do i have to use cybergun airsoft bbs for my gun?

Question

i just got the m4 field duty kit. it is by cybergun. i read the instructions and it said to use bbs only recommended by cybergun. 20g. 12g. do i have to use those or could i use any bb like crossman airsoft bbs.

Answer 1

I have the same kit. I use 0.20 gram bbs that are bio-degradable. I can't remember the brand, but it wasn't Cybergun or Crosman. The recomendation that says to use Cybergun bbs is just them trying to get you to buy there product and make money. Don't listen to it unless you want to.

Answer 2

Hahahaha, you should NEVER use Cybergun. Well...some say it works through tightbores, and others would never think about purchasing a Crossman/Cybergun branded product. I think they're just a little dry, but I've seen a few crazy deformed ones in a few of my buckets. To be safe, you should not use cybergun OR crossman bbs. The general of thumb is to never buy airsoft from a local sporting goods store/walmart. Stick to Airsoft Elite, Golden Ball, KSC, G&G, TSD, and Evike's Matrix. Use .20g bbs. Never use .12's. They're low quality, poorly made cheap bbs, but then again, this is for an LPEG.

Well, it really doesn't matter what kind of BBS they are as long as they are seamless.Seamless are less likely to jam and ARE recommended for AEGs. Using seamed BBS will void most warranties on most AEGs depending on the recommended type of BBS. Unless your Airsoft gun is a Entry Level AEG, you should use seamless due to the manufacturers recommendation. Also along with Crosman BBS, they are not a very well made BB due to the air pockets inside the BB, increasing the chance of the BB breaking inside your Airsoft rifle and causing a jam or even damage to your gun. I would use .20 gram BBS since most Airsoft manufacturers recommend .20 gram due to them having a higher quality and more reliability. .20 grams are recommended because .12 gram BBS can and most of the time damage your gun more than higher weight. .12 grams do more damage to to the air nozzle, barrel and barrel seal which does cost quite a bit of money to replace for such a small parts. So overall I recommend .20 or higher seamless BBS. I hope this is what you are looking for! Good Luck.

I had mine for a little over a year and I have only used the airsoft(KJW full metal M9) once in a blue moon. In a very very rough estimation I think I may have fired about 300 shots. The magazine is leaking gas which I had to get repaired and it’s doing it again, and the magazine release button is worn out so my magazines slides out every time I fire. I use the air soft as a training tool to train reloads and for that reason I fire about 6 shots before reload, which means I had about 50 or slightly more magazine release and reloads. Which is a ridiculous number for the magazine release to break at.(The repair with parts and all will run me $60. The airsoft itself was $105, and I can get polymer with metal slide M9 for $80) So, I have dysfunctional airsoft in a little over a year with about 300 shots. PS No real damage or wears otherwise. Slides running smooth and the recoil spring is excellent.

Answer 5

It is just as any other Marketing crap...They want you to use the ones that The reccomend becuase they get some of the profit they make off of certian brands..but really uou can use any BB you want

Answer 6

You can use any type of bb as long as it doesnt get jammed!
