Madbull and KSC perfects i heard are also close competitors.

I dont want this to become a debate about which brand is better. I respect your decision and opinion, however I absolutely disagree. I am not even going to get into a detailed discussion on this thread about which brand of BB is better.

I had a terrible experience with the 1 bag of Bastards that I purchased, and was so disgusted at the quality that I threw the bag into the trash. Keep in mind I have been playing since 93 oversea and had left the sport during my university schooling. In hindsight, I should have contacted the retailer or came to ASC to find Scarecrow but what is done is the past.

Got this this evening:

Hello Mr. Patterson,

I'm very, very sorry, but I ran out of Bioval 0.27g BB's. My inventory count was off.

I have already sent you a full refund via Paypal.

I should be able to get more of them in a few weeks.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Sincerely,

So, anyone making offers of BBBMax's please let me know who to order from.

I can't find a retailer that has them in stock. But I can offer you samples from my own stocks. I don't expect a shipment of BBBmax to be available to distributors in the USA for another month or ever given the explosion in demand.



EDIT:

I got really lucky today. I managed after 30 mins to crush a Single BBBmax. With the hand vice and BB in the Grip, I put the Grip onto a concrete basement floor and squeezed down on the grip with my hands while simultaneously trying to shift as much of my body weight onto my hands/vice. It wasnt until after i pivoted my entire body off the ground that the BB finally broke. I weigh 155 lbs.





What I found very interesting is that this time I got large debris. The remainder of the BB turned into dust some of the dust is barely visible in the bag and only by rubbing the ziploc bag against itself can you feel the bb fragments. All of the large pieces are pictured.

I rubbed the powder between my fingers with as much pressure as I could but it didnt scrach or cut my fingers, it was like rubbing sand like the last time.

This time I washed my hands and took one of the large fragments and repeated. If you apply enough pressure against the jagged portion of the bb you can break the skin, no more or less effort than if you were to do the same with a jagged rock or pebble.

The large 1/2 BB fragment is nearly completely smooth on the non curved portion and is not sharp on the outside edges. What is difficult or impossible to take a picture of is the inside edge of the BBBmax, I am not sure if it's an optical affect of a curved and clear BB but you can almost distinguish a seamline along the inside of the BB. But the probability of crushing the BB against a seamline is miniscule, what again is not pictureable is the pattern of wear on the inside of the BB caused by the vice.

This is the first time i've seen such large debris and about the 10th or so BB i've crushed in a baggie.
