PUSHING THE LIMITS
Novritsch started airsoft sniping 15 years ago, with one mission. Crafting the perfect sniper rifle, with the best possible range and accuracy. The last few years have seen little development and advances in the domain. The 6mm 0.46g BB was the heaviest Bio BB and it could not be made heavier. The ammunition was the main factor that limited the potential of our sniper rifles.
PUSHING THE LIMITS
Novritsch started airsoft sniping 15 years ago, with one mission. Crafting the perfect sniper rifle, with the best possible range and accuracy. The last few years have seen little development and advances in the domain. The 6mm 0.46g BB was the heaviest Bio BB and it could not be made heavier. The ammunition was the main factor that limited the potential of our sniper rifles.
IT IS TIME FOR CHANGE
We went back to the drawing boards and engineered the system from the ground up, again. After extensive research, We figured out that the 6mm BB is not ideal for 2-4 joules sniper rifles. We set on a mission that hasn't been done before, building the future of Airsoft Sniping.
LONGER RANGE
IMPROVED AIR RESISTANCE
Air resistance increases exponentially with the projectile's speed. The heavier 0.58g BB leaves your muzzle with the same energy, but slower, which leads to less air resistance. This is why it keeps its speed and kinetic energy much longer, leading to a drastic increase in effective range.

CONSISTENT MAGNUS EFFECT
The higher mass of the 0.58g BBs in combination with the bigger diameter makes for a long-lasting backspin. Since the mass is further away from the center than on a 6mm BB, the spin can be kept for longer which leads to a flat and long-ranging hop-up effect.

The flight path explained
ENHANCED ACCURACY
Consistent Backspin
As a result of the larger 6.44 diameter, vertical accuracy is improved due to a more consistent force of the Magnus effect (=hop up effect). The hop up bucking has more time and surface to grab the BB and spin it consistently every time you fire.
INERTIA ADVANTAGE
Due to the high inertia, the 0.58g FULL THRUST BB will keep its direction towards the target more steadily even through air turbulences present on its path.
0.46g grouping | 60m @ 2.6J
0.58g grouping | 60m @ 2.6J
WIND RESISTANCE
WIND DRIFT ADVANTAGE
The heavier a moving object is, the harder it is to get it off its direction of travel. The 27% weight increase of the FULL THRUST BBs makes for 27% more inertia.
This means that the 0.58g BBs are much less affected by the wind which enables you to hit your targets consistently at windy outdoor games.
THE FLIGHT PATH EXPLAINED
The above graph shows the difference between the 0.58g and the 0.46g when influenced by the wind. Although starting very close together, the wind eventually gets them further apart as it is better able to influence the trajectory of the lighter BB. The 0.58g holds the direction better and is less vulnerable to environmental conditions.
LESS INJURIES
The higher surface of the 6.44mm diameter spreads the force of the hitting BB over a bigger area. This results in the full thrust BB being safer than standard 6mm BBs when shot at equal power.
CLAY PENETRATION TEST
To visualize the safety aspect of the FULL THRUST BBs we used ballistic clay diluted with water. Both 6mm and the 6.44 rifles shot with equal energy.
The FULL THRUST BB can not penetrate as deep as the 6mm BB, due to the bigger surface area.
SKIN IRRITATION TEST
To test the theory we shot with a 6mm and a FULL THRUST rifle at bare skin. Both rifles were 1 Joule and were fired from 10 meters away.
While both hits are far away from a serious injury the close-up picture shows how the 6mm BB impact damaged the skin more due to the smaller impact surface.

Heavy and Bio
100% Bio-degradeable PLA
The base material from the NOVRITSCH 0.46g Bio BB is the same as for the 0.58g FULL THRUST BBs. The heavier weight is a result of the increased diameter.
This makes the FULL THRUST BB the heaviest biodegradable BB on the market which makes it ideal for long-range engagements at outdoor games.

SPECIFICS
BARREL MOUNTING SYSTEM
The barrel mounting system centers the barrel exactly in the middle of the chamber allowing it to be stable unlike traditional mounting options which have clips pins and set screws.
Hop-Up Bucking
The bucking is a R-Hop-like silicone sleeve that if worn down, you can turn it around making it practically immortal. The bull barrel is specifically cut to accommodate this bucking. It is not an injection molded, but an extruded bucking, which allows for a more consistent and homogeneous material.
10mm Stainless steel bull barrel
The 10mm Stainless steel Bull barrel has a bigger wall thickness for less vibrations during the shot and is an overall more rigid barrel.
