[Full MP7 Review]

 

OK, Wupjak just asked me a good question.  Since we're dealing with nicd's here, how do we discharge the battery, besides firing?  Does the custom battery charger discharge the battery if the charger isn't plugged in?  Although the main MP7 manual has English translations at the bottom, there is a separate paper for the charger and battery that's only in Japanese. 

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

 

 

There is no necessity in the real world to discharge NiCds once in use.

 

Just re-charge, unless you always discharged and re-charge precisely ( as the original Nicads in Nasa Sats were ) the same amount, you have no chance of getting battery memory.

 

All the sensible evidence points this out, and practical experience of our rental batteries over several years has confirmed it.

[Biodegradable BBs tested]

 

Hrm, so where can I find these Bio-bbs that are actually biodegradeable?  It's really not fair if KSC or EXCEL say they are bio bbs when they are not. 

 

Any ideas?  I tried googling but came up with zilch. 

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

 

 

There is a new Biotech dealer appointed by the Factory, who will be going on line in the USA this month based in CA, his web site is not up yet, but he will have the full range in stock, in quantity.

 

There are other make of Biodegradable bbs by, Marui, Excel, King, and some others, but either they are unstable, and break down unwontedly, or not as biodegradable as Biotechs, and I do not think they are any cheaper.

Biotechs do not break down until exposed to natural microbial bacteria found in the soil, so they will not go off in a clean mag, or if left in the window .

 

If Excel Bio BBs indeed contain limestone, what is wrong with them? Wouldn't it help as fertilizer?

 

I think you will find that Excel semi-biodegradable core is made of Barium which I think is inert, but does not bio-degrade as such, but the outside layer is Poly something, with a degrade time of about a million years If the outer casing is not broken, the center will not disperse. Also lime is not a fertilizer It's used to regulate soil acidity ( well it is on our farm )

 

We are biased, we have used Biotechs for 2 years on site, and now think no bio's the devils work, plus they look bloody awful.

 

VASF tests were very good, but we now have hands on practical experience of the difference, in using semi-excel, and Biotechs, and if you looked at our game site you would see the difference.

 

If somebody sneaks in non Biotechs, you can spot them immediately they fire, or from where they have been firing. Even in the heavy CQB area, the Biotechs are unobtrusive, while they quietly degrade away, we are still picking up old Excel's from 2 yrs ago

 

Plus of course we are the International Factory appointed Agents for Arte Corp Biotechs

Never did Chemistry so I can't comment on the molecular compostition but :~

 

Biotech’s are based on Bionelle, it has a certificate for being a compostable plastic resin and is used in agriculture, and other fields of application ( degradable plant pots fleece etc ).

 

Made by Showa High Polymer, Japan who are the World leader in bio-degradable plastic's.

 

Bionelle is broken down by microbiological organisms in the soil where BBBs reverts to carbon dioxide and water ( best translation I can make ) .

 

I am writing to them for more information but I expect exact formular is a trade secret etc. But that is the material from the point of view of the Biotech BBs, its homogeneous material with the colour running right through.
