How many BB's are lying around...
29 March, 2009, 15:47
Was thinking about this a few days ago..
Ive worked out there must be about 720,000 spent bb's being shot each month! And my sight has been open for a while now.
How many BB's do you reckon are lying round yours?

Re: How many BB's are lying around...
Considering how many 1000's are shot, I'm surprised at most sites the floor is not white. Infact many sites, you can't even see them around without close inspection. They must roll under ground or something.
Sadly most people don't use bio (myself included). For two reasons really:
1) Nobody else does! (A very poor excuse!)
2) They cost 2x the price of a normal bag!

Yeh, shame really... I would use bios, aren't they a bit crappy though? Accuracy wise etc?

Re: How many BB's are lying around...
Bios .... hmm yeah i wonder how long they actually take to break down though? Otherwise they'll just be covered in another layer of mud and dead plantlife, like any other BB.

Re: How many BB's are lying around...
I also noticed that a lot of sites don't seem as covered as you'd expect, except for where someone has dropped a bag, and i must admit i have done that a few times in the past
Used to do so much firing at my old house that it was beginning to look like it had snowed in parts. bbs do still end up following me everywhere, i wont even start a list.
As for bios it depends where i play and if they are available and what gun, i get them when i can, i was prepared to a bulk order from Z1 but they were out of stock at the time. Price and quality are the biggest problem, for urban i never bother.
