LOL...all bbs break shot hard enough into a solid surface.

I go through about 4000-6000 bbs a month (because recently I tend to knock my F8cking bag over onto the floor!!!)...KSC/Madbull/BBbastard/some other brand I can't remember. They all break.

However...take a "fresh" bag of bbs...and a really old "stale" bag. Squeeze them both with pliers (or in a vice with metal jaws)...see if you notice a difference. Some bbs will squish as they break up....sort of like when you knead a loaf of bread dough and you have too much flour in it (I probably just lost 90% of you guys...LOL). Others will quickly break up into pieces and disintegrate.

If a BB were to hit something and break up...I suppose that it'd be preferable that it does the dry-bread-dough thing than the shrapnel thing. I took a bb in the back of the throat and swallowed it at the last game....I hope it doesn't do a shrapnel thing on it's way out.

Ujrio - when Daiviet came out to CAPS with his 7" long upgraded hicapa...he was all excited and pumped up about how fast it should shoot. If I recall correctly it was about 310 or 330fps when we put it through the chrony. He still shot well, and his pistol performed well. Chrony to be sure...everything else is just a half assed guess.
