Not sure if this was posted before but it's an exhaustive study of airsoft ballistics, nicely done and proof if any was needed that airsoft BBs are a terrible choice of ballistic projectile

We all knew that one but there's (arguably) no better choice for recreation because of their low cost. And the fact that you can easily take advantage of the Magnus effect to get respectable ranges from such a low velocity (aka safe) projectile. Plus simple loading mechanisms and such...jackssmirkingrevenge wrote:proof if any was needed that airsoft BBs are a terrible choice of ballistic projectile

Yup, otherwise range and wind estimation would have to be perfect.dungdue0 wrote:Really shows the importance of the hop-up.
Definitely, not arguing with that - but if you're plinking, certainly one of the worst choices.We all knew that one but there's (arguably) no better choice for recreation because of their low cost.

Isn't plinking just field shooting a bulk amount of ammo? If so that seems to be the cheapest decently good ammo to waste.jackssmirkingrevenge wrote:Yup, otherwise range and wind estimation would have to be perfect.dungdue0 wrote:Really shows the importance of the hop-up.
