Don't follow the above advice. Avoid mesh goggles.

I have been testing a variety of AEGs every week as I work on gearboxes and during testing have managed to shatter Madbull, BB Bastard and Airsoft Central BBs, all non-BIO. The majority of the BBs that I fire into my test box shatter into small pieces which could easily go through mesh.

The "quality" of the BBs doesn't make any difference as far as my testing has shown. It's all just compressed styrene, and there's nothing magical about polishing that prevents BBs from shattering on impact.

Don't take any chances with this.
