RebelScum Posted September 8, 2023 Posted September 8, 2023 (edited) Given there appears to definitely be an issue with buying Geoffs BBs at the moment (sold out in a lot a weights for months now), two questions. Any idea why that might be? And secondly what would be a good substitute for 0.3g or 0.32g bbs, given this brand is all I've used for a number of years? Similar quality and price range? Thanks. Edited September 8, 2023 by RebelScum I can't spell...
EvilMonkee Posted September 8, 2023 Posted September 8, 2023 G&G are excellent and either them or Geoffs is all I feed my GBBRs.
Impulse Posted September 8, 2023 Posted September 8, 2023 BLS and Longbow. Also ASG Blasters are okay at those weights too.
RostokMcSpoons Posted September 8, 2023 Posted September 8, 2023 Warhead have worked perfectly for me, I bought 10kg of 0.28s, nearly got through all them now without any getting jammed in the barrel
Chev Chelios Posted September 8, 2023 Posted September 8, 2023 Tried BZ Tactical Rebel BBs in .32 and .36. They have ran flawlessly in my two guns that are fussy. GHK & GBLS M4s. I am convert.
SSPKali Posted September 9, 2023 Posted September 9, 2023 Geoffs 0.32g gave the best groupings in my testing with the MWS but since they have been so scarce I gave Warhead 0.32g a try - similar grouping (thumbnail sized at 10m) so I grabbed a kilo of them and I have been happy with them. Zero splits or misfeeds. The 0.28g are the favourite food for the TM M733 AEG and give better results than Longbow, Geoffs and Guarder.
Fatboy40 Posted September 9, 2023 Posted September 9, 2023 I've looked in the past but is it still the case that Geoff's has no website of their own and no method for contacting them?
C-Diddy Posted September 9, 2023 Posted September 9, 2023 I generally use ASG Open Blasters in .28 for AEG and .32 in MWS. Have to say Geoffs were also my go to, so appreciate the alternatives being mentioned here. May try BLS and Warhead.
Speedy Sloth Posted September 10, 2023 Posted September 10, 2023 For any weights that are supplied in the traditional 3300 bottle size ASG always seem reliable I find. Heard good things about the ASG AI heavyweights but never tried them personally.
Duff Beer Posted September 10, 2023 Posted September 10, 2023 Warhead’s are consistent in my experience. I use the 0.25’s and 0.28’s and they group well and don’t surprise me. I assume their other weights would be just as good

I'm putting it down to impact damage from running around in an Odin on my plate carrier.
C-Diddy Posted September 10, 2023 Posted September 10, 2023 Have you got the silicon insert for your Odin @Dan Robinson?

I bought an Odin for the boy, and when it arrived it was without the insert that mine came with. As far as I can make out, the EMG branded Odins include it, and the Odin branded don't. Anyway, may save BBs from getting a battering and is quiet for sure. Back to the original topic, I think a range of Warhead BBs may be in the shopping cart later this week Edited September 20, 2023 by C-Diddy Dan Robinson 1

I might invest as my "Odd'un" works quite well, but when it's hundreds of BB's + some spare space, it really does make a helluva noise doesn't it?
JVacation Posted September 11, 2023 Posted September 11, 2023 0.4s seem like a bit of a nightmare to get at the moment for a reasonable price. It's a real pain that I can't seem to find kilo bags of 0.4s but instead packs of 1000.
