SlickAxe Posted July 1, 2014 Report Share Posted July 1, 2014 Evolution Airsoft is serious about this: http://www.nlairsoft.com/en/home/item/new-camouflage-pattern-bbs.html Not only 100% bio, but also a camouflage pattern on the BB itself Link to post Share on other sites
hitmanNo2 Posted July 1, 2014 Report Share Posted July 1, 2014 More bio BB choice is always welcome. 0.30g+ would be nice though. Link to post Share on other sites

subjectxm13 Posted July 2, 2014 Report Share Posted July 2, 2014 Those bbs look like Japanese wasabi peas. What would be the benefit of the camo? I don't really get it. Link to post Share on other sites
chas Posted July 2, 2014 Report Share Posted July 2, 2014 Lesser visual impact. As in: "The ground of these woods is littered with *fruitcage* white balls. I wish someone would do something about it...". Link to post Share on other sites
Tw1tch Posted July 2, 2014 Report Share Posted July 2, 2014 Will they come in AOR1 and AOR2 for my SEAL loadouts? Link to post Share on other sites
faramon Posted July 2, 2014 Report Share Posted July 2, 2014 No one will see your BB's coming Phrasing .. they will be swift like ninjas and hidden like the shadows in an unlit cave! Link to post Share on other sites
FireKnife Posted July 2, 2014 Report Share Posted July 2, 2014 Yay for more bio options but the pattern seems a tad pointless. Sure they might have some uses but lets face it, in most games the colour of ammo makes little difference really. Novel but that is about it. 'FireKnife' Link to post Share on other sites
BLZeebub Posted July 2, 2014 Report Share Posted July 2, 2014 The idea is you wont see lots of them lying around as they blend in with the ground until they biodegrade. Whether that is the case in the real world is another matter but anything that helps with the image to landowners is a bonus. B-> Link to post Share on other sites
AG1212 Posted July 2, 2014 Report Share Posted July 2, 2014 What's this craze about Bio BBs? Unless the BBs are made out of non-toxic materials, the only difference is that the Bio BBs will leach toxic materials into the soil and water systems at a faster rate than regular BBs. If a BB takes 100's of years to degrade all the better IMO, they have no impact as plants and small invertebrates can easily grow and move between them. And even if, say, Bio BBs were made from fertilizing or other organic materials, then you're just adding excess nutrients to the ecosystem which can lead to eutrohpication in waterways etc. Slap on ''Environmentally friendly'' or ''Bio Degradable'' and people's brains stop working. Bottom line is there needs to be a proper EIA done. Link to post Share on other sites
AceOfSkulls Posted July 2, 2014 Report Share Posted July 2, 2014 Yay , now it will be harder to judge where my shots are going. Link to post Share on other sites
Packy313 Posted July 2, 2014 Report Share Posted July 2, 2014 I think it might me rather hard to adjust your Hop-Up systems in the field with ninja ammo.. I am currently using black bb's. (You don't see them i the air either). The problem is, i can't F*cking adjust my hopup unit with these bb's. I just can't see if the bb is flying straight or up/down....

ninja master of coffee Posted July 3, 2014 Report Share Posted July 3, 2014 Apparently micro organisms convert them into compost. Interesting... The only downside will be seeing them in flight. Link to post Share on other sites

Aim at a large, white sheet of paper at a distance you hope to engage at, or use white BBs of the same brand and weight to set your hop. Link to post Share on other sites
Packy313 Posted July 3, 2014 Report Share Posted July 3, 2014 Jep, thats how i adjusted my HopUp before the game, i was talking about adjusting it mid-game. But I just will go back to white BB's. The black ones where an experiment. The "Stealth" factor is nullified by the sound of the aeg i think, and doesn't compromise the fact that you can't adjust the HU properly.

chas Posted July 3, 2014 Report Share Posted July 3, 2014 Black BBs are useful for spring snipers though. A VSR can be supersilent. Link to post Share on other sites
Cannonfodder80 Posted July 5, 2014 Report Share Posted July 5, 2014 I was under the impression that compost is a generic term for what you get when anything decomposes. How long do they take to biodegrade? Also what's wrong with just a plain tan or green colour? The size of the bbs mean a camo pattern isn't nesessary to hide the bbs All in all I think this is nothing more than a cheap gimmick to advertise their product b trying to create a problem that doesn't exist Link to post Share on other sites
Danke Posted July 5, 2014 Report Share Posted July 5, 2014 What if you're one of those guys that likes to run a clear bottle kludged onto a hicap as a makeshift hopper? This would help. Link to post Share on other sites

Stuey Posted July 5, 2014 Report Share Posted July 5, 2014 All hicaps are gravity fed hoppers. There exists a particularly horrendous variant where you can just screw a BB bottle onto the mag, cutting out the middle man of even having to bother loading your mags. Link to post Share on other sites
