What type of BBs do you use?

What type of BBs do you guys primarily use with your rifles and why? What brands, weight, etc. In the past I've always used .25s with my guns, but once my birthday comes around and I buy my sniper rifle, I'd like to have some sort of idea on what gram of bbs I should use. Thanks- Capt-Crowbar/Crunch

.20's in my G&G, .25's in my 1911, and .23's in the Cyma AK.
Hoping to get all the guns on a level field so I can just run .25's in everything...but thats still a long ways off.

.30 Perfect KSC's with a upgraded CA 8-2

Heres a link to a article on BB's for you to consider

Already read it. Thanks, though.

I roll with Matrix .23s and .20s in both my replicas. I may start to upgrade to a higher weight soon, though.

I use .23's or .20's

Any preffered brands that you guys use? If so, why?

Matrix because that's what my old field sold me, haha.

Ive been using G&G .28s because they are right in the middle for sniper rifle weight BBs....

im using 20 right now but i want to try 30 in my l96

G&G .20's work great in my KWA.

Ok. Another question: if I were to upgrade my barrel to a 6.01 tight bore, what gram and or brand of bbs do you recommend?

I would Super grand master .29's but its $15 for 500. I just use Goldenball .3's.

I would use SGM's KSC or Golden balls for an 6.01.

Just buy from a Trustable manufacturer and make sure they are polished!

.36's in the rifle, .20's in the m9

Holy Sh1t, you're alive!

I use some crappy wal mart bb's but am upgrading to .3 madbull seamless

BBs
Select Weight Below
Don't know what weight of BBs your gun needs? Here are a few guidelines:
We recommend using heavier BBs for more powerful airsoft guns for greater accuracy.
Metal gear AEGs should use .20 gram BBs or higher.
Bolt action snipers should .25 gram BBs or higher for higher accuracy.
Greater BB weight increases accuracy but lowers velocity.
Less expensive guns ($50 or less range) should generally use .12 gram BBs

Interesting.

Any way you can send me a sample packet of some of your bb's?
I'll gladly review them here, on the "airsoft" facebook page, and will promote your brand on my team.

Would love to check your product out, I'm tired of the BB's that are currently on the market.

YA YA YA, double post.

Hey guys, I got a response from the sales department at CYC...they're going to send me a sample pack of BBs.
What kind should I ask for? I'm going to ask for .20's, but want to know if anyone wants to see a review of a different mass.

EDIT: Ok I asked for .23's instead of .20's.

EDIT 2: So my final request was for .23's and asked that they include a small amount of their biodegradable BB's. Might as well see how those perform and if they actually break down, unlike the ones Carp tested on CQB radio.

Interesting... let us know the results.
