Reviving an old post, somewhat:
I just saw these in the hunting/airsoft area of a nearby SAIL store, and figured "what the hell". My KWA M9 PTP doesn't accept the [walmart] bio-bbs i currently use in my AEG (they jam up within the magazines and its spring doesnt push them up into the gun 75% of the time), and figured these are worth a shot for 3 reasons:
1) marketed as high precision. It might be stupid marketing slang but it led me to assume they are better spec'd then the bulk brand i used before
2) 0.25g. The pistol fires quite hard, and these heavy bbs slow it down and really pack a punch (need to spec it properly for matches, but for target plinking its satisfactory)
3) Marking powder that doubles as a dry lube. Cant say i am knowledged in the science of different types of gun lube, but this seemed like a worthwhile premise.
The exact product was a 2,200 pack of orange .25g bbs for $9.99.
Thoughts
- Powder is well adhered. it does not automatically transfer to hands/mag loaders/mag, barrel, container, etc. That said, after firing about 30 from a single magazine, areas where the pellet is forcibly pushed on/against (really only in the transfer between magazine and chamber) a small amount of "dust" is left behind. Not very much, but id imagine after ~300 rounds it would become noticable.
- Marking on target is alright, but not extraordinary. Firing at a brick wall left small light orange circles where the bb hit, barely visible at 10 feet but enough that you can see it distictly from 4-5feet (if you wanted to investigate a "cheater" it would do its job)
- accuracy was good, shots were fired from a short distance so not much can be said here.
OVERALL OPINION
general use : C+
specialized use A-
These would be great if you want your target marked, and the high weight is desired by some players. However, for a friendly game where you dont "need" to mark your hits, these will likely lead to more gun cleaning then regular bbs, as there is a very small amount of dust (presumably dry lube) left within the gun.
