Talk:Airsoft pellets

message: Looking at the section on dangers to humans it talks about potential to pierce the skin, but doesn't say anything about shock effect, on the head for example. Objects don't have to penetrate the skull to cause brain damage. Some of the dangers mentioned seem a little cherry picked, that's all.   —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.41.149.177 (talk) 16:09, 23 October 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: It's very unlikely that such a tiny pellet would cause any major internal damage. Further to this, there is no proven evidence that any injury of this sort has ever occured. RWJP (talk) 00:15, 24 October 2009 (UTC)

message: Someone should do the calculations for the rate which a bbs slows and the perspective velocities at diffrent distances using regular FPS limits in order to best make engagement distances in reguard to force impacting the opposing player as opposed to muzzle velocity.

message: Quote: "clear reds that were bleached by [[the sun]. Only 28 were found in Santee."
 
This seems like a remnant of something else. Because who was looking, and for what? They supposedly found 28 in Santee, but what relevance that has to any other part of the page certainly escapes me.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 77.246.204.68 (talk) 09:28, 7 October 2021 (UTC)

thread_title:  Unreferenced Information 

message: The article currently states that hop-up doesn't improve horisntal accuracy. It actually does. Without hop up, the bbs leaving the barrel tend to tumble in an unpredictable way, while with hop-up the spin is consistent with each shot, leading to improved accuracy.

replies: text: The hop-up does increase accuracy because it allows the bb to travel the same distance every time. Accuracy really depends more on the length of the barrel and if there is a lot of wind where you are playing. Generally, the longer the barrel, the more accurate, because the bb stays going in a straight path for a longer period of time.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Innocent3d (talk • contribs) 05:32, 3 June 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  Hop-Up and accuracy 

message: It seems kind of weird that the one picture of bbs is of really crappy ones. Could anyone possibly find a suitable image that fits all the copyright regulations? It would sure make the article look a lot better. Sorry I don't have an account, I just thought this was worth mentioning.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.149.234.80 (talk) 20:42, 2 November 2009 (UTC)
