I threw mine out. Water is part of the process of the breakdown of bio ammo, and the last thing anyone needs is to screw up their guns trying to save a few BBs. Maybe they'd be fine, but the risk to worth ratio just isn't there.

It takes water, sunlight, oxygen, soil and temperature that creates a micro bacteria to begin the breakdown process.

Just getting wet would not make any reputable brand of bio ammo cause any issues with it being used again. 5 years ago I wouldn't suggest it when the process wasn't as refined as it is today. However for dirt, grime, slime reasons I wouldn't use any wet ammo.

I've seen boxmags on SAW's get soaked, and they all stuck to each other.

That ever happened to you Bu?

NOPE. 1) if I'm running saw, the box mags don't usually stay loaded very long, and 2) I toss them out if they get all wet.

After EVERY game I take all my mags and empty them in a 1 gallon zip lock bag. That way I don't have to worry what weight I was using (I use multiple weapons with different weight of Bbs). When it comes to a big game I'll hand the big bag to someone or a team mate that is running a SAW. It makes there day and the weight of the Bbs fluctuate and what better gun could you use anywhere from 0.20 to 0.32 Bbs. Give it to a SAW for cover fire.
