A peek into BB Bastards Lab

I thought I'd give everyone a little teaser and show these experimental puppies off.

Be warned. If you thought Silicas were scary evil BBs, these are the snotballs of lord Satan himself.

And a closeup on one:

The black strands and blemishes are not in the BB, that is dust sitting on the BB.

So what are these - this is the game. I'll describe their properties:

MOHs Hardness Scale: 8 or higher (sorry, thats too easy, thats not the exact number)
Crystaline Structure: tetragonal
Each BB is CNC formed and polished using a diamond based media.
Weight: 0.60+ grams (not going to give you the exact weight, lol)
Diameter: 5.95250mm exactly.

Each BB is perfect. And I mean, absolutely perfect form (sphere), perfect weight distribution at the molecular level. There isn't a more balanced and perfect BB on the planet. Where silica is 99.9% pure, this is 100% pure.

Cost? Gads for the 10 I've made so far, way too much. When actually available in retail quantities? about $2 per round.

looking good! can't wait to try...damn...gotta look for a new gun to shoot those puppies!

2$ per round damn...lol

...there's a few people in this community I'd spend $2 a round on... lol...

At 2$/round it would be cheaper to start shooting some 30-06caliber at each other. A little messy but cheaper!

Jeaz, this is hilarious, just to get my name into the hat, I'd have to guess that they were made of Lions Teeth, or Whale Ivory. ;)

More expensive that real steel ammo...

You think these will sell? And at 0.6g+?

Who said I was going to sell it as ammo? There is a higher purpose in mind.

Any of these happen to have been in the hands of police during the past weekend? :D

christ, I'd hate to kneel on one of those bastards...

OK well what are you going to sell it as/for then? :D

It's 6mm...

Looks like at first glance they look like there made out of the same material as cue balls for pool?

sorry i meant they look like there made outa: unsaturated polyester resins and calcium carbonate reacted with an organic peroxide catalyst.

Ah, but thats part of the fun, watching you all try to figure it out!

My guess they will be used in place of metal in ball bearings. But I'm crazy...........
