Nicky blue eyes Posted February 12, 2017 Share Posted February 12, 2017 It's now getting to the point where i get my shiny new toy but I'm going to need ammo. I know to avoid the cheapo 10millon bbs for a fiver type of thing on fleabay, but my question is will a cheap brand bought from a reputable online shop kill my gear box (potentially). And what brands should I avoid like the plague? Cheers in advance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supporters Qlimax Posted February 12, 2017 Supporters Share Posted February 12, 2017 Wouldn't ever go cheap on BBs because bad ones can ruin barrel, bucking and mags etc. Cheap BBs from a reputable shop doesn't always mean bad but still worth spending a bit more. I personally now use ASG Cursed BBs had no issues at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andyraven Posted February 12, 2017 Share Posted February 12, 2017 i use ASG .25g http://www.patrolbase.co.uk/airsoft-bbs/0-25g-blaster-6mm-bb-bundle-x-9000.htm#.WKB88zuLTcs but im moving towards bios, they cost more but i have a feeling more and more sites will me switching to bios in the future with the plastic problem we're having. http://www.patrolbase.co.uk/airsoft-bbs/g-g-0-25g-4000rnd-competition-grade-6mm-bio-bb-1kg-bag.htm#.WKB9KTuLTcs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nicky blue eyes Posted February 12, 2017 Author Share Posted February 12, 2017 Fair play. Just me being a bit of a tight arse lol. And i never gave bios a thought befor. It might be worth having a look at them as well. Who ever thought little plastic ball bearings could be so confusing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supporters Qlimax Posted February 12, 2017 Supporters Share Posted February 12, 2017 Proball also seem to be good I used to use them all the time but switched to ASG ones. G&G I've used to and they seem OK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nicky blue eyes Posted February 12, 2017 Author Share Posted February 12, 2017 I recon g and g is the way to go. A bit of a happy medium Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mostly Retired Moderators L3wisD Posted February 13, 2017 Mostly Retired Moderators Share Posted February 13, 2017 Blasters are a great all-round (price vs quality) BB. Blaster Devil's are also great, try a bag and see what you think. I'm just finishing up a bag of ASG Cursed BBs and have found them to have a teeny bit more accuracy compared to the blaster devil's. But it's so negligible, it's barely worth fussing over... (I'm not even entirely sure it's not all in my head! Hah!) Thursday night I'm trying out BAW tracers at the mall. I'll report back Friday morning Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carta4 Posted February 14, 2017 Share Posted February 14, 2017 I've recently started to use G+G and they've given my rifles a great consistent performance so I would recommend them. Saying that most of my team swear by rockets which they purchase in bulk so I'd say as long as they're not cheap your good to go. Plus I've had a rifle or two which lift 0.2s without any hop on so would never go below 0.25's on them. Try a few and find out pal! This is also the most fun as you have a reason to fire 1000's of BB's without the missus saying it's for no reason ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nicky blue eyes Posted February 14, 2017 Author Share Posted February 14, 2017 Fairplay its a hard experiment to under take. But i guess I'll soldier on (sorry about the pun) cheers for the input Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators djben9 Posted March 2, 2017 Moderators Share Posted March 2, 2017 i was on 0.2 excell bbs from Firesupport and their site shops, now moved onto the .25 version as well as ASG 0.25s as Andys' first link seem fine to me, occasionally hit people with them so they work! haha Still have some 0.2 ASG tracers to get through next time its dark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supporters ImTriggerHappy Posted March 2, 2017 Supporters Share Posted March 2, 2017 Nuprol RZR are my current favourites. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aunty Pasty Posted March 3, 2017 Share Posted March 3, 2017 I tend to stick with ASG blasters as they're decent quality and cheapish. I've tried zero-one own brand bbs. IMO they have a higher than average chance of breaking in the barrel which isn't a good thing. I've heard bulldog bbs aren't much cop but no personal experience. I've seen various videos which suggest they have small bubble inside which may throw off their trajectory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dentonboy Posted March 3, 2017 Share Posted March 3, 2017 Excels are my first choice, you can often buy bulk from Flecktarn or eBay. They were the industry standard when I first started a decade ago and I'd be surprised if they've slipped down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nuprol RZR tracers are the way forward expecially the 0.25 red. I won't be getting another bag any time soon. They glowed bright enough, but had lots of flyers and they're weak as anything and break so easy on impact - I was scared of shooting someone with mesh eyepro. May as well have been using flechette rounds! Going to try the RZRs after your recommendation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nicky blue eyes Posted March 3, 2017 Author Share Posted March 3, 2017 I will have a look at the Nuprol bbs as untiĺ now I've not heard of rzr s before 4 hours ago, Aunty Pasty said: I tend to stick with ASG blasters as they're decent quality and cheapish.

Its a fine line between buying cheap and learning the hard way how to tech my gun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AshOnSnow Posted March 3, 2017 Share Posted March 3, 2017 ASG Blaster are basically the bog standard BBs, I wouldn't say that they were "rubbish quality" in the way that would break up and damage your gun. As for high end BB's I've heard good things about Geoffs, Blaster Devils and Nuprol RZR. I'd be interested to hear about any recommendations for biodegradable .36-.40 BBs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ghostwalker Posted March 3, 2017 Share Posted March 3, 2017 I tried and found the 'rockets 0.25' bb's to be decent enough for their price. Only downside is the funky BBQ smell they give off. But other than that they seem fairly consistent when put through my g&g predator. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supporters Sitting Duck Posted March 4, 2017 Supporters Share Posted March 4, 2017 Rockets are ok to push up a Gunfire order to get free p&p or even free bag for points BUT any tight decent long barrel you will see them being a bit mehhhhh (ultra tight barrels can jam) I'd say Rocket for a budget or std gun or perhaps CQB or G&G are well worth a look - much more true if trying to hit stuff when it matters I have rolled both of these down some very tbb and rockets do seem to slow or drag a bit (ok they could have swollen or bad batch) But G&G's every one rolled down the barrel smoothly And yes - the G&G's do shoot better so imho worth paying a little extra for Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ghostwalker Posted March 5, 2017 Share Posted March 5, 2017 Has anyone tried the ares diamond precision .28 bb's. Fairly pricey at nigh on £15 for 3500. But are they worth the cost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
