Bodgeups Posted May 18, 2014 Report Share Posted May 18, 2014 Have a look at the quick review I did for BB King white 0.4g bb's. Link to post Share on other sites
Vice Posted May 18, 2014 Report Share Posted May 18, 2014 Look good, what percentage had extrusion marks on? Will eventually need a replacement for my KA & Madbul .4's Link to post Share on other sites
Bodgeups Posted May 19, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 19, 2014 Well I've not counted them all, but enough to make you think "hang on, these might not be that good...". There are comparable brands on ebay right now, you can buy small packets of 250 for £3-4. I'd suggest giving those a go. Link to post Share on other sites
Leshy Posted May 19, 2014 Report Share Posted May 19, 2014 Could you fire a few from your gbb pistol and give us some feedback on range and energy creep? Link to post Share on other sites

Murdoc Posted May 23, 2014 Report Share Posted May 23, 2014 Finally!!! I had nightmares about no light colored heavy BB-s any more... Link to post Share on other sites
scorch Posted May 23, 2014 Report Share Posted May 23, 2014 Finally!!! I had nightmares about no light colored heavy BB-s any more... I have half a jar of tan .40g left, and I was starting to get twitchy. Link to post Share on other sites
RSM Posted May 23, 2014 Report Share Posted May 23, 2014 I wonder if these are similar to the 'Doge' heavy weights that were on the news page a few days back at Airsoft Atlanta Link to post Share on other sites

