Airsoft
« on: May 25, 2009, 11:10:06 PM »
  I was watching some videos tonight and wondered if the pellets biodegrade. I thought they were plastic. If they are plastic I havent heard any stink over the huge amounts that must be dumped in the woods. Curious.

Most say "Biodegradable" on the package but I don't see them biodegrading in my lifetime.
I used to play in my woods with some pals over 3 years ago.
They look just like they came out of the bag, dirtier of course but still shaped the same.

You can buy pellets that are specifically made to be biodegradable.  They cost a little more but don't lie around the yard for years on end.

Most airsoft clubs require you to only use biodegradable pellets.
