BBs and saving money

IS there any way to reuse bbs. I know it is bad to reuse them but if you were to pick them up and wash them and then wash them again would it be ok to reuse them?

No sometimes little pieces of the bb will chip allthough you can't see it very well it can mess up your hup up and your barrel and everything else it touches. Never reuse bb's.

I made this mistake with my first springers. The round shape can be messed up when the BB strikes a solid object, and this will jam even in the cheapest of guns.

Ok Thats what I was thinking but I wanted to make sure. I am cheap so I try to get every penny I use count.

Depending on the weapon you use, get some Crosmans from Walmart. They're cheap and the .20's seem mid-range in quality. You can pick up 5,000 for less than $10, and unless you play frequently they should last a long time. Spending money on decent BBs may seem annoying at first, but buying a new gun or hop up due to cheap BBs is more annoying.

lol yea those bbs won't work to well for me. I was just wondering cause I just bought 2 2000 packs of high persion bbs for Christmas and now I only have around 200 bbs left. So I was just hoping I could save around a dollor per bag and evnetually I would have money save for more airsoftign stuff if I could just wash and cleen the bbs.

Those crossman bbs are horrible I can't stand them they would jam my guns even the cheap ones I played with last year.

when you shoot a bb it always gets damaged but some times the damage is not as visible as other times... and this is how you scratch your inner barrel and rip your hop up bucking.

I'll restate what everyone else has already said - never reuse BBs. The couple bucks you may save is not near worth the money you'll be spending on repairs for damages it may cause to your gun, as well as the time spent in fixing the jams it'll more than likely cause. BBs are CHEAP. Maybe it's easier for me to say that because I used to play paintball where I was paying $10-$15 per 100-150 paintballs, but I'm still very pleased with the decent prices of even the highest-end BBs.

Where I may differ from other players, although probably not many on this forum, I'm all for Crossman BBs. They're not terrible BBs for the price. If you have a stock gun with a standard barrel (6.08mm+ inner barrel diameter), then by all means go for the cheap stuff. I have had a few problems with jamming from them, but for the thousands I used to put through my guns it wasn't that bad. If you can afford the extra cash to spend on nicer BBs, I'd definitely recommend it. I personally made the switch from Crossman's to nicer BBs (KSC Perfects) years ago and haven't regretted it since. But again, if you can't afford to make that switch, then no big deal.

Ya noone will get on you about what bb's you use as long as they are .2g or higher otherwise the .12 are just as good as the used bb's.