BLZeebub Posted June 4, 2014 Report Share Posted June 4, 2014 If they are anything like mine then it will take customs a week to sit on them and decide what to do regarding the ransom note! B-> Link to post Share on other sites
farrasdevell Posted June 4, 2014 Report Share Posted June 4, 2014 I just got an update through that import charges have been mailed to me. Unfortunately I am away from home for a few days so they will have to wait until I get back. Link to post Share on other sites
BLZeebub Posted June 5, 2014 Report Share Posted June 5, 2014 Just got my letter aswell, so off to parcelfarce to pay the ransom if they'll let me... B-> Link to post Share on other sites
farrasdevell Posted June 8, 2014 Report Share Posted June 8, 2014 So, my delivery of 0.4 and 0.43 from Amped came in Finally after UK customs dicked about for a week. As mentioned each type came with one of Amped airsoft's branded BB bags which are actually quite nice i'll be keeping these about for a while i think. They have a handy Joules chart on the rear too. I have 4 bags of each on initial inspection I'd say 25-30% of the .43s have an imperfection and slightly closer to 50% with the .4s. I suspect that this is as a result of how the bb's are removed from the moulding sprews as the dimples are a uniform shape. The .43s are a Much stiffer material than the .4s which is obvious when doing a crush test or cutting. There is 0 shine to these at all they are not rough but they arent polished you can feel some friction round against round in the bag as you move your hand through them which I believe is what has lead to feeding issues in some mags. So dimplage looks like this: And cut sections look like this: .43s on the left were considerably harder to cut hence off center cutting the .4s were much easier. These rounds are air free and consistent I chopped 10 of each and they all look the same. If the factory changed their removal over to a blade as opposed to a knock-off system these rounds would be awesome. I am not shooting until tomorrow I will try some bench rest groupings and a general game report on performance. Out of all 8 bags I found one girraffe that made me go O.o seen here Link to post Share on other sites
farrasdevell Posted June 8, 2014 Report Share Posted June 8, 2014 I was going to do some benchrest testing today but when i got to site I was asked to go and shore up a team of firsttime players so no measured tests. I decided to hammer it and be rounds intensive so I loaded up 150 .4's for the morning and had a plan to shoot 150 .43s in the afternoon. By lunch time I managed to spam my way through 125 of the .4's without incident, running and gunning more than normal as I was trying to provide the team with momentum. I was mighty impressed with the .4s even with their defects they performed on par with the MB I have been eeking out of late. After lunch I loaded up with .43's and after a little bit of resetting my hop I had them flying dead flat out to the 65mt mark before they dropped off. I have for the past 3years or so been using a noobies TDC kit with his custom bucking and It has served me well through some pretty shocking playing conditions. But after about 80 rounds of the .43s I started to get dippers and a few flyers. A little tweek of the hop and it was the same I knew what had happened I'd torn my hop rubber! and left a mess in the barrel to boot Luckily I can just rotate the rubber and be on my way again but I wasn't about to do that in the field. As an experiment I have fitter a IR hop atch to my rifel to see if it copes with the lack of slick better as the Noobies rubber is quite thin and I'm not entirely surprised the roughness of these rounds tore it. I shall report back later. Link to post Share on other sites
bjorn Posted June 9, 2014 Report Share Posted June 9, 2014 Good findings, please do report back with some more target practicing. Link to post Share on other sites
farrasdevell Posted June 9, 2014 Report Share Posted June 9, 2014 A quick disclaimer these groups were shot with 0 hop with a freshly installed IR hop patch that has not been fettled with. I threw the gun back together after cleaning and installing the IR last night and thought i'd put a few rounds down the garden. Distance 18mt -60ft no wind BBwars .4g *defective batch* All groups were within 35-40mm from the centre of furthest POI (1.5inch) Best group 20mm worst 40mm in set #2 and #5 I snatched the trigger and immediately knew I'd done it which ruined the average. Next set is again with 0 hop set Distance 18mt -60ft no wind BBwars .4g *defective batch* All groups were within 35-40mm from the centre of furthest POI (1.5inch) Best group 20mm worst 40mm the groups were noticably tighter with the .43s. I ruined the average by being interrupted and having to run around the house trying to find my wallet to pay a bill on the phone Otherwise they would all have been 35mm or under. I will try and get out and do some distance shooting during the week if I get time and the weather holds. Thoughts and feelings? Link to post Share on other sites
RSM Posted June 9, 2014 Report Share Posted June 9, 2014 Semi decent performing if a little ugly looking .43s in white you say?Might just have to reassemble the Tanaka... Link to post Share on other sites
farrasdevell Posted June 9, 2014 Report Share Posted June 9, 2014 Going by yesterdays performance they are A4 @60mt repeatable shooting. When the new polished rounds come in I think they will perform even better. But without setting this rhop at distance that is conjecture. Link to post Share on other sites
Bodgeups Posted June 9, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 9, 2014 Well here's my first video using the BB King white 0.4g bb's. I have a PDI 6.01 430mm inner barrel, using a Firefly Hard hop rubber and firing at 485fps. Using the old-school 'biro mod' (I've had my Gspec for six years...) I have this shooting level to 150ft. Oh, and yes that's a laser rangefinder on the side of my scope Link to post Share on other sites

Hatchet Posted October 28, 2014 Report Share Posted October 28, 2014 Had the opportunity to shoot a fair few of the BB king ones off this weekend. Surface quality less than I've come to expect - noticeably rough, mould marks, etc. Accuracy was average, pretty much the standard amount of flyers and so on (in comparison to the tan guarders which I've been using). Feeding was a nightmare though, I spent way too much time dry firing, reinserting magazines and so on. Arm and shoulder wrecked today from all the excess work. I can't say for sure if this is down to the BB's or just the weight of them, but I never used to have as many feed issues. I've ordered a couple of new VSR magazines, since they're cheap and these are years old, in case they're just tired. The only upside is, of course, the visibility. The search for a decent quality brand continues. I'm giving serious consideration to using my last half bag of tan .4s as 1 in 5 tracer with the greys (which will otherwise never get used). I suspect .3's would be acceptable in a DMR (which are 420fps or thereabouts round here), but in a 500fps boltie I don't think they're up to it. Link to post Share on other sites
DeltaZero Posted October 28, 2014 Report Share Posted October 28, 2014 Might be worth you checking out WE's Nuprol range when they release them.. They've got white .4g bbs.. Link to post Share on other sites
