Are metal BBs appropriate for ammo?

A cording to the company "no" mainly because it is composed of primary plastic, but the plastic is very good.

No, the gun is designed for plastic BBs. Metal ones would likely drop too much when shot or even damage the barrel.

Yes I use those myself and a pair of marine anti shatter goggles metal bbs cannot penetrate those.

I do not think metal BB's would be appropriate. The written info that came with the gun says it shoots 6 mm BB's. Metal BB's are much heavier than plastic ones; with metal BB's the muzzle velocity and the effective range would be substantially less. Also, as another responder replied, the extra stress on the gun may result in internal damage. The gun comes with a starter pack of white plastic 6 mm BB's. I've been using Crosman 0.20 gram, white, biodegradable, 6 mm, precision BB's with excellent results, although I do not see much in the way of BB biodegradation, even after 6 months of exposure of several used BB's I placed in an outside flowerpot that is exposed to sun, wind, and rain.

Cheap bb's, including the ones that come with the M1911, have a reputation for causing jamming problems--I experienced some myself. I switched to a high-quality seamless .20 g bb and I recommend that you use these from the start. I think that MetalTac® Airsoft BBs 0.20g 1,000 Round 6mm BBs Airsoft Pellets for airsoft bb guns, available here on Amazon, would fill the bill.

I do not know. I only used plastic BBs. This gun is heavy, has heavy duty spring and does shoot far.

It's metal so it's not recommended for bb's because they may ricochet but it will stop them. You could line the inside with a phone book or putty sealant to help reduce the potential for ricochet

Don't know: I haven't seen any issue using the steel BBs, but I know some people only put lead pellets through it. (Also be aware, copper BBs are only copper coated). It's a great plinking rifle.

I wouldnt do it. BB are hard and will eventualy cause early wear. Pellets are lead and soft.

Strongly recommend against using metal BB's or anything other than plastic soft air BB's going less than 500 fps. Even a slingshot with platic BB's will go through the netting.

No. These are 6.0 mm BBs for soft air rifles, not BB guns. You will need a 4.5 mm metal BB for your BB gun.

If you are using steel BBs shot into a baffled trap; i.e. cloth shields inside to prevent direct impact with the metal, they're okay to reuse. I have a cup of BBs that I've reused for over six months with no problem. Lead BBs are another issue as they will deform or even shatter.

No, this gun shoots BBs only! The manufacturer also states the owner should use copper-coated BBs only.

I would not recommend it for use with any BB firing gun whether they be plastic or steel. You will have a lot of ricochet issues.ThanksPyramyd Air Team

This is not ammo, this is the brass for you to load your own ammunition. The quality of the ammunition you fire in the range will depend on your loading techniques, the powder you use, the load you feed the brass, etc., etc.. This brass has been fired once and after inspecting the ones I received, out of 1,000, I rejected one, so that's a great percentage there. I hope I have answered your question. Good shooting. Stay safe and blessed.

all guns can use .2g bb's. as long as its 6mm, it should work. standard is .12g and as you go up in weight/mass of the bb the velocity goes down.

It all depends on the fps... however airsoft bbs are plastic so unless were talking metal bbs you'll be fine

It takes metal .177 caliber bb's. It wouldn't hurt cause they would simply not fit. Plastic bb's are 6mm. A .22 is 5.56 mm. Airsoft bb's won't even fit down a .22 barrel, I've tried. .177 is 4.5 mm, not even close. They make this exact gun I'm airsoft though. Check out Amazon seller pyramid air they rule.
