BBs Quality Brand Question.

Boston

Just looking at buying some BBs in bulk there, and normallly (mroe liek so far) I've exclusively used the TM BBs, however I was thinking about using KSC. Has anybody here got experience with these. I got some ultra ****e BBs with an AEG that just shattered which strikes me as very dangerous, so I want to avoid buying crap.

Check out biodegradable-bb for a list of fairly good manufacturers. I've used two off that list;

Xtreme Precision's BIO-X offering (in 0.25g), acting on a recommendation from liamo333 - the only reason I stopped using them was airsoftscotland started ramping up their delivery charges something awful.

and Super King (aka 'king') Bbs (those black ones I had, also in 0.25g)

I've had no problems with either in terms of quality, although I'm looking at the Biotech BBs as they're apparently much more bio-degradable. I just got the S.K. ones because I couldn't get any others in time for Ground-Zero and the shop I was ordering off couldn't guaruantee arrival of the BBB ones before I departed for the UK.

Cant comment on KSC brand but I can say that the Goldfire and Blaster brands are excellent.

Boston

Thanks. Was thinking of going for a heavier bb (.23g or .25g) is the accuracy gain worth the drop in range (if there is a drop at all)

liamo333

Yes it is well worth it.

Boston

So you'd recommend the .25g

Hivemind187

You wont notice the range drop and, in fact, you may see an ever so slight increase in range. Physics is funny that way.

Boston

went for the .23g excel bbs from wgc. (needed to order replacements mags for lost one anyway).

.23 is perfect. The drop in range is hardly noticeable and the accuracy is great.

I got .25g KSC BBs about 2 years ago, excellent quality and i'd buy them again.

been using "blaster" bb's in 0.25 for many years now, never had a single issue
and i use only 6.03 or 6.02 rifled and a 6.01. very fine quality and quite cheap too.
