Pretty normal for a premium product that is in high demand and low supply.

Converted to Canadian dollars my final landed cost is $49 CAD.
I've seen that site already in the arnies debate, their are a couple of retailers oversea's that sell glass BB's as well, hence the debate as to the materials made of the BBBmax

This debate is a dead horse oversea's, take your bag of BBBmax shoot some of them and take the remainder to a university for analysis in a mass spectroscope.

As for the powder left behind. I ground the powder between my fingers and it didnt break my skin, I also taste tested the 'shards', I found them to "less toxic tasting than regular BB's".

Based on my personal experience in crushing these BB's. I don't think a AEG or a sniper rifle could ever propel the BBBmax with sufficient force to cause it to shatter against commonly found items on a field, and that weapon still be within field limits.

I believe that fields should disallow or ban these bb's based on the materials found on the field. Yes, they break glass, so you should bring your truck onto the field, etc. again all stated much earlier in page 1 of this.


PS Easy where are you from?
