Answer 3

Airsoft Pellets

Answer 4

6mm is the standard size for airsoft BBs. Rarely, you will come across a gun that uses 8mm BBs. Bigger BBs are not better than smaller BBs, but the weight of the BBs does matter. Heavier BBs are more accurate but do not fire as fast as the lighter BBs. I suggest using .24g - .30g BBs, depending on the gun.

Answer 5

Nearly all guns use 6mm bbs.

Sizes range from .12 - .43.



The most common bbs used are:

.12 .20 .23 .25 .28 .30



Bigger BBs slow down the FPS of the gun, for example.

My gun, shoots at 430 FPS with .20.

If i change it to .25

It shoots at 390 FPS instead.

Believe it or not, its physics, but the bigger the BB, the farther it goes.

For example, a .25 goes farther then a .20 would.

Thats why some snipers use .43 BBs, but the FPS would lower so much.



Its not the fact that bigger bbs are better, its just that some are better for this role then that one.

For example, CQB, you need a gun that shoots about 350 FPS.

For CQB, you wouldn't use a .25 because it would lower the FPS too much, and for CQB (Close Quarters Battle), you don't need the BB to go farther, so .20 is just perfect.

Hope I solved your question thanks.

Answer 6

most guns use 6mm bbs

-they are very small pellets



they also have 6 mm paintball for airsoft guns-



-they are the same size as regular 6mm, but they make a paint splat when they hit your target.

-dont use in shotguns, AEGs, gas pistols or electric pistols, only use them in spring pistols, they ruin any other king of gun



but ive seen some airsoft guns use 50 caliber

-they are wayyyy larger than regular 6mm bbs, and are more expensive





paintballs are 68 caliber

-paintballs are very large, cant be fired out of airsoft guns, the barrels are to small, and have liquid in them so people/ Refs can tell when you get hit

ps: these paint balls have nothing to do with airsoft



hope this helps

thanks for asking

also there are different weights , .12 gram, use in not so good guns, or opistols

.20 gram use in AEGs & in gas & spring rifles & pistols

.23 gram use in snipers or high fps AEGs

.25 gram use in snipers or high fps AEGs

.28 gram use in high powered snipers

.33 gram use in high powered snipers

thats all of the bbs that would usually use, people usuall dont use .33 or .28

but the heavier the bb the more accurate it goes, but if its too heavy it would just drop, and if its to light it would curve up!



you must also know that the lighter the bb, the higher the velocity but itsless accurate.

Answer 7

6mm is standard size. Nearly every gun uses that size. The only other size bb that is used is 8mm. Those are rarely to never found on the airsoft field.

Answer 8

6mm BBs are THE airsoft BB that you will find, buy, or use.



The only other option would be 8mm. They are only in a few WWII model guns just for the realism.



Stick with 6mm, its cheaper. and your 500 times more likely to use guns that use 6mm than 8mm.

Answer 9

almost every airsoft gun uses 6mm bbs. its the standerd size. however different weights shown in grams will affect how fast your gun fires, and how accurate your shot is.

heavier bbs will give a more accurate shot, but for about every extra .02 gram you will lose 10-15 fps.

the standerd weight for a 6mm bb is .20 grams. do not use .12g bbs, they stink



the only other bb size is 8mm, the guns that shoot these #1 shoot harder and #2 will shoot significantly heavier bbs.

example?

heavy for a 6mm bb is .43g

heavyist for a 8mm bb is .88g



so yes, 8mm guns are better

Answer 10

Most every gun uses 6mm bbs. The other size is 8mm.



Now if your talking about weight that they are as follow:

0.12g 0.2g 0.25g 0.28g 0.3g 0.88g (metal)

Answer 11

6mm is the standard size for airsoft bb's...Probably about 93% of all guns use that size...Truthfully i never saw any smaller or larger...Ill tell you though...those things sting if you get hit by a decent gun...Yeah...They're fine...

Answer 12

Protein need to lose weight and to repair muscle after working out. When muscles repair themselves, they grow. But that depends on the type of exercise. Usually lifting heavy weights breaks muscles more. So, there is more growth during repairs. Add a healthy fat into your diet, too. Salmon, flax seeds, nuts, olive oil. There are many useful information about losing weight and building muscles here:

6mm is the most common there is its not 6mm bbs its 6mm 0.12g bbs or 0.2g and when you buy a gun it should say what kind of bbs to buy with it because certain bbs wont work in it like a mechanical pencil and led. answer mine https://answersrip.com/question/index?qid=20090629041539AAIf8so

Its not really the mm but the grams. Like .12g, .20g, .25g, etc. Yes it is the size but also the quality.
