0.4 cents a round for First Strike, 0.009 cents a BB. Plus BBs never develop flat-spots from storage or get broken in transit. Shelf life of paint is like 3 months before they start to degrade, BBs polystyrene never and even bio BBs are like a year+ once they are exposed to moisture/air/sunlight etc.

This tech is cool... I mean if you think about it Simunition is this technology adapted for use in real firearms for training. But not to beat a dead horse you won't find much love for it on this forum.
For bb weights too, there is a group buy happening in the USA on the airsoft sniper forum (where recently this same thread popped up) that can get you 0.66 ceramic bearings (same/similar as the bbbastard pearls) for 0.20$ a piece. Not too badly priced for a heavy very precise bb....

Group buy link fyi:
