I really doubt it's graphite, it's way too light of a material to be doping BBs with. A BB made of pure graphite would only be .23g.
It's more likely to be lead or zinc. The softness is going to be a byproduct of the BINDER used, the plastic. What makes it fall apart or break easily is the filler between the bonding material, the metal powder.
