Hello there fellow airsoft snipers!
I have been given the privaledge of reviewing a set of new BBs on the airsoft market by BBKing. My review sample was provided by Ben from No Limit Airsoft. Oh, I'd like to apologize for the image sizes by the way. I felt these would be the right size but alas my guestimations were wrong! ![]() The .32g BBs are available for $9.95 a bag (decent price) for 2500 @ No Limit Airsoft's Store This is a killer deal for the quality of these BBs. What I will be doing is comparing the physical properties of these BBs compared to: ![]() Super Grand Master .-. Bioval .-. Madbull .36 (not pictured) .-. Goldenball .25 ![]() Pictured above, in order from left to right: SGM .29g, Madbull .36g, Bioval .27g, BBKing .32g, Goldenball .25g All four of these BBs will be compared with the following tests: [*]Polish quality [*]Seamlines/external pitting [*]Internal pitting [*]Softness/residue [*]Ability to pass through a 5.98mm barrel ![]() Pictured above, split SGM .29g BB with no pitting. SGM BBs showed a smooth, polished -- but not slick, surface. These BBs are the whitest of white. SGM BBs do not make marks when applied to 100 grit sandpaper. The surface seems perfect from deformities with no visible flaws. Internal quality is excellent. There are ABSOLUTELY no signs of internal pitting or flaws. I would like to make note that these BBs took a good bit of force to break open, which explains why the example shown is in more than two pieces. 10 test rounds passed through my 5.98mm barrel with no issues or markings. ![]() Pictured above, split Madbull .36g BB with prominent pitting. Madbull BBs have a swirly surface. Madbull .36g BBs have a tealish green color that easily marks/rubs off on 100 grit sandpaper. The BBs are polished and slightly slick. There seems to be small micropitting on the external surface every now and then. Surface is seamless. Madbull BBs had the largest in diameter, deepest, internal pits out of all of the BBs. These BBs were also extremely soft and easy to split in half. 10 test rounds passed through my 5.98mm barrel with no issues except noticeable green residue on the inner barrel crowning. The Bioval BBs are clear, perfectly spherical, and glasslike. These BBs have absolutely no air bubbles/internal pitting. Outside surface is as smooth and perfect as glass. These BBs leave no residue. Surface is seamless. These BBs are the hardest BBs I have ever used. I could not break them. You can visibly tell that Bioval BBBMAX BBs are smaller in diameter than the others. 10 test rounds passed through my 5.98mm barrel with no issues or markings. (Note: BBs not pictured) ![]() Pictured above, split BBKing .32g BB with no pitting. The BBKing BBs showed a very smooth surface. There seems to be an ever so slight slickness to these BBs from the polishing process. External pitting on the BB is nonexistent with no visible seams. The BBs are very soft and split in half easily to form two almost perfect halves. There are no visible internal air bubbles/pits. These BBs leave residue after several strokes on 100 grit sandpaper. Whiteness is comparable to Goldenball BBs. 10 test rounds passed through my 5.98mm barrel with no issues except minimal white residue on the inner barrel crowning. BBKing micrometer measurements (10 random BBs picked for measurement) thanks to suprafish: 5.941 mm 5.944 mm 5.946 mm 5.946 mm 5.939 mm 5.938 mm 5.944 mm 5.945 mm 5.946 mm 5.944 mm Avg=5.9433 mm ![]() Pictured above, split Goldenball .25g BB with minimal pitting. I used the Goldenball .25g BBs sort of as a mediocre BB to show as a constant in my experiments. I do not recommend using them in high powered rifles due to their low weight. The Goldenball BBs are very smooth and have a slickness to them. Their polish seems to be a little more than the BBKing BBs. Externally, you will notice that these BBs may have some pitting in maybe 5/20 BBs (better than Madbull). Other than that, there are no noticeable external flaws. Definitely seamless. These BBs were somewhat hard to split but not nearly as hard as SGMs. Very small pitting/air bubbles is found in these BBs. BBs leave residue after a few hard strokes on 100 grit sandpaper. 10 test rounds passed through my 5.98mm barrel with no issues except slight white residue on the inner barrel crowning. ![]() In conclusion, I'd rate the BBKing BBs third best after Bioval and SGM. Through initial testing, I found BBKing BBs to be closer to SGM/Bioval shot consistency rather than Madbull .36g. Even though the BBKing BBs have a slightly lower shot consistency than SGM they still have one higher than Madbull BBs and also are less effected by the wind than SGMs. In a way, you could say that BBKing BBs are a decent-priced, TBB safe, BB that meets in the middle when looking for decent price, least wind resistance, and best consistency overall. I would highly recommend these BBs to any airsoft sniper looking for a good quality and cheap alternative to SGM and Bioval. Oh, by the way, and for the record, I was making 7/10 body shots at 287' the other day using BBKing .32g BBs @ 520 FPS in 5MPH wind. I love these things.
