties in their biodegradable pellets from my informal testing. The guy said something like, "Well, overseas, their definition of biodegradable is different from here in the US." I can respect that Atlanta airsoft is trying to make a buck. But, he and I both knew these aren't biodegradable. He's also the one that explained to me that they are not solid plastic, if you crush them with a pair of pliers, you can tell. He said that non-plastic center core is what allows them to be called "biodegradable." That's pretty lame. Joe Mamma Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
