Apex Posted July 25, 2005 Report Share Posted July 25, 2005 Right after having nothing but trouble last week with feed problems with my ICS MP5 i decided to try something. Instead of using some excel ammo, i got a bag of ICS .20 from zero one and guess what not feed problems at all this weekend (24th) so next weekend (31st) at Lightfighter Urban am going to run 2 mags with ICS in and 2 with Excel and lets see which ones i have problems with hey.....

FireFox Posted July 25, 2005 Report Share Posted July 25, 2005 My Excel bbs (the 3700 bag, "semi" bio) have never fallen out of the barrel, while one of my Excel 100% bio bbs always falls out of the barrel everytime I point the barrel at a downward angle.

nuclear_darkness Posted July 25, 2005 Report Share Posted July 25, 2005 I agree. The excel .2g I have used have jammed in the AEP mag due to being too small. I always prefer to use KSC .2g as they are very clean and polished and feed well. ATM I am using HFC .2 and they are fine in all my guns....BUT DO check the bag, I got a staple jammed in my FAMAS hicap!! The bags tend to have little bits of ###### in them, but the BB are good. McM <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I agree completely, the HFC bb's are superb but always give the bag a good inspection as i find stuff in them all the time....... which is a bit of a bummer but they are still amazing bb's.

Global_Inferno Posted July 25, 2005 Report Share Posted July 25, 2005 Yeh I found a BB yesterday which can only be described as having a rectal opening in its backside and a pimple on the front :S Link to post Share on other sites
Utty Posted July 25, 2005 Report Share Posted July 25, 2005 Yeh I found a BB yesterday which can only be described as having a rectal opening in its backside and a pimple on the front :S <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Euw. Sounds pretty organic to me, strange they don't biodegrade easier. Link to post Share on other sites

Jimxorb Posted July 25, 2005 Report Share Posted July 25, 2005 I have used HFC 0.25g in my AEG before but they jammed it a few times so I stopped using them, I have a tightbore and the tolerances seem too tight for HFC, I like TM BBs but they are pricy. For the money ICS BBs are great, a good BB which comes in a lareg pack, they perfrom consistently well, shame they only make 0.2g. I would like to see soem Guarder, White Devils, Goldfire, AirsoftArmouries and ICS BBs added to that big BB review, it would be nice to see how well they all do. Link to post Share on other sites
Marlowe Posted July 26, 2005 Report Share Posted July 26, 2005 I think I've said this elsewhere, but I had my first negative experience with Excel .25s at AG05 on the sunday morning. One of my RPK's high-caps inexplicably ceased to fire, and it was only upon retreating from the front lines and having a closer look that I discovered one of the bbs was in fact a 'siamese bb', having a smaller, defective bb moulded to it. Thankfully it had got no further than jamming in the lip of the magazine, and thanks to Demon.B, I was able to poke it out before it did any more damage. The thoughts of what it could have done if loaded into the rifle don't bear thinking about though. It could quite easily have ripped the hop up rubber, or worse jammed the whole gun. It is in fairness the first defect I've encountered in about 8 bags of excel bbs, but it's certainly a worrying one... Link to post Share on other sites
snip3r Posted July 26, 2005 Report Share Posted July 26, 2005 i use excel bbs but only becuase i got them with my gun and also they are quite cheap. never had a problem or mis molded bbs in about 9 or 10 bags and the yseem to work fine allthough the otehr day they did decide to jam my beretta so im gonna be checking them now and will get some of the goldfire ones sometime to play around with them Link to post Share on other sites
Sledge Posted July 26, 2005 Report Share Posted July 26, 2005 On checking a bottle of Excel .23s I bought a cople of months ago, there are visible seam lines on them. Maybe I'll go with another manufacturer next time... Link to post Share on other sites
Teap0t Posted July 26, 2005 Report Share Posted July 26, 2005 we should have another image thread devoted for mishapen bb's. Link to post Share on other sites
