for me, i dont see the necessity of players using silica BBs when you already carry a fantastic .28g product already.

For CAPS and other forms of accuracy testing and whatnot, by all means, use silica BBs, but for games standard BBs. SHA DO is right, the density of the silica BBs will transmit more kinetic energy to the target.

Now, instead of BBs breaking on my gun or body, they will either dent my gun or possibly cause more bleeders. Im not complaining about the bleeders, but im just worried about the possible effects.

im sure there is a mathematical equation, but if you were to shoot a .28g regular Bastard at a target at 10ft away, and do the same thing with a silica BB, i think the silica will cause more "damage". That because of the higher density, the end result of being shot with a silica BB would be as if being shot with a regular BB but at higher fps.

Also, wouldn't there be more instances of teeth getting knocked out because of the higher density?

Perhaps that doesn't make any sense, but i hope it does. It is just something that concerns me.

Again im not knocking you Scarecrow. In fact, i applaud you for diversifying the Bastard line. and for target stuff, silica bbs are ideal, but i just dont know about games.
