You can also reuse your BBs after target practice by building a thickly padded target box to catch BBs. This can be done with little more than a thick pillow, a cardboard box, and a paper target to cover the opening of the box.
As you shoot through the target, the pillow cushions and slows the BBs, which remain trapped inside the box for easy collection. Some indoor arenas use old BBs to fill sandbags. After sweeping up the arena, old BBs are emptied into sacks, which can be used to build cover and obstacles—a great way to keep BBs out of the trash while also saving airsoft guns! Most outdoor ranges already require you to use biodegradable BBs to play, which is great!
While reusing BBs can seem like a great solution, be careful about how you choose to go about it. Your gun will thank you. Have a favorite brand of biodegradable BBs? What about a hookup for low-cost BBs? It says that BBs break down within days. His may be inside but they have a lot of time on them. In direct sunlight with moisture. As long as they are stored in a cool, dry, darkened area, they should be fine. They can crack or shatter when reused causing damage to your magazine and or gun.
But a BB from a Airsoft that fires fps and hits naked skin can hurt quite a bit as well. Paintball tends to leave more of a bruising pain while airsoft is more of a stinging pain. Soon, you will see the whole set of reasons why it is a terrible idea to reuse the BBs, but I will also mention one specific case when it actually may be a smart idea.
Whenever you eject the BB out of a gun there is a decent possibility that it got damaged and once the BB lands it may also get exposed to the dirt or similar stuff you do not want to put back into your precious airsoft replica. Some people may argue and say that a BB does not shatter very often, but it depends at what FPS it was shot through and where did it land.
There is a reason why you should even put in the trash the BBs they give you in a package with an airsoft gun. They are poorly manufactured and are there for some mandatory manufacturing policies, but no one should ever use them.
BBs may take up to a few years to decompose, but there are biodegradable BBs that are made for faster decomposition and although not fully decomposed, they will lose the performance after a month in a mud.
If you have by chance picked one of such decomposing bio BBs there would be a solid chance that they could shatter within the gun which means the big issue because now you have to worry about not taking out a single piece, but rather a whole set of small plastic fragments. Definitely, not a nice thing to experience and how can you tell apart a standard plastic BB from the biodegradable one? If you have an expensive and quality replica that you are proud of, the last thing you should think of is being cheap on the BBs.
Both, the gun and the magazine can jam, although the gun jams are more often a thing that is also more serious and it happens as a result of a dirty or damaged BB being used. Even a BB with a little dent can cause major damage to your Airsoft replica. So why would you take the risk? Because you want to save some money on BBs? Anyway, you probably spent a hundred or two hundred dollar on your Airsoft replica. And now you decide to reuse BBs. What will happen is this.
If you get one BB that flat and jams up, you will get everything jammed up in the replica and ruined your replica. Besides that, most of you Airsofters doing Skirmishes and shooting at long range. When shooting at each other or shooting targets at long range, you want to be accurate right? But how can you be accurate when you reuse plastic BBs that are definitely deformed or chattered? It just not going to happen. Your risk them breaking in the magazine or in your gearbox.
This can easily cause jam and damage to your hop-up system as well as the inner barrel. Is it 0. And second, if you decide to pick up BBs from the ground, you risk to also pick up additional dirt and debris. When putting those BBs back in your magazine it will take the dirt and debris further into your Airsoft replica. This will definitely helps to cause jams and problems between your magazine and inner barrel.
