question about BB's

[luciusthegod]

can we still order those or will they get seized at the border?

[mcguyver]

Why would you want to? Unless you need an extra special BB that simply is not available in Canada, order in Canada. There is everything already here that you'll need and you won't get raped with international shipping for a $6 US bag of bb's.

im looking for .35g bb's and they are not easy to find here in canada.

You mean 0.36g BBs? They are available, just hard to find sometimes. They are borderline pathetic in sniper rifles though due to their lack of quality dimensional consistancy, but are great in GBBs. If you are to order any, go through WGC or UN Company, they'll get in no problem. Just gotta translate that $15US into $CDN, add taxes & duty, etc. and you'll find those BBs just became roughly $29CDN per bag of 1000. So yes, it's possible to order them from out of country (they are just formed plastic balls afterall) but you'd be hardpressed to find much in the way of saving cash.

ok... what wieght of bb's os good for a upgraded sniper? .28 .30?

[tsuru]

Depends entirely on the FPS of the gun itself, the nature of the gun (sniper in this case although you haven't mentioned whether it's a spring bolt-action, gas bolt-action or AEG) and the individual unit itself. Many snipers play with different ammo within a weight range until they're satisfied with one they can stick with. If your gun is firing in the 400-450FPS range popular choices for sniper ammo are the Maruzen Super Grand Master 0.29g and Tokyo Marui Superior Grade 0.30g

oh yea bolt action l96 maruzen its getting upgraded to shoot 425+ (with .25-.30ish) hopefully around 500 (with .2's)

While we're on the topic, I've got a TM PSG-1 which I'm about to get upgraded with the Systema Full Tuneup Kit. What weight and make of BB's would be ideal with the 300% spring?

This all belongs in Accessories, Upgrades and Modifications or Doctor's Corner.
If you upgrade a PSG1 to 300%, expect problems. I'm not being snarky, I've seen in person all the hell the owner of that model went through. Save money for the Doctor.

I'm getting a lot of people asking for .28's. I don't carry them, but several people have said to me they are the cats ass in a moderately upgraded BA.
