for just some backyard/woods skirmishes the price of .20's is a bit steep when you hardly get any compared to the .12's is what my point is
and i think the walmart ones work perfectly for a springer
the clear red and green ones by crossman i have though have been very good specially for the amount you get for the price. the glow in the dark tracer round bbs walmart sells for $3.95 for 2000 they in my opinion are the best ive seen from walmart. they are almost precision bbs
ive checked bbs on ebay you usually get a whole bunch for a really low price but then the shipping kills it youd end up paying more for less bbs than if youd went to walmart and picked up two containers of the glow in the dark bbs for roughly 8 bucks for 4000 of almost precision bbs
if you dont believe me you can stop at walmart and see if they have any of the tracers and see for yourself. you really dont have much to lose. i really dont think theyre as bad as everyone says
I see your point man, but your starting to come very close to what most of us consider "shitsoft". Airsoft, as we take it in Canada, involves the collection of functional firearm models either for looks or for semi-realistc skirmish/milsim. Neither can be accomplished with wal-mart guns. The high quality BBs are 1,000,000,000 times better than the .12's in every way shape and form. And BB's are dirt cheap. I go through maybe $50-$60 of BB's (0.25 weight) a season, give or take. Your talking about stuff that none of us use, and as such, you are not likely to find any support or good information for it on this forum. Airsoft is an expensive hobby, but it's WAY cheaper in the US than it is in here. If you spend the $250 on a TM, you won't regret it. Ever. Playing with cheap springers just doesn't do it. A good AEG isn't just a springer that fires faster -it's better in every way, shape, and form.
