Crosman BBs are crappy. They have seam lines, and you will more than likely find malformed BBs in the container. These can be bad for your gun.

And if you have anything other than a fixed hopup clearsoft (which are intended to be used with .12g), then buy .20g BBs.

Like Crunch said, they have deformations, aren't all round, and have seam lines. They'll most likely rip your hopup to shit, may scratch or damage your barrel in some way, and also might jam. Do you need any other reasons?! Lol.

Seriously - you pay $20 + tax at Cdn Tire or Walmart for 5000 shitty .12g BBs.

Metaltech - 3500 - $17 plus shipping
BB Bastard - 2500 - $12.50 + shipping

That you want are perfectly polished BBs that have a perfect spherical shape. To date, the best brands I've used are KSC, BB Bastard, and Metaltech.

KSC are excellent BBs. They work great in all my AEGs and all my pistols except my KSC Glock. Oddly enough, KSC BBs cause feeding issues in my KSC pistol. Otherwise, they worked out great. The only downside is that they will shatter to a bunch of tiny pieces when fired at a hard object. That's not good for CQB situations, or where someone insists on wearing mesh masks for gaming.

I do like BB Bastard BBs. They are impeccably polished and incredibly consistent. They've given me no feed issues in any of my guns. But contrary to claims I've heard though, BB Bastard BBs have shattered into a zillion little pieces on me without failiure when fired at a hard surface. I've seen tons of claims to the contrary, but not according to my experience with them. Because of this, I'd never use them for an indoor game. Outdoors though, I will use them I have a bag of .25s for use in my AEGs, and .28s for my pistols. Those .28s kick ass in pistols, especially if you have a tightbore inner barrel.

So far, my favorite BBs have been Metaltech. They've got a perfect finish. They're accurate and consistent, and don't cause any feed issues. Plus, they actually hold together when fired at solid objects. When fired at a solid object, they will dent. And I've seen a couple that have cracked, but I haven't seen one shatter yet.

So with high quality BBs selling for roughly the same price as these crap Cdn Tire ones, I don't know why anyone would want to buy those cheap pieces of junk. Because they're not cheap, except in construction.
