Technical Question

cfuserkildare · 2017-01-06 09:43:48

Hi folks, Have had a question in my head for a while now, hope someone can help. How come we do not use bbs with a dimpled surface like golf balls? Surely the gain in range would be a huge benefit to us, especially with the 1 joule limit we have here? Any comments?

Possibly due to size or ease of production and less chance of hop up rubber damage ,

There was going back to the very early airsoft guns bbs that were apparently bullet shaped
