GBB BB's

mugger · April 11th, 2006, 21:25

This is probably going to sound stupid, but I've been searching for a while for my friend and haven't found anything, but he's wondering if you can use .12g bb's in GBB's.

:smack:

Mantelope · April 11th, 2006, 21:29

Sure. You can also use .48s. Doesn't mean they'll perform very well. This topic HAS been discussed, recently as well. Try different search phrases maybe?

what hes trying to say is no, they really suck. airsoft GBBs tend to be designed for .25 and heavier. they work with with .20, but there is no airsoft gun that is ment to use less then .20g

0.12g BB's do not work well in GBB's. It will not harm the gun to use them, but the performance will be awfull. Stick to at least 0.2g

You'll get wicked FPS on it though.

Maybe you can remind me what the point of "wicked FPS" is?

Anywho 0.12s suck in AEGs and GBBs...people who get hit can't freaking hear/feel them. You don't get good accuracy either.

BTW how come we use the term "FPS" over "Velocity?"

[Avtomat] · April 13th, 2006, 08:12

Ya you can feel them.

Carvs · April 13th, 2006, 08:44

I used .12g's in my M9. Man, did they suck! Stick with .20's or .25's

not bad if your shooting ceiling tiles. the hopup sends them straight up.

FPS denotes both velocity and its units of measurement. Also, it's shorter and sounds neater!

I use 0.12g BBs in my Glocks when doing speed drills (unholster, double tap and holster fast from different sides and stances) in my basement, they work just fine and are cheap to use. Just don't expect much from them after 40ft or so.

I'm not telling you what to do, but I'd take it good and slow holstering the pistol. But practice does make perfect, watch this guy's Mozambique drill. And he does it perfectly safely, too.
