I agree that low end bios are REALLY BAD. But the highend bios seem to be just as good a PVC bbs.

But that's OK if you are not interested.

Thanks for taking the time to coment.

I would agree that Bio BB's have a little way to go.

But there are some very very good ones out there now.
Been shooting Bioval wow. much better then the mid range plastic I've used.

the thing that we need to consider is that at some point plastic should be band. It's really bad for the enviorment and as Bio's are developed the companies making them will stat to push how bad it is to shoot plastic.

As Business poeple and players we need to be ready. It's coming fast.

I was just thinking the same thing when I decided to go bio and not PVC.

Actually, Saturday I had some BB Bastard shatter when doing some test shooting at a pair of ballistic glasses (wanted to know if the glasses were safe to wear) range was 2metres the BBs split right in half.

Every brand can and will shatter under the right circumstances. Bio BB's just seems to be easier.

also, some of the bio bb's out there tend to shatter into a fine dust.

bastards splitting in half is acceptable.

this doesn't have anything to do with the fact that you also sell bio bb's too right?

No one cares for the environment while playing airsoft, it's a non-issue

And the fact that the plastic BBs made from polystyrene will fade away from the enviroment not THAT much longer after these supposed sham of "biodegradable" bbs? Bio-bbs seem to be the new fish oil claiming to save the human race from extinction.

PAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAASS

Let's just all consider the carbon footprint left after any BB is imported from Asia, in multi-layer packaging, then shipped all over Canada.

Repeat for every part you order.

Add the gas you spend to get to games.

Suddently, bio-BBs aren't the real enviromental issue...

If you want to sell them, fine, just don't tout them as the end-all be-all issue that needs to guilt trip everyone.

The hype behind the Bioval products is just unbearable, you can be sure I'll never buy any of that product even if I need to buy bio-BBs.

I like to call that the David Suzuki syndrome. The false sense of self-righteousness by seeming to care about the environment or being duped into thinking you are when the behind the scenes of it all pretty much counter-acts that.

To the original poster, I'd happily stock up on .20's for indoor and .28's for outdoor, if these BIO bb's were being manufactured locally, I'd push them on all my friends as well.

Everyone has this crap in their system, you can't avoid it, it's the world we live in. Most available 'BIO' BB's still use elements that are far from enviro friendly. Do your research maybe, read some articles, learn a little science. Are bio bb's going to save the world? No. But idiots who bash anything that is a step in the right direction are irritating, the type of people who like to hear the sound of their own voice. Or in this case, love seeing their cute little sig's after each of their posts.

And mesh goggles are for morons.
the issue is not whether bio-bb's actually break down smarty pants, it's the shady way that the bio-bb retailers/manufacturers go about marketing their product by suggesting that using regular bb's somehow makes you a bad person, and mesh goggles are fuckin GREAT, you should try a pair
