EXCEL Bio BBs?
« on: April 28, 2008, 06:19:25 PM »
(Sorry if this in the wrong place... Closest board I could find)

I was reading over the AA rules, and noticed that EXCEL Bio BBs are required. Is this still a requirement for all events, or just the ones that take place on bases? Also, where can I order/buy 0.2g EXCEL Bios for a reasonable price?

not sure about the AA rules but you can order Excel Bio's on pretty much every airsoft site like airsoftextreme.com and evike.com.
I've also gotten them off ebay before. they work excellent.

This is by no means an official answer, but is to build the backdrop.

There was a huge debate in the far, far past about whether Bios will degrade any faster than regular bb's. At the time most felt that there really was no noticeable difference. Many struggled with performance over low impact. Then Killer Beez came out with their brand, which for the longest time was LC approved. So at that time most people around here fell in line with that. Not until recently has LC shifted to use of the "earth friendly" killer beez ammo. Which are still not deemed biodegradable by the way. So I guess the best answer for now is we'll see.

Personally the thing that bothers me is those piles of bb's that people create around their vehicle or loading area. "Bio" or not, any item concentrated in a small area is very noticeable and detracts from the area. I'd say just be mindful when loading and let the bb's fly.

That's why everyone just dumps them in my jeep's trunk.

Ahh. Well, thank you for all of the information. I guess I'll stick with standard BBs until there is evidence that they are, in fact, biodegradable.

Hey, has anyone heard of bio BBs shattering on wire masks? Someone told me at a game never to get a wire mask, because bio BBs and lighter BBs shatter on them and can mess up your eyes.

I think any BB can shatter on a wire mask; Vince got bb shards in his eyes at Lion Claws while wearing wire mesh.
