Golden Ball BB Quality Testing
We had never heard of Golden Ball BB’s and definitely had never used or seen them in action before this test. So in an effort to make sure that we only have products we stand behind, we conducted this BB test to test the quality and consistency of the Golden Ball BB against some of its main competition. The test was conducted in an indoor and controlled environment to keep everything as even as possible at the ranges of 15, 25 and 35 meters. Below is a picture of the range set up used for the tests.
All shooting was done with 2 AEG’s, one Marui G3SG1 shooting 405fps with a 6.04 inner barrel and a Marui SR16 shooting 370fps with a 509mm 6.04 inner barrel. Each type and brand of BB was shot 10 times (semi-auto) at each range with marking of shots after each round of 10. Hop-ups and sights were set before test at 35m with Green Devil BB’s and not adjusted there after. Below you will see a picture of the BB’s used for the test.
To help with clarity we circled the groupings and have added a transparent color over lay. If one of the 10 shots was way out side the rest of the grouping it was omitted from the circle and written off as hop-up malfunction. Below is a legend for reference.
NOTE: For sizing reference the rings on the targets are 25.4mm or 1 inch apart.
