Airsoft Canada - View Single Post - Thoughts on converting a (c02)GBBR into firing .177 steel BB's?

Just an idea, but consider the WE closed bolt system. I suspect it may make conversion to a different calibre much easier, though still possibly quite complex.....getting it to feed right may get very messy. I've seen paintball guns scaled down to feed and shoot 6mm bbs, but it was a simply a straight tube that fell directly into the chamber. Converting a GBBR may have the problem of extracting the round from the magazine, up the ramp, and into the chamber (not sure if this is the case for WE closed bolts).
