Dan_W 87 Posted June 10, 2014 They sound pretty impressive. If it is true that it is the third hardest substance on earth then it is pretty cool people are using it for our humble little hobby Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Russe11 1,225 Posted June 10, 2014 hmm so diamond BB's are harder and probably cheaper... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
team flex 384 Posted June 10, 2014 can't really justify the price though imo. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
two_zero 863 Posted June 10, 2014 haha XD"Reusable" - good luck finding them, or indeed identify them in a skirmish!btw is this not the company that did a box with 10 individually packed BBs or something like that? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AK47frizzle 653 Posted June 10, 2014 8 bbs for £6-7? Lol, nope. 50-100? maybe. 1 Airsoft_Mr B reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Adam3088 237 Posted June 10, 2014 lolwutm8, I'd be very interested to see testing in comparison to 'regular' sniper weight bb's, bet the difference will be minimal at best. Got to love the claim that they're re-usable, imagining all these snipers rummaging around in the dirt looking for their precious bb's which probably have a higher price/weight then gold... (edit: I take it back, 0.66g of gold is about £17, but still ) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NickM 290 Posted June 10, 2014 By reusable they are probably referring to those people using them for accuracy competitions not in actual games. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SimonQuigley 172 Posted June 10, 2014 The worst thing is that they're actually out of stock... 3 Airsoft_Mr B, jay83 and team flex reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jcheeseright 4,102 Posted June 10, 2014 yeah, I can actually see a use for these in a way, while the weight is a bit daft since they're all completely identical you can use them as a really good benchmark BB if you're fettling a bolt action gun to be as accurate as possible. Removing the possibility of 'duff BB flier' from the thought process allows you to concentrate on the real problems that a gun may have. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If it is true that it is the third hardest substance on earth then it is pretty cool people are using it for our humble little hobby Well, Diamond is the third hardest known substance. Wurtzite boron nitride being the hardest and Lonsdaleite being the second 1 Dan_W reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BrightCandle 518 Posted June 10, 2014 If your a sniper how many rounds do you really fire in a game? 20 or 30 isn't unreasonable considering how few rounds you really ought to be firing at people. There is a decent chance these aren't prohibitively expensive for an actual sniper weapon and role. Still I think this is more in the realms of competition shooting and not skirmish as the price is quite steep but its also not something your going to use in an AEG. I would like to see an accuracy comparison. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I would like to see an accuracy comparison. I can't see competiton shooting with airsoft rifles. If we can't use metal bb's, why should we be able to use these? I think this is more of a concept idea to see what they can do, or for plinkers only. I'm waiting for the silly YouTube comparison videos to come up where there are usually more tham one variable.

Mr Monkey Nuts 753 Posted June 11, 2014 Although these do sound like a bit of a hyper nice product, I have to say I really do love the standard BB Bastards. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TacMaster 1,234 Posted June 11, 2014 I'll stick to my 0.30g for sniping thx Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Unrustle_Thine_Jimmies 722 Posted June 11, 2014 Probably catering to the airsoft sniping competitions going on in Hong Kong,Nippon,Taiwan and such,like Mack said. These are definitely not made for skirmishing. But perfect for precision sniping competitions as you can remove any variable from bad ammo to get the best gun possible and thus only be worried about one variable- Your shooting skill. Another option is to use 6mm ceramic ball bearings or even steel ball bearing but those are in the .80 or so region(But ceramics are about .6 something),so .66 is a good enough weight. The price is big but being CNC machined and reusable it sounds like a good option for someone seriously into precision sniping comps,being even more precise than using ceramic ball bearings.

Am I the only one who thinks its a piss take? or are these for real? was thinking this myself... especially as they seem to be out of stock. would be a great thing to have listed on ones homepage to get traffic from curious airsofters 1 Mack reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
