Couple of BB questions

[oplholik]

Does "BB" actually stand for anything, like Black Beauty, or Black Bullet?
A while back I had an SB, and noticed it seemed to hit harder than my other 3.7's. For instance, on all my 3.7's I use 1.7Ω cartos, but on the SB I was able to go to 2Ω cartos. Does this hold true for the SB as well?

Can't answer the question about the different carto resistances.

I never heard an "official" designation for the BB initials. I've heard the same Black Beauty, Black Bullet (I believe the first BB came only in black), and also Baby Bullet.

Perhaps Mr. Chad or Rob will pop by and let us know what the name BB is short for.

Back in the day it was always referred to as the Black Beauty, I'm sure it's changed by now though.

It was named the Black Beauty from the start. Just as the Silver Bullet was called the SB, I figured it would just end up being called the BB
