Cromulon1994 Posted February 17, 2020 Share Posted February 17, 2020 I've had issues with a gas m870, so much so I sent it back under warranty. Jamming, misfeeding and eventually it locked up. However, h8r revolver "magazines" need to be loaded by hand, and I've noticed this bottle of blaster 0.25s has a lot of mis shaped bbs. First noticed when some wouldn't sit properly (or at all) in the relatively tight tolerances of the magazine. I originally poured around 12 or so out, I have "rejected" 5. Some have nipples and some have indents, one isn't even spherical. Couple of photos to prove. Cameras not great but thought it would provide a bit of clarification.

Steveocee Posted February 17, 2020 Share Posted February 17, 2020 Need some better photos of your nipples but yeah, even if you're using 2s or .25s it's always worth buying the best you can. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

E21A Posted February 17, 2020 Share Posted February 17, 2020 Interesting. I did notice regular blasters seemed to disappear for a while then return in new design bottles. Maybe they’ve switched manufacturers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philby21 Posted February 17, 2020 Share Posted February 17, 2020 I've gone through a few of the new bottles of 0.25s and haven't had any issues but I've been out of the game for quite a few months (broken ribs last September, then too much other "life" getting in the way), if this is their new quality standards then I'm going to be changing my usual ammo! Anyone got any suggestions? I've got a bag of 0.3 Geoffs to try but I doubt my bank balance (or wife!) would be too happy about me running them permanently!

Supporters Rogerborg Posted February 17, 2020 Supporters Share Posted February 17, 2020 I believe that Blasters had a bad batch several years back, then sorted it out, but recently they seem to be back to being shitty and shattering again. Who do they think they are, Nuprol? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EvilMonkee Posted February 17, 2020 Share Posted February 17, 2020 G&G always or Geoffs, but my GHK doesnt like them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supporters Sitting Duck Posted February 17, 2020 Supporters Share Posted February 17, 2020 Egg BB's ??? I got a MadBull Python mofo barrel that is tighter than a nun's c...... (it is extremely tight) Grab half a dozen BB's and drop them through that barrel very few drop through that bastid barrel only G&G's dropped through it without jamming ergo - G&G's are a pretty safe bet imho I might just rename the MadBull & call it Bob Marley like the Office/Network Printer... but it is a good BB/Egg test barrel I've found Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair, Geoffs from outdoortactical don't work out "that" much more. this is true, they're surprisingly economical given it's the premium stuff. i normally run their .32's and it works out cheaper than .3's from the local brick and mortar. admittedly the problem with geoff's is the desire to run the heavies, then that doesn't get cheap.....

BigStew Posted February 18, 2020 Share Posted February 18, 2020 Blasters have been banned at section 8 for a while now we had issues with them shattering. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlphaBear Posted March 1, 2020 Share Posted March 1, 2020 Chaps Reading this, one is to avoid Nuprol and ASG Devil Blasters and Ares Amoeba? It seems you guys generally swear on Geoff's or G&G Armament PSBP? Are there any other reliable brands or are these two it? Also, for an AEG shooting at 340fps would you recommend 0.28's or 0.30's for outdoors? Geoffs do Super Precision and Precision I presume the SP is better than the P for woodland or does it not really matter? ta.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mightyjebus Posted March 1, 2020 Share Posted March 1, 2020 any BB made by Tokyo Marui (if you can find them) are excellent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlphaBear Posted March 1, 2020 Share Posted March 1, 2020 Is there an alternative to Geoff's that's s tad cheaper... the 0.3 are £13.49 for 3000 plus post on top of course.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kasaran Posted March 1, 2020 Share Posted March 1, 2020 Had a few bottles of open blasters cause feeding issues. My tm 14 would just stop feeding completely and the m16 would occasionally fire the odd lemon dropping after 10m. Think i might switch to the g&g bios.

ghostwalker Posted March 1, 2020 Share Posted March 1, 2020 Never had any issues with geoffs or the asg cursed bb’s. tried Valken and they were horrible. Used rockets but they seem to go a hit and miss in quality. For a while swore by ‘the draft club’ but they went really bad with misshaped and oversize bb’s especially in their .25’s and .28’s.

Solly4568 Posted March 1, 2020 Share Posted March 1, 2020 I have used the ASG cursed for years now and their .25s are constantly brilliant. For anything heaver than that however I use Ares Amoeba Diamond which also have never had a problem with in the year or so that I have been using them for. I would highly recommend both.

Steveocee Posted March 1, 2020 Share Posted March 1, 2020 Curse of the ASG blasters today, shot, shot, flyer until changing to Geoff's where it was consistent shots. They're probably fine for cqb max distance 30M but nothing more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
