Most people are more concerned with what happens upon impact.
And the entire contact on flesh argument IS NOT RELEVANT to penetration of a hardened object! Its not the same transfer of energy. Flesh is elastic, a goggle surface is NOT. The fact that people have scratched GLASS with the stuff indicates to me a hardened material that may have the characteristics necessary to penetrate Z87.1 ANSI eye protection. Without *some* material information about the BB's physical properties its almost impossible to calculate if the BB has the potential to penetrate said standard goggles.

And YES when I finally get a bag of this stuff, I intend to give it the standard Canadian 10 foot/full auto test with a 400fps gun, just like we do when we test a new brand of goggle that has no Z87.1 stamp on it, except in this case, we will be testing the BB, not the goggle.

Fair?
