Our club doesn't allow mesh eye protection on the field. We warn others as often as we can. You can't stop people from shooting cheap bb's, but we can stop them from wearing inadequate eye protection.

I believe the general misconception with BBs is people think that high quality BBs don't shatter. This meme seems to be persistent on this forum, and I don't know where this ridiculous notion came from... I fire bag after bag after bag after bag of BBBastard BBs (my reference testing BB) every week during testing and they shatter very willingly, and en masse. Cheap BBs may shatter very easily, but even the highest quality BBs on the market shatter. In thousands, not the occasional "one".
These myths are just going to help someone lose their eye.
