They'd have to be self correcting BBs to be worth it. Stick to Geoffs high precision or longbows. £26?! Overcharging much? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its only for close encounters and has full auto so good to keep costs down. Currently using 0.28g 6ammo for AEG which seems good. Anyone have any experience with them? Same packaging as BB King and very likely the same factory. They vacuum pack theirs as they're some of the last left that're hygroscopic (i.e. swell up as they adsorb water in the air). I would certainly avoid and stick to brands from factories that don't do that. Geoffs Super Precision are pretty excellent. Longbows and Geoffs Precision are basically the same so buy whichever is cheaper I suppose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EDcase Posted October 24, 2017 Share Posted October 24, 2017 The ones I got came in a heavy duty bag (1kg) but not vac sealed. Not BioDegradable and don't seem hygroscopic. Will test that later. Will try Longbows when I get through these. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Root Admin proffrink Posted October 24, 2017 Root Admin Share Posted October 24, 2017 Yep, this is typically just the case with BBs over .30. Again a reminder: Longbows are the same as standard Geoffs, but the Super Precision Geoffs are more expensive because they're a different BB. If you're sniping then you may wish to try both and decide whether the Geoffs are worth the bit extra, but Geoffs being the same as Longbows isn't 100% true.

Yes, it's more accurate, but also, I've had times where I've been trying to snipe someone and they've seen the BB coming, just ducked their head out the way, then popped back again, and that's even more frustrating than anything else. Go as heavy as you can lift, but don't go under 350fps for long shots also. If you have a brilliant hop system and a fantastically set up gun, might find that you could send a .43bb travelling for ages and super accurate, but at a snails pace and people will see it coming a mile off, sit down, make a cup of tea, dip a biscuit or two, wait for the BB to crawl over their heads, then get back up and start shooting back at you. For this reason, even on a UK fully upgraded sniper, I wouldn't suggest going up to .43s, and only running .40s on a top end fps rifle. Here's a handy little table: .20g FPS Max BB Weight at 350fps 390-415 .25g 415-430 .28g 430-470 .30g 470-495 .36g 495-500 .40g If you want to avoid this, you could try using black BBs - on the plus side, they can't see your BBs and essentially allow you to use heavier BBs with better accuracy. On the downside, you can't see your BBs either, so you won't really know for sure that they're not taking hits, or you're fractionally missing them. This is absolutely a wives tale, heavier BBs end up going faster beyond about 30ft. A combination of going slower initially which means less drag and heavier weight meaning more momentum means that regardless of how fast the .20 leaves the barrel, once you're beyond 30-35' (which is NOT far) the .30g that left doing 66% of the speed will still arrive at the target first.

Still doesn't help with people who just keep ducking out of the way of shots though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

commanderpegasus420 Posted October 25, 2017 Author Share Posted October 25, 2017 Im still confused as to which i should be using in my sniper. Its bog standard. I havent recieved it yet either and cant afford to test bbs. The geoffs look good to me but still not sure which weight The guns rated at 390 fps according to patrolbase if that helps resolve the situation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hangtight Posted October 25, 2017 Share Posted October 25, 2017 Don't over think it. If you can't afford to test different BBs then just get ASG Devil 0.36g (3000-£23), get out and enjoy yourself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
