Default Airsoft tankers take a look!

Now they make biodegradable marking BB's that shoot just like normal BB's but leave behind a colored mark....they come in orange and white so now you should be able to have some cool airsoft tank battles!

Shenlonco,

I've have purchase these about a month ago. I can't speak for others, but they don't work. Me and a friend shot these things around the inside my garage for an hour with a Paner III and a Pershing.
The onyl mark we find was on peice of cardboard we used as a barrier, and I know for a fact I hit his tank a couple of times, but no mark. They might have better result with a higher power airsoft gun, but don't think you would want to shooting each others tanks then. They are a great idea, if they only worked better.

You guy's using stock HL guns? I bet they would work with the VS tank guns as they shoot 2 times or more harder than the stock HL guns that are in 100% perfect working order if you can get one that good very rare.

Yes, we had stock HL airsoft. I did try griding one with my heel in the pavement and did not see much of a mark. You could give them a try you might have better luck.

I got the 2200 rounds for $12.00, so it was't a terrble waste, they are a better wieght then the plastic was that come with the tanks.

I only use the biodegradable ones from www.cybergun.com  they come in white.  They don't leave a mark but I like not having thousands of plastic BB's all over my forest.  They take about a year to degrade in my climate.<div>
</div><div>One of my concerns with airsoft BB's on both my land and on public land is the litter factor.  If I am honest with myself I must admit that the 5000 BB's I shoot a year are litter and should be biodegradable OR I feel compelled to pick them up before I go home.  Having spent time picking up hundreds of airsoft BB's I'm sold on the biodegradable ones.  They shoot OK and I can leave them where the land without worry about littering.</div><div>

Wal Mart carries the complete selection of biodegradeable, paint-ball, marking as well as the glow-in-the-dark ones. </p>

I wouldn't imagine they would leave much of a mark with the stock HL gun. Especially at .20g. That's even a bit much for the VS guns but as Shen pointed out, they are much more powerful than the HL stock guns.

Would be interesting to see how they perform in the vS guns

I agree with you but the cyber gun bb's are not truly 100% biodegradable.
Bioval biotech bbs are 100% bio
Bioshot are 100% bio
P force are 100% bio
