Best BB Brands + Weight

[Shinobi]

Hey Guys! Dibdn't know what to put this under but ya know :L
I need some more BB's and wnated to know what were the best. I've been using Bulldog's and haven't had any problems, but apparently Excels and Blasters are alot better. Also, I currently have a Mossberg springer (Getting an AEG, don't worry ). Should I just stick to 0.20g bb's or 0.23's or what? (Thinking 0.20's as it's not the best of guns :L). Finally, Im getting a CM16 Carbine. What BB weights should I use for that? And C02 pistols, what gram should I use for them? Thanks alot,

Shinobi

PS I know there are topics similair, but I just wanted a straight up answer ;D

For the CM16, i'd reccomend 0.25g, since you should be getting around 300-350fps.

GBB pistols i'd run 0.28g or 0.3g.

 

Always chrono on 0.2g though.

theres nothing wrong with the combat machines...

 

I use .20g in my cm16 raider L

 

they work fine, accurate/good range

 

anything heavier may make it slightly more accurate but will reduce the velocity and therefore range

 

also 0.20's are so much cheaper than heavier BB's

I use 0.25 blasters in my cm16 £96 delivered from land warrior for 36000

 

I also use the same blasters in my we hi capa 5.1 dragon, but am considering trying some heavier

What brands do you use?

Just want to add my raider l has a greater range on 0.25's than on 0.2's

No.

The BB will have the same energy, no matter the weight.

Heavier BBs actually have greater range as they are less affected by wind, thus reducing velocity at a slower rate while staying more accurate.

I reckon i'll use 0.25's in the CM16 (When I get it :L) 0.30's in a C02 pistol? Also, do you use these:

Is there any point me getting 3000-6000 BB's online? I think i'll go with 0.25g's, all the blasters seem to be out of stock though :/ Any other 0.25g's that are good? I'll look at everyone else's reccomendations

[Tariq]

I've only used Madbull, Excel, Blasters + Blaster Devils, and King Arms.

 

Tend to avoid cheap brands as some of my guns have 6.01mm barrels.

Airsoft supply drop did a nice blog about bb's and mid caps, as some brands jammed a mid cap.

Is it worth it to buy 3000-6000 BB's online? Might go into my local country sports shop on Tuesday, they sell Blaster BB's. How much better are 0.25g's?

[Tariq]

If you have a local shop that sells them, it's probably not worth it.

I tend to buy blasters online, but i usually order at least 6 bottles, and other assortment of things.

 

If your gun is shooting over 300fps its worth using 0.25g to get a more stable bb. You wont notice a huge difference, but they'll be more accurate and a slight increase in range.

[Shinobi]

Are Open Blaster BB's made by Blaster (ASG), or are they different? i know Devil Blaster's are Blaster. Also, are Bio bb's not as good as non bio bb's? http://www.landwarriorairsoft.com/cgi-bin/sh000001.pl?REFPAGE=http%3a%2f%2fwww%2elandwarriorairsoft%2ecom%2facatalog%2fBlaster-0-25g-BBs--3000--AS171%2ehtml&WD=bb%27s&PN=Open-Blaster-0-20g-Bio-BBs--3000--AS17290%2ehtml#.UYatnbUe2IU

Ah, okay. They might be more expensive at my local shop, but they'll probs still be cheaper than postage :L Thanks alot Mate!

[sp00n]

Buying online you may have to factor in delivery etc check the prices though.

 

0.2's are cheaper, but the heavier ones go further and are less effected by wind or foliage

Thanks Mate, might pop down to my local country sports shop, they sell Blaster BB's! Thanks again! And did you say your WE Dragon lasted 120-150 shots a capsule?

No, 2 mags worth, about 64rds I think but I don't use it a lot, in my honest opinion, a side arm is decoration only

Ugh, really wanted a C02 Pistol. Do you know how many mags a WE HI-CAPA Baby 3.8 would last on a capsule? Apparently the 5.1 mag will fit. It's lower power, will that mean more longevity per capsule?

I would not even hazard a guess mate sorry
