Re-using BBs

Keggers

Just to prove it to my friend I will ask you guys. Re-using bbs is a recipe for disaster true or false (I'm vouching you will say true) also while we're at it putting bbs down the barrel (I'm also against that)

dont re-use bb's, small deformations will ruin your barrel and for the price of

bb's (€12 for 4000) its not worth the hassle of fitting a new barrel

What about putting them right down the barrel?

Stercus Accidit

it will break the tappet plate and air nozzle, any time these parts break we ask if the owner re-used bbs, he will say yes.

I presume you mean from muzzle to hop chamber, eh not sure. iv never done

it tbh. i cant see what harm it could do, but probably best to avoid doing it

I'm assuming it's alright to put them in a claymore?

Ive put bbs down the barrel before with no ill effects because I was too lazy to load a mag. I would assume it goes down to the hop up and stops so honestly cant see a problem.
And yes you can reuse them in a claymore as claymores have no barrels to be damage

i used them for that...altho nonex told me popcorn kernels are excellent for claymores or dried peas....the latter in the wet might post a bit of a mushy problem..


on the resuse...we had a big discussion before on this if my memory is right...the general answer was it is a very bad idea to do in an aeg

Would you re-use a condom?

Ammo is cheap enough to not have to re-use; you're only opening up
a can of worms with blockages and damage to your AEGs by recycling
BBs.

hahah...well its double edged...think putting a wet hand into your new vest only to be met with what can only be accurately described as someone else old phlegm...LOL

dont do it, they can get stuck in the barrel and then you knacker the barrel by poking it to get the BB out., as for dropping BBs down the barrel, its not really a problem but the trouble is they'll sit on the wrong side of the hop up so it wont be as powerful or accurate..,

Nonex is very badly mistaken. What he doesn't realise is that next year HRTA will be covered with popcorn trees.....

Wouldn't all the bbs on a bb tree be biodergradeale that would be a problem

Any particular reason why you would want to do that?

As I had said if your too lazy to load a mag. Or as I have done it once was to see how much it would reduce to velocity of the bb
