Ok guys,


I know there is always those people that will ask this question a lot. Not just on this forum, but all over the net. And it is one of the things that really ticks me off. So I figured I would compile as much info as I can get about some different ammo that I personally have used.

I am going to be getting a chrony from my buddy, and will run all the ammo over it to get the standard fps from each brand, and weight. I am planning on using the PWD Mr30 for the power plant for them all. So that will remove one of the factors from the test.

I plan on starting with a few different brands of .2's and go up from there. I have $100 worth of bbs coming here in a few days, and will shoot a few of each over the chorny and see what happens. Because I know there is always a variable between different ammo in the same weight.

I will be measuring the outside diameter, the weight, outside coating ( if any, and if can be washed off ) FPS difference between washed and unwashed, exterior looks, and crush test.

This wont be a test for the accuracy for each one, as each bb will be a little bit different in each rifle.

So check up every so often and I will add more info as I compile it together.

Will see how much it takes to crush them with a vise grip. Measure how many turns of the adjustment knob it will take to crush them.

I have a load of bb's coming from AEX, so I will test those and the many I have here at my house as well.

I am getting a chrony here on Tuesday, as well as getting a digital scale to measure the weights.

I am going to use "x" brand for the base fps of the PWD, and then go from there. I do know that it has a trimmed down 210% spring inside of her. So the fps is going to be up there but nothing to unheard of.

Looking though my ammo I have .20, .23, .25, .27, .28, .30, .36, .38, .40, .43, and .46. I think those are all the correct weights for them all. But like I said, I will be weighing them all as well.

 

[woogie]

I always take the fps as a joke. I will only believe it once I test it myself, and can prove it is at such an FPS.

 

[woogie]

Well I have the chrony, and ran some plain jane .2's over her and she is shooting a very VERY consistant 600 fps.

So a little bit high, but nothing that can't be fixed.

More testing will happen tomorrow or thursday.

 

[woogie]

That is correct.

Will grab a scale from work tomorrow, and get some weights on the ammo I have.

 

[woogie]

I have all of the items...... will be doing the testing here this weekend!

 

[woogie]

My wife is compiling all of the numbers right now....

And instead of pulling out my PWD, I used my shotty....... and dang that thing is really consistent.

Averages...... 10 shots were put across the pro chrony.

P-Force .20g's - 372.67 fps
Airsoft Elite .20g's - 371.4 fps
GoldenBall .23g's - 355.7 fps
Green .25g's - 346.03 fps (unknown brand, have had for a while now)
Bioval .27g's - ????? Chrono wasn't able to see them
Javelin .28 g's - 324.779 fps
javelin .30 g's - 317.83 fps
Bioval .40 g's - 275.35 fps
Madbull .40 g's - 272.23 fps
Javelin .43 g's - 270.06 fps

Will get the scale here in a day or two, and will pull some weights out of the lot of ammo.

The reason why some of the same weight ammo is the same color, is due to the materials that are used to make the bbs that density. And due to the minimal amount of materials that are currently used, they are the same color. But I have read reports that say they are in fact different ammo.

 

[woogie]

I can see what I can do.... but not sure if I have the funds for that at the moment.

If people want to send me like 20-30 bbs I can test them all and compile the data for them.

 

[woogie]

That would be great guys.

As long as they don't get crushed in the mail they should be fine.

Pm me and I can get you my addy, and I can compile all the data and put it on one thread. May have to get some parts, and make a "test rig" so I don't have to worry about the shotgun going out on me.

 

[woogie]

Pm's have been sent to you fellows.

When you send them, just let me know which ammo is what. The weight and all of that stuff as well.

When I compile all the data I will make a spot for all of your names, and what ammo you donated to the test.

 

[woogie]

If people wanted to do that I would be more than happy to do that for you guys.

Though my testing times right now are on hold.... I was activated to do flood duty, yet again for my state. So I am sitting here in the states capital getting treated like crap.

Though as soon as I am back home I will get to testing as much as I can.

 

[woogie]

I will compair all that I am sent guys.

Just get them to me and I will do some testing with them. Though like I said, it may be a few weeks, untill I am able to do the tests again. But when I get home I will test them pronto for you guys!

 

[woogie]

MEH...... I will just get outside and get in my MOP gear. Open it up and run around the block.

 

[woogie]

????

 

[woogie]

Ok well I got three letters in the mail with some ammo in them.

I know who one of them is from, thanks for the pink paper by the way But the other two I have no idea who they are from. The bb's are in baggies with some duct tape holding them close. But there was nothing else inside, so I am unsure what ammo it is, as well as who they are from.

So if you can tell me who you are, and what type of ammo you sent me it would be great.

 

[woogie]

Ahhh, figured it was you.... but wasn't sure

I will get the testing done here tomorrow I hope.

Thanks again guys for the added ammo.

 

[woogie]

Not as of yet..... it has been raining up here, and I really don't want to get my buddies chrony all wet.

It looks like it should be nice out tonight, so after work today I will crunch some numbers!

 

[woogie]

Ok guys added more info to the rest of the pics..

And thank you guys for sending me the ammo. If anyone sends me more I can add more info.
