Buying BBs

[NATOAho]

Just got an Echo I AK, looking to buy BBs.
Any stores I can get decent ones? I would just order them online, but im hoping to have them by tomorrow. From what I've read, CT and Walmart suck for this sorta thing?

What are the best brands?

Thanks.

Since you're in Ontario, BB Bastard, you might even be able to find a local bastard tomorrow.
Click under Canadian Retailers up top ^^^

Also, you can order from BBS on the boards here, pretty good prices, and also eHobby, which has good prices as well. www.ehobbyasia.com

Generally, BB Bastards are quite literally, the best BBs you can buy. No matter what you hear or anything, Bastards are top notch. dont cheap out, Bastards are the way to go. Even if you want .3g, dont buy the KSC (while good), they are not as good as Bastards.

correct, BB bastard .30g BBs are sniper grade, it cant compare with KSC .30g BBs.

if you have a Echo 1 AK variant, your best bet is to use .25g or .28g.
Commonly used brands: BB Bastards, KSC, Excel, TM, Maruzen etc. basically, anything but CT and walmart crap and it has to be without visible seamlines, odd shapes and sizes.

Where do Crossman BB's fit on this scale.

I do agree, I am a fan of the Bastards.. They have always worked great with no problems.

ironically, i think the BBs commonly used by typical airsofters (bastards, KSC, TM, Excel etc.) will be better suited in crossman BB guns compared to crossman's own line of BBs.

And BB Bastards has the best image on their logo too.

That is really important.

Well yes that's true. I don't know how that's ironic though. Crosman BB's are shit, those other BB's aren't. They'll work better in ANY gun!

[BBS]

well i think its ironic because the BBs crossman desgined for their own brand of guns, suck shit, and its not as suitable even for their own, crossman guns. Another crossman gun using KSCs or what not will out perform a crossman gun using crossman bbs.

The only thing that crossmans could be good for would be to put in something like a claymore or even a grenade if you were desperate. I wouldn't want to waste quality bbs for something that isn't going to travel very far.

It's not likely they design or produce their own BB's. It's most likely a cheap Chinese company they buy them from that has no QC at all. Lol.
