FAQ:
Yes, some air BB guns are biodegradable. These BBs are designed to naturally decompose over time, making them an environmentally friendly choice for outdoor airgun play. They are typically made from materials such as polylactic acid (PLA) and are formulated to degrade in various environmental conditions. However, the rate of biodegradation can vary depending on factors such as humidity, temperature and exposure to sunlight. Players interested in minimizing their environmental impact often choose biodegradable BBs, especially outdoors, to reduce the accumulation of plastic waste. Also remember that BIO BBs must have proof of true biodegradability.
Air BB guns are usually made from biodegradable or non-biodegradable plastic materials. Non-biodegradable BBs are the most common and are often made of materials such as acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS) or other types of plastics. Biodegradable BBs are designed to break down over time and are typically made from materials such as polylactic acid (PLA). The choice between biodegradable and non-biodegradable BBs depends on personal preference and environmental parameters.
Airsoft BBs, especially non-biodegradable ones, can have a negative impact on the environment if not managed properly. If these small plastic pellets are not biodegradable, they can therefore accumulate in outdoor play areas, causing litter and potential harm to wildlife. To reduce environmental impact, opt for biodegradable BBs, which break down over time. However, even biodegradable BBs can take time to break down, so it is important to use them responsibly.
No! There are two main reasons for this. First, the impact the BB suffered may have damaged it, which can lead to it breaking inside your replica, damaging its internals. Second, even if the BB is not damaged, it brings dust and debris into your barrel, which can cause jams and malfunctions. In short, saving a few minutes from reusing BBs can turn out to be much more expensive.
Joule creep refers to a phenomenon where heavier BBs retain more energy (measured in Joules) than lighter ones when fired from the same airgun, leading to an increase in muzzle energy without a corresponding increase in FPS ( Feet per Second). This is because heavy BBs stay longer in the barrel, allowing more energy transfer from the compressed air or gas that propels them. As a result, despite firing at similar or lower FPS compared to lighter BBs, heavy BBs hit with more force, potentially exceeding field energy limits and compromising safety.
