LOL :razz:

lmao@ the picture and the whole thread. Some one desperately needs to actually test this shit out in a sniper rifle and see if it works or not.

wow i can't believe this guy thought he was going to be banned

The_Conman · May 15th, 2006, 20:29

Lol, thats good!

I tried those mints in one of my springers.... had a bust, but I cleared it out with a bb and then tried it on a Dart board, it also left that minty clean smell.

Shinjin_MC · May 15th, 2006, 20:32

I did a small accuracy test:
5 shots fired standing each with :
0.25g excel; hopup set for ~50+ feet
and the mints(approx 0.1125g); hopup off
done at 18 feet, no wind against a cardboard backstop
groupings measured center to center
5.1" Hi-Capa using a 4.3" magazine
TK twist barrel
150% hammer/recoil spring
lots o' shooter's design metal parts

3 of the mints failed to explode on contact

overall group: 100mm
smallest group: 19mm

compared to the excels

overall group: 33mm
smallest group: 11mm

btw, for those of you who say that the TK barrel doesnt work:
this is the stock barrel, same conditions as the TK twist

Where can you buy these? I looked in 5 different stores today, and couldn't find them...guess that's the downside to living in a small town. I was able to find the solid (certs-like) ones, but I don't want to eat them, I want to shoot them!

tsuru · May 27th, 2006, 16:42

My brother picked up some of the Frisk ones (They are much closer to 6mm than the other brand) at 7-11. I'm going to give them a shot in my VSR-10 (440FPS w/ 0.20g) after this weekend's OP. I don't really want my barrel to smell minty out in the field.

[Lithium] · June 7th, 2006, 13:08

Only been a week, hopefully no body gts to mad im bringing this back up. Another idea for these mints, would be using them as tracers.. like, in the real wrold phosphorus coated bullets i believe are whats used for tracers in machine guns, but if you dontwanna use the g&p tracer mag, or tm tracer unit you can use these. theyre a different color, may stand out.. maybe not as well as night as in day however, and ice breakers arent quite 6mm, so.. i was thinking bright orange spay paint to coat them? it would make them a bit bigger, but stand out more as well.

Try Hasty Market corner store if you guys have one of those. I have found them there for $1.99 awhile back

Moderate · June 7th, 2006, 14:05

Thanks, I forgot to check one place (convenience store). I'll drop by their this afternoon and see if they have any Frisk or Ice breakers. :cheers:

quikstrike · June 7th, 2006, 14:23

Yeah me and tinshnipz we bought some at a hasty mart but i tried them in my m9 and you have to mussle load it. lol. And you cant tilt it down past a 90 degree angle. They dont break either.

You can do it via mag but when the slide moves forward to put one into the chamber it flies out.

What about-

"Score it in my mouth!"

"OW OW OWW OH GOD CALL AN AMBULANCE- ooh, minty fresh. Tasty."

Man, all these people that want to know the weight, but no one that can READ :lol:

It clearly says, 30 mints, 1.8g. Which makes each of them 0.06g. That doesnt sound right however, and I highly doubt they'd be 1.8g each. I have an electronic scale, so maybe I'll pick up some of these after work.

I think 1.8g is the NET weight, ie: packaging included.

[Lithium] · June 8th, 2006, 02:36

maybe, but even then.. the actual mints would be less then 0.06 each.. doesnt sound like that can be right to me too.
