Are biodegradable BBs eatable?

Hello,

Just wondering if biodegradable BBs are eatable because my cat likes to eat random shit on the ground and I do feel like keeping him around for a little longer.

Thanks

Depends on what kind. They all use chemicals so might be best to check with a vet after finding out the ingredients of your bio BB.

Invest in a broom and a dustpan and spend a couple of minutes cleaning up BBs after you shoot?

I ate some once. No effects as of 2 years later.

Bioval makes Banana Flavoured ones Soooo good. Put it on top of your ice cream.

Not sure about bio, but regular BBs will go right through intact. My cats have eaten some. No idea what bio will break down to.

I think I'd worry more about "real biodegradable" ones. Regular BBs probably pass through like a seed, but I'm not sure I'd want the BB to start breaking down while inside my body.

so if you get hit at a scrim and smell shit after it is just crunches processed bbs

That's a matter of opinion

Quote:

· Samples EXCEL, EXCEL BIO, & CYBER GUN contain large amounts of BaSO4 - Barium Sulphate; a compound found in plastic that doesn't beak down in our environment.
· The sample BIOTECH contain >10% CaCO3 – potassium bicarbonate.

NO detectable amounts of the following elements where found in any of the samples: V, Cl, Cu, Fe, Zn, Ni, Cr.

1. BIOTECH consists of starch and potassium bicarbonate.
2. EXCEL and EXCEL BIO consists of styrene and Barium Sulphate
3. Cyber Gun consists of a [akrylnitril-styrene-sampolymer] and Barium Sulphate

The conducted tests show that the sample called Biotech also known as "Bioval BB's" are the ONLY environmentally biodegradable BB. Biotech BB's are a made of easily degradable components. The sample Excel & Cyber Gun BB's: All containing the compound styrene and are not biodegradable.

It's about the pants you're wearing and the pants you're team mate is wearing, Is it real multi cam or is it Chinese repro multi cam? I don't know but in the end it's still multicam.
