What type of BB's to use?
 

I recently bought a stock WELL L96 and am looking for advice from some more experienced snipers. Which BB's are best? Is there really any difference between .28g and .30g? What about between .25 and .30g?

yes there is a noticable difference between .30 and .28 to make a difference to make it worth buying, the bush pushing power is a lot more, i would recomend buying the .30 for outdoor of course, indoor, it doesnt matter too much tho

I use .25's for my AEG, .30's tend to be the snipers standard BB.

I guess .28's offer more of a middleground between speed (FPS) and accuracy so really it's your choice between .28's and .30's.

If I were you I'd probably get a 500 ct. bag of .28's and .30's and see which one you like better. Then it's just a matter of buying that weight.

round ones. they work best

i prefer .35 cubic ones in my guns, but it really boils down to your prefrences and what you like :rolleyes:

think about if airsoft guns could shoot real metal. whoa that'd be tight. I'm guessing that'll take a few 1o years before that happens.

hey, has anyone seen my cat?

yeah, for guns (snipers in particular) over 450 FPS w/ .2 g-- use .30's. You'll be satisfied.

Until you're the one being shot with em ;)

And metal would be so heavy your range would go bye bye!!! Plus they would murder your hop-up.

And btw they HAVE come out with those, they're just hard to find and nobody uses them for the ^ reasons.

I'm pretty sure there's some lightweight aluminum ones that are used in sniper rifles. And as long as the weight of the BB is the same, the energy it carries will remain the same.

I use 0.25 for my AEG & my GBB. Link to the brand I use.

There are a lot of variables.

For the cost of determining your most accurate round, you're best off buying a minimum sample across weight and across brand, and do test shoots with your gun at common engagement distances and determine grouping and drop and then make conclusions. There is no way anyone can really answer the question other than to say that yes, in general, heavier BBs are better for accuracy with upgraded guns - but thats a pretty general statement. Better to know for sure before fielding that gun.

I got some .88's steel. Here hold this TV.

I am guessing that aluminium 0.3g bbs will do more on impact because metal is harder than plastic.

I was just wanted to have a bit of fun.

On a serious note, where can I find .36 bb's. Most places don't carry them.

And wouldn't aluminum bb's do some serious damage to the skin?

I take it you use those against 'non-Christian' players? Lol, look it up in early firearms, was actually used, round shot for Christians, cubes against non Christians!

I did a lot of testing of various weights of BBs, and mostly using Bastards, there was very little difference in fps between 0.28g BB Bastards and 0.30g Bastards. So the loss is nil, and the gain is better wind resistance and better penetration. If I could afford to use the 0.30g in my GBBs, I'd use them constantly in them and my sniper rifles. But the 0.28g work great in my GBBs, so I'm not complaining (BTW, I've gotten quite a few kills over 100ft distance....... one at a stepped out 140ft range, using 0.36g BBs in my Glock 19s without much for upgrades, just a matter of learning to shoot it correctly).
