Customs Seizure - Airsoft BB's

[Dunxy]

Slingshots are illegal in most states, some states allow "pest controllers" that arent slingshots, honestly It can be trivial crap like selling handle and band separate, this was case in vic for couple of years prior to the banning.Technically they arent banned just regulated anyway, legal imported ones get serialized just like a firearm and theres licensing and registration, it would be laughable if it wasn't sad!

A little bird told me as long as its not braced, they can be purchased online and make it through customs.

As for the inert plastic BB's, that's just beyond full retard.Yup id be looking at raw plastic material or theres also these "microspheres" stuff they mix with resin when doing fiberglass(mates a boat builder) that would work well.

Some useful tips there guys. I'll try without any plastic and see what the finish is like.

Just been reading up on powder coating. I am a few years behind. Did you find a suitable pellet or bead?
What powder are you using.?
I see Eastman powders on Ebay

I'm using Eastman direct from PCC.
I never found a need to try plastic, I've only had one instance of less-than-perfect finish and I put that down to handling the bullets beforehand.
But I keep meaning to try the same pellets I use in my shooting bags.

Hey blade try plasticballs.com they should have what ya looking for.

Looks great, now I just need to work out what Airsoft BB's are made from

The ones I use for scenarios at work are compressed chalk. The cheaper ones are plastic.
