I used 6000 BBS in 8 hours on Sunday costing £16 from my site, that's starting to get expensive...

Does anyone buy big sacks I've seen the BAW ones for £150 that seems a good price, plus I was going to make a tumbeler tonpolish them too, but that's another story, so in short is it worth it and are BAW any good ?

 
did you get 6000 kills?

i dont use baw so can't comment on that, but if you look at your rifle, it has these crazy things on top, that if you aline and focus on the front bit, will save you about 5000 bbs a day.

I get called itchy trigger for using half a 3k bottle in a day, god knows what youre doing dude. What you got, minigun?

 
Jesus I use about 1000rnds max in a whole day at the mall and thats a target rich environment. How many kills did you get for 6000rnds or were you just spamming?

I buy 12 x 3k bottles of 0.25g Blasters from Socom Tactical which is £80 posted. Personally I'm surprised everyone doesn't bulk buy if they know a good source as they don't exactly go off and will get used, it saves money in the long run and i've been to sites that don't sell BBs(not to mention they can be £10 a bottle if they do)

They also do these: http://www.socomtactical.net/airsoft-accessories/ammo-and-gas/0-25-airsoft-bbs/25-bags-of-3000-0-25g-bbs-bulk-deal-save-40.html

Which is even cheaper, no idea what that ammo is like though.

I use .25's BAW's and think they are pretty decent. No issues so far with them.
6000 bbs a day is rather a lot tho.
The first time I went I did use rather a lot as i'm sure many did, but you will soon calm down.
I'm down to 1000 or so for the day now depending on how many turn up.

 
It was really windy though... That's my excuse and I'm sticking with it ?

 
I used to use a lot maybe 4000 a day but I'm down to around 800-1000 a day now as I pick my shots rather than spray and pray.

 
I get through 2-3 bottles a day running my LMG, mixture of it firing fast and people needing a bit of encouragement to take hits. Once full autoed someone for 5-10 seconds as he somehow thought he could get away with not taking it.

Thats a great idea but I mainly user 0.25 tracers and a box of those works out at over £150.
 
Switch to low caps, changes your play style drastically and in your case, will save you money.

 
25kg of bb's was just auctioned on Facebook page "Airsoft auctions", it went for £95

I guess it depends if it's a saving over buying individually and if you mind having to put the money up front. For me it was getting a bit nasty spending £30 on ammo on days when I wanted to run the LMG.

Spot on I mainly use 40rnd mags and since doing so find I rarely use full auto and pick my shots more. Also set up your gun properly, if you fire 6000rnds then I guess your missing a lot. (a hell of a bloody lot)

Probably would do but the wife moans about how much I spend a month on airsoft now. If I spent a £150 on bbs it would be nothing compared the solicitors fees after.
 
I do about 1k a day give or take. I did 1500/1800 on saturday playing at a mates bday as there was alot of supresive fire going down lol. And as above i dont bulk buy either as i use .20 and .25 tracers depending on the day etc.

 
Like beastmode, I limit myself to a max of 600 to myself & 1000 when one of my sons are with me but the less I use the better, I rarely want to use full auto

Most of the sites me & my team mates go to, we use our own but one site, we have to buy there's
