Would be genuinely interested to know why the Bulldog Bb's are not recommended. I've been using them for some time & not had any issues, however would be open to peoples thoughts & steer as my experience within Airsoft is fairly limited
Thanks in advance

Mainly because just bb guns sells them. They're probably just a rebrand of others to be honest but suffer from that stigma. I wouldn't personally use them to be on the safe side, I prefer to stick to tried and tested named brands but I've seen people use then without issue.
Not for me though.

I had a bottle of Bulldogs, bought on site and they were fine in my G&G, but jammed up the glock. Some are misshapen and not perfectly spherical, mis matched weights and covered in a horribly tacky release agent.
Once they have been washed they do become a bit more consistent. The release agent and hop up rubber don't interact well.
However they are reasonably serviceable if you don't expect too much of them.
[Addendum] I wil not buy any again, they were fine as a pinch, with the bog standard cm16, in a high cap where you can overkill to make up for inaccuracy, but any decent hop up unit, TBB, or if you actually want the shot to go where you aim there are much much much better options for not a lot more cash.
ASG Blasters are the minimum and BB Bastards get my money everytime now, even in my DE shotty.
I also highly rate the P&J Bios from Taiwangun.

Yup - chubby the liar ain't getting no more money out of me though they were alright for me
BAW's .20's atm seem good all rounders - but these could be any other make for all I know
a make that works for you may not always work so well for others/guns/barrels etc....
plus some makes could better/worse on different weights & batches depending on what you get/use
Stick to main brands from good retailers or see what your site sells is best advice
if they sold $hit bb's that were pi$$ poor and jammed then peeps would soon moan about it or give them hell

Wait what, glass bb's?! Didn't even realise they existed, wouldn't want to be on the receiving end of that.

They're for target shooting. There's a few "re-usable" types designed for target shooting or for zeroing your sights that are made out of ceramics and such. Cost a ridiculous amount of money but then they're not supposed to be used in skirmishes!

For most of my guns I run ASG Blaster Devil 0.25g for indoors and Fireball Biodegradble 0.25g for outdoors. Both seem fairly similar in terms of quality with the Fireball ones being significantly cheaper.
For my sniper rifle I have had a lot of success with Zeroone's 0.4g BBs. They have a bad rep for every other size they do, but I've never had any issues with this size. At £7.99 for 2000 rounds it's very cheap compared to other sniper ammo.
