Digested crux:
- BBBMAX 0.27 @ 80m/s spalled glass from 1.5 meters

Which isn't really a surprise, considering Bioval themselves issued a statement (subsequent to the Berget incident) which included:

In this respect the BBBMAX has performed to specifications.

Considering teeth have been chipped with ordinary BBs when using high enough velocities, I also wonder at what velocity the Bioval stuff would start causing trips to the dentist.
