"6mm Ammo" supplies any good?

6mm are fine, the guy started it back in 2016 - nothing amazing but they're as solid as any other brand.

Not sure why the RZR hate, I've used them for years without any issues. Right now I'll swap between blasters and RZRs depending what the site shop or retailer have available.

Still not tried The Draft Club but having chat to the owner recently, it's definitely one I'm interested in testing - from our conversations he seemed extremely knowledgeable and could explain the differences between their BBs and the others on the market.

Only time I had hassle with the Nuprol BBs was their diamonds/gold back a few years ago - just when Geoffs came to light since every manufacturer (including Nuprol) were suffering from swollen BBs when the compounds changed.

I'll hold off buying any more until you've completed your research, though i've got about 30,000 blasters to use up ?

I call your 30,000 and raise you 60,000 ! ?

had the chance to pick them up at a ridiculous discount from a very nice chap who’s emigrating and had a garage full of Airsoft consumables that he used to sell through his fleabay shop to get rid of pronto ! ?

 
Thanks Mr G small samples of 10 or less is all that I require with the make, type ie bios, weight and how long you have had them since purchase.

The more samples I look at the less impressed I am with Chinese manufacturers. The Chinese make some incredibly accurate stuff till they go into mass production and start using monkeys to operate their machines. The quality control seems none existent.

ok I am at absolute this coming Sunday so will bring a few small envelopes if you are there. not interested in the absolute bbs as they are of poor standard and have tested them already.

 
Will be a very interesting survey gasman.

Looking forward to results tho I'm sure it'll mean spending more money for quality...

Like to see them try and touch my stuff.

While they have every right to ban usage they have no right to confiscate.

While some batches of the original  Nuprol bbs had issues the RZR are absolutely fine. Worst bbs for shattering are bio, excel and bulldogs. Bulldogs I tested actually splintered into some really small sharp shards. Not good if you are wearing mesh eyepro.

Sounds like absolute are making judgements on assumptions not facts.

Place does not sound well run at all.

agree with ITH here, These are used at Urban as the on site BBs if needed, ive not had much issues with the .25s but the .20s would occasionally shatter when i was testing in the garden, difficult to see what happened in game though

my brother uses them more than me, well using up, and he has said he has seen a few part ways!, also got a bag of ICS bbs, not sure where he got them, he is currently using them and not had any issues i know about

im on  .25 blasters.....few thousand (25000 i think) to get through!

 
My local site has a temporary ban on Blasters. Over the past few game days they have found them to be shattering and a few guys who wear mesh have had the splinters in there eyes. More who wear lower mesh masks have had a mouth full of shattered bb's. 

The site shop has sold blasters for ages, so they reckon it is just a bad batch. 

It's mentioned at the morning briefing and people are asked not to use them. They only time I have seen/heard of bb's being confiscated is when a group of teenagers turned up with tow-tone's and bottles of bright yellow generic looking 0.12g bb's...  They got them back at the end of the day though.

I've not used 6mm ammo either, but their prices do look pretty good. I may try them out at some point. 

 
Hey guys!

In case you were sitting on the fence about trying 6mm ammo I got in touch and asked him if he'd be kind enough to make us our own little discount code.

He very kindly has:

Hey Lewis, thanks for getting in touch!

I'm glad to hear that 6mm Ammo has appeared on your radar and you like our BBs!

Since you asked so nicely I'll happily give you a discount code that you can distribute on the forum. I can create a code (let's call it airsoft-forums) and that will give you 10% off all products. Apply the code at checkout and remember that it's case-sensitive!

Thank you and regards,

Max

At least it's a bit cheaper to try them out and make your own opinion of them now.

If you're reading this Mr. 6mm Ammo - please feel free to join the forum and make a thread in the "Places to buy" section. :)

 
You can opt for free 2nd class as well, which then makes it even cheaper.

 
That's very cool of him!

Thanks for the heads-up L3wisD.

A bit worrying about the Blasters since they're probably the most popular?

I'm very interested to hear the results of Gasman's tests...

I gave him some 0.25g 6AMMO to check.

I shoot mainly blasters, when I try guns at home I'm shooting at a distance of about 8.5 metres. 

I'm shooting at a plastic milk bottle in the bathroom.  When BBs hit the tiles most don't break, and those that do tend to break into large pieces rather than shatter into small bits.

It might be an issue with specific batches/weights.

I'm using .25s.

Cheers

Welcome aboard!

Glad you've had some orders out of it! :)

I'll be doing an order myself in a week or two.

If you make a thread over here:

https://airsoft-forums.uk/forum/10-places-to-buy/

The guys can give you feedback on your BBs and hopefully encourage others to order from you as well.

Cheers!

Hi buddy and welcome.

Testing has been done on some of your range alongside a bunch of other mainstream brands. Hope you find this helpful.

Hey @Duff, thanks for the welcome, and for sharing this data. That is very interesting. This is the first time we've had any reports of shattering. Can you provide a bit more information about the test conditions?

Well with the NAE coming up in a few weeks, and wanting to try some .28s over my regular .25s, now seems a good a time as any to try 6mm ammo out. Will see how they compare to my regular ASG Blaster Devils. Theyre pretty much the same price via amazon (local store sells the Blasters at a ripoff price of £14 for a bottle of 3k compared to about £7 on amazon!). 

What Id really like to see is heavier sniper weights being made at a reasonable price. Paying £15 for a 1k pot of .4s makes my eyes water, even if it does last a while.
