So, what is the policy, as of this moment? I see a lot of discussion, but it's tough to debate a moving goal post.

Only one this I ask for is that Rick make sure you get the bb's in good ammo bags. I got some from you over the summer that came in the black plastic bags and they all ripped open. I had to put the bb's in other plastics bags, including one unmarked bag which is going to suck with this new policy, since I can't really use those bb's now until I can use up the ones in my bio marked bag. I like those blue bagged one's you used to sell.


I have had the same issue. I just got a bag from Zergling that he bought from you and in the first game the bag ripped open. I have a couple of the blue bags that I use to hold batteries and such and they've not ripped at all.


Otherwise, I don't see much of an issue with this. I tend to use up a 4K bag in two games. They can easily be used in between games at that particular field.

the black bags are no longer in use. I ended up throwing away 700 out of the 1000 bags I had ordered after I discovered the breakage issues which at first were not an issue.The blue bags will not be returning-very expensive.

Instead I will be using a 4mil zip seal bag that I had used years ago with no breakage issues since we will have to inspect the bags at every game. Blue bags would make it more of a hassle.

Whatever works. It wasn't an real issue since I'd just dump the BBs into a sandwich bag or something.

Those old blue bags are practically bombproof, I still use them to carry random odds and ends.

I think that honestly, more field checks are warranted. Like, guy walking back to the deadpool, admin comes up, "hey, let me see the mag in your gun." Pop out a few bb's and look. BIO bb's are not a glistening, pure white color, they are an off white, gray, etc etc color, and have a distinctive matte finish.

True for some brands, but not for all.

I've got a couple thousand of the old rounds Rick used to sell that are bright white, and next to them I have some more BBs (also from Rick) that are a dull white/grey color. You can't tell weather it's bio based on color alone, unless it's very blatant like yellow .12s or something.

You can tell if they are bio by popping them in your mouth for about 30 seconds. They will taste like popcorn.

Maybe that depends on the weather?

Is this still an ongoing thread? The field says that this is how it's going to be. If you like playing there, we'll have to play by their rules. Rick, just get the BB's that are dyed and then require those. My only real concern is for the bolt-turners. You might still want to talk to the field owner about them. The 200 BB's that all the bolters use in a day isn't really a problem, really.

Plastic is plastic. If a farm doesn't want plastic going into the ground period, that is their prerogative.

And I have my serious doubts about goldenball's BIO's but that's for another thread. Point being, you can tell.
