While I am not at all familiar with brick and motor stores in the Ottawa area selling bio bb's I can say that they are easily available on the web.

From what I understand it doesn't sound as if you'll be gaming with your STG-44. My hunch is you're just going to plink. The big issue with bio bb's is their ballistic properties. Some players game with mesh airsoft masks at certain fields. Bio bb's can shatter on contact with these mesh googles causing possible eye damage.

Bio bb's should be fine to use with your STG-44. This AEG shoots >400 fps and < 450 fps with .20 g bb's out of the box. The stock hop up is nothing special and consideration should betaken to replace it. Try using both .25's and .28's. Maybe even .30's. I have used both .25's and .28's and was pleased with the results.

When you receive your STG-44 you may be disappointed about the colour and appearance of the wooden stock. The stock can be wobbly but that is easily fixed. You'll also see a body pin close to the magwell that is very loose and can easily fall out and be lost. Lastly, there 's good chance that the selector will not go to "safe" which is also fixable. Lastly, do not drop this AEG on concrete. It's made of some shoddy metal.

You got to love the workmanship chinese guns.

If you ever get a lead on mid cap or low cap magazines for the STG-44 you must post in this thread!
