Well I decided to against my regular BB choice, excel, and get some Airsoft Elite BB's. I had heard quite a bit well about the BB's so I really wasn't worried when getting them, and chose them without hesitation from The 6mm Shop. Well they came in a nicely closed, and small bag. I was happy to see that fact that the bag actually reflected the amount of bb's inside. They hold 3,750 more then the other main companies, and come in a bag half the size. It's nice to see someone doesn't have to make the bag bigger, to make it look like it holds more. Definitely a good first impression on me. Also, since when first coming into the mainstream airsoft world, from springers, I knew how bad ammo could be, and decided that I would not buy anything other then Marui and Excel. Well no one has to ever consider this anymore; I would say that the Airsoft Elite BB's are equal if not better!

Well I had a couple hundred excel BB's left over from my other bag, so I decided to mix them for the battle. Mainly because I had to, but it worked out to be a perfect test for the Airsoft Elite BB's. Threw the skirmishing, I honestly forgot all about the fact I was using different BB's. Which is good, so now I realize, it was because the difference between the two BB's were none, or VERY little. I was able to go about three skirmishes performing like I usually do, with accuracy which was better if not the same as Excel. Range did not differ in anyway, and I would have a great deal of trouble deciding which BB was which coming out the gun. I have this tree/bush about 80-90 feet away, which I always adjust my hop-up against, since the BB's are easy to see, and it’s a good skirmishing distance. Well knowing what happens with the Excel BB's every time I shoot there, the Airsoft Elites did the same, including sticking together quite well in full auto bursts.

After examining the BB's I found zero faults in the BB's and have not seen any evidence of shatter from the BB's, even when trying to shatter them. No jams thus far, which is a very good sign, since that is a big sign to a poorly manufactured BB. I have only had one BB jam with excel, and I believe it was partly due to oiling the barrel. So I have yet to see a single problem. All my skirmishes went much like every other skirmish I have had, and I cannot ask for more, since everything has been performing pretty well.

Well I was not the only one to try these BB's out. I gave them to a teammate as well since he did not have any BBs. No complaints, no jams, and accuracy as good as ever in his gun. After seeing both the BB's come out of his AUG and my M16, they were very consistent, which I believe is of great importance, since its very easy to adjust to a curving BB if it curves the same every time. But a gun shooting inconsistently results in accuracy disaster since it’s the luck of the draw, which way your BB goes.

In conclusion, these BBs are great. I have yet to see a BB brand clearly beat this brand of BB's, and would recommend them. They are sold cheaper then most other BB's and come with more then Excel (3700) and Tokyo Marui (3500). Also with 'La Puente, CA USA' printed on the bottom of the bag, it may mean made in the USA, and we already know that Airsoft Elite is in the USA. I love to support USA airsoft companies when I can because it is possible it could lead to more advantages for the US airsofters. < Well I recommend at least trying them, and letting everyone know your own personal opinions.
