I had the oppurtunity awhile ago to use and review the Stealth .25 gram Green BB's. If you like you can read that review I did on those BB's, and you'll find that the only real problem I had, was the color...
Well here you go, they now have produced a white version of the BB's, which will make it a much more convenient buy for airsofters out there. The reason the green color is so disliked (anything other than white is disliked) is because they are hard to follow when you are shooting. Of course any airsofter out there understands the importance of being able to see your shots. Most importantly, you need to know where you are missing while firing, so you can adjust your aim. You also need to see if you're hitting someone (especially for the people who won't call a hit until they hear "Did I hit you?"). The dark green color they chose could not have been worse for your average airsofter. Since most people play in a wooded, green environment, the green BB's cause a lot of problems.
The color not being white is not a bad thing for everyone. It was brought to my attention by an Alaskan (Mitchkitter) that they like the inertia black BB's for snow battles since they can see them, and can't see the white ones. So there is a market out there in the northern United States, or Canada. Since I know a lot of people like to play snow games when it snows, it may not be a bad idea to get an off color BB's when winter starts so you can use it for the snow. But if you have a tight bore barrel, you may not be in luck. I have heard that they do not work as well in tight bore barrels, but I don't have personal experience. Just thought I would mention it. But after going through both green, and white stealth .25 gram BBs, I had not a single problem in my stock barreled guns.
The Build
After looking over the BB's, I have found no flaws in the design. All were very smooth and sleak, and perform like wise. They are just as smooth as my Airsoft Elite, and Excel BB's, that I had at the time to compare to. After shooting against walls and such they performed quite well, and were very difficult to break. The color is the same white as the others (just plain white) and were just as easy to pick off coming out of the gun, as any of ther other BB's out there.
The Performance
Well I was very impressed with the BB's. I used them in a skirmish where it was half raining, kind of windy at times so it was a good testing ground for the accuracy. The accuracy was amazing. I felt like I had my M16a2's accuracy, but I was using at the time my M733. They were pretty dead on accurate, and never had any kind of curve or anything the whole skirmish, despite the winds. There however is a downfall as you all know to using a heavier BB, and that is the lower FPS. Its enough to notice, but it is not signifficant, the BB's are still going pretty fast. The speed never hurt me in my skirmish, but I do know that in some situations it could...
A situation I could think of that it would hurt you is when someone is running full speed, in the open. You would have to lead him more than usual, and you may not have the time to adjust. But once you get used to using them, they'll be like any BB.
The Price
The price is perhaps the best thing this product has. I got mine from Blazing Toys, and their price for a 5000 BB bag is only $17.50. Now compared to other .25 gram BB's, this is quite a good price. Tokyo Marui bags which sell for $15, and only hold 2000 .25 gram BBs, don't even come close to the value. $2.50 more will get you 3000 more BB's and in my opinion of the same quality. Then Excel BB's which sell for $15 hold 2200 rounds, add $2.50 you get 2800 more. The closest value is Airsoft Elite. They sell 3000 per bag, and so they come with in 2000 BB's. Its not too hard to figure out which one is the best value, and at the price, it is at the very least worth your $17.50 to test these BB's out.
(Price comparisons are a little less than regular prices for those BB products, and some stores may sell for less, or more)
Conclusion
I really love this product. This is a great price for .25 gram BB's and those who use .25 gram BB's should at least test them to see if they like them. This also opens the door for people who would use .25 gram BB's, but the only problem is the price. The 5000 BBs for $17.50 compares to the .20 gram BB prices! I highly reccomend anyone to try these out, even if you do have a tight bore barrel (don't know how they perform). The worst that could happen is that they won't work in that gun, and you could use them for a GBB or something. The best that could happen is you save money everytime you buy BB's!
You can buy from the Blazing Toy's Accessory Section (www.blazingtoys.com).
