Just out of interest for anybody in the UK (or out), does anybody have any experience with the heavyweight in-house bb's Zero-One make and whether they need washing?

Avoid avoid avoid.

The 0.2's left a nasty residue inside some of my friends AEG's. We threw away the rest after they gummed up someone's gun.

Wouldn't expect the heavier ones to be any good.

Do you think washing would've helped out any, or was it just that bad?

Well i've snooped around a bit and have gathered that Zero One bb's ARE the cheapest bb you can buy in the UK being around £6.00 for 5000 0.20g bb's. Another fact I found is hat they are also meant to be very good bb's. Whether they would be better washed or your friend just got a bad batch? The bb sizes are 5.95mm so if your friend had a 6.01 TBB then jamming would be realistic in an AEG.

There was also white stuff building up in the barrel and hop.

Not something I would want in a sniper rifle.

Yes they are the cheapest. Do you want to buy the CHEAPEST though? For sniper rifles you want quality and consistency.

I personally had no real problems with them. But I wouldn't risk it...

Fair points there Lightbulb, it seems to me like the general opinion is them seems to be like marmite; people either love them or they hate them compared to their first experiences with them..

Like I say they caused me no problems and they are cheap.

But you're not firing 3000 per day. Your doing hundreds at most (assuming a bolt action). So you can afford to buy quality no?

I barely fire 100 from my Cheytac.. Was just wondering for my AEG that was all.
