I'm not sure how broken car windows is "unfounded", Brian. We have that as a factual event. All we've gotten so far in response to it is spindoctoring from Bioval, so I do believe testing is necessary.

I mean here's the community that went ballistic over a video of a few kids trespassing in an abandoned facility: for their irresponsible actions and potential for giving the sport a bad image they got a lifelong ban, calls for their AV status to be revoked and some wanted to turn their identities over to law enforcement. Yet here we have BBs that were shown to have caused serious damage at one event, were tested and shown to be dangerous by at least one source, they could potentiality cause more injuries than regular BBs, yet only a handful of people here seem to think its irresponsible to allow these on fields without proper testing and in fact most people seem quite cavalier about it as long as they gain some small edge in range or accuracy.

If they're so safe, why is it so hard to get someone to do proper unbiased testing? (Pus seems on the right track, but needs >350fps guns)
