Well, there IS a guy in the Ottawa area that claims a stock G36 shot a 0.20g BB fast enough that when it hit him in the hand it EXPLODED off his hand while playing in the CQB house.............. to which the user was immediately dragged off to the chrony by the victim and found it shot 280fps, 20fps under the CQB house maximum. Ever see a hot balloon deflate?

Aluminum BB are made of soft aluminum. What the guy you refer to is talking aboiut is the Straight/Digicon BBs that are made of plastic but have a graphite coating on them. Shitty for guns with hop up, designed for non-hop up guns shooting very high velocities in competition matches in Japan against steel targets.
