No unfortunaely its NOT. Common Misconception, let me clarify. BB is a size of Shot. B sized shot and BBB (no correlation) sized shot was available as well for a time. B being the largest, roughly 6mm, BB being 4.5mm and BBB being 3.5 (i think) The first B,BB,and BBB sized shot came about after shotguns became more standard. The first B,BB,and BBB sized shot was also made of lead.
I tought a BB gun course at a local summer camp for youth (ages 8-10) and part of the requirements to pass was a long history lesson on BB guns.
Linky for proof!The site above confirms my statements.
I've oftened wondered how long it takes for Airsoft BB's to biodegrade. If these are of any quality (of course pending review) I may switch to them to help save the earth
