Which bbs should you use for an airsoft gun that shoots at around 340 fps?

Answer 1

It depends on what level of pain you want to deliver and on your gun's fps. Say your gun shoots 480 fps like mine: .12 gram bbs are standard and don't hurt too much, .20 gram bbs hurt more but my fps is reduced, .25 gram bbs are the heaviest you can buy and hurt the most but reduce my fps to about 400 or so.

Answer 2

0.20 gr good quality plastic BBs (polished and/or coated) from any manufacturer. 0.12 gr is too light. It'll just fly away from your target at about 10 m. 0.25 gr is too heavy. It'll drop before it reach your target at 10 m (even though if you set your hop up to max).

Answer 3

NEVER use any .12g BB, that includes the ones found in sporting goods stores. Why? Short answer: they're crap quality and will destroy the internals of your gun.

The most common BBs are .2g and .25g, I recommend these for CQB environments. .2g is just your average BB, if you want something more accurate, go for the .25s.

For outdoor play, I recommend at least .25g BBs for AEGs, and .28g BBs for snipers, although it would be alright to try .25s.

Good brands are Bioval (for those environmental enthusiasts), G&G, Goldenball, Madbull, to name a few...

Note: Yes, heavier BBs go slower (muzzle energy is still the same, however), but are more accurate the heavier you go.

for speed but not that much accuracy, us .12gram bb's.

for slightly less speed but good accuracy us .20gram bb's.

don't use .25grams or more because they tend to go alot slower and arent that accurate.

for AEG's I'd recommend 20g's. if your sniping, there's a bb weight called 23g, and i'd actually recommend that. for any gun with an fps less than 250 use 12g's. if your gun has a fixed hop up, take notice of the weight of the bb that comes with the gun, because that's the weight the hop up is adjusted for.
