Foreign objects in BB bags

Has this happened to anyone else? I found a plastic rectangle in the second bag of BBs I ever used and was a bit disturbed. How common is finding non-BBs supposed to be?

I have only ever used AE BBs, and have never found anything in them. Finding diamonds in them would be cool though.

I haven't found anything other than BBs in bags I've bought (mostly AE .25g) but there were some cheaper 0.20g BBs I bought in the past (the field stocked them) that I noticed came in 4000rds, were a very light baby blue colour, but just about every single one of them had a tiny little nipple on the side. I found that odd, obviously a buffed out manufacturing mark.

I found some stuff in this Taiwanese bag of BBs once. I think it's called shit. The whole bag was full of 4000 pieces of shit, because that's what the BBs were. Misshapen spherical shit.

On a more serious note... no, I've never found any foreign objects in my ammo bags. Then again, I've only ever used Excel, TM, and Guarder.

Is the rectangle made out of the same type of plastic that the bb's are made out of? Because if it is, its probably suposed to be a bb but maby 2 got squished together or something.

I'd like to see pics of it though.

99% chance it was BB Bastard BBs, 1% chance it came from some AEs dumped in my BB bottle. It looks to be of the same plastic as the BBs and part of a larger stick of plastic.

I'll take a pic of it the next time my girlfriend comes up with her digital camera.

I just found a pine need inside an unopened bag of AE.

That's it, I'm switching to Guarder.

AE doesn't staple their bags together, and they brag about that fact. They heat seal their bags.

The sole fact that AE doesn't use staples.

I usually check my bags, pour them into a bowl and move them around for a few min.
cant recall the brand, but it was the kind that Apoc sells. And if I rember correctly, they were heat sealed.
I bought a bag, took it home, opened it, filled my Cmag and fired away, after a few hundred shots, it jammed. a lone staple was jammed right where the mag meets the AEG.
removed it and fired away.
few min later it happened again. after a takedown of the gun found a staple wedged agaist my hop-up.

emptied the bag into a bowl and found a 3rd.

meh, i donno

Of the ones Apoc gets, the .25g are AE, the .20g are Excel. Excel staples, AE heat seals.
