Airsoft

All bbs are 6mm unless it says 8mm. For a gun with that fps, i recommend using .25g. This will make the fps go down by a bit, but will greatly improve accuracy and range. Do not use .12g.

Thanks wild!

I always used .20g white BBs, you'll lose a bit of range but anything lighter than that and they carry with the slightest breeze.

Default BBs are 6mm, unless that page says they're anything different (I didn't see anything) they should be 6mm.

Thank you very much.  I wasn't sure about the weights, sizes, etc.

I have played paintball.  

Hurts like hell though and you really don't have the space to move around.  The airsoft field I'm playing at has 75 acres of land.

Haha. I'm actually trying to open a paintball field. My grandmother is letting me use 173 acres down in Live Oak, FL.

Thinking maybe four fields.

Two wood-ball and two tournament style (Speed-ball) fields.

You should really use .25g or heavier if you're breaking 300fps. They carry energy better, work better in conjunction with the hop-up and are less affected by the wind.

Thanks Motherland.


Very nice, Marine.  I live about 20 min from Orlando.

Wait I'm confused.  6mm is always the default?

even if it's different weights?

Yes.

There are only a few (1-2 at most) manufacturers that make any 8mm guns (Marushin or Maruzen and I think maybe Tanaka maybe are the only ones that come to mind), and even they make 6mm guns mostly.
You'll know if you're buying 8mm BB's because you'll get like 500 in a $30 pack.

I'm going to probably get the KingArms M1A1 Thompson,  It can shoot around 512 fps, what kind of bb would get that down to 400-450?

Very cool video Marine,  Was that a scripted match?  The Iwo Jima thing at the end was pretty cool.

Not sure. I wasn't there. No deserts where I live...just lots and lots of woods.

I heard someone say that the .20g bbs will reduce the fps by a decent amount, can anyone confirm?

You'll lose a bit of range, but .20g+ are 100x more accurate than .12g.

.12g BBs will still curve left, right, up, down if you have a hop-up.

Ace, for a gun with that high fps, go with .25 or .28. Fps is not everything, and these heavier bb's will increase your accuracy and range tremendously.

[AceHavok]

Yeah, I called up the field and they said that what it says on the box is a very slim chance that it actually goes 512fps.
