martyboy10 Posted September 27, 2014 Posted September 27, 2014 I'm new to the airsoft world and need advice please my friend gave me his sig sauer gsr 4.5mm metal bb co2 pistol its been two toned. I would like to know if i can use plastic bbs instead of metal bbs Thanks
Supporters jcheeseright Posted September 27, 2014 Supporters Posted September 27, 2014 fuck no. Those things are absolutely lethal, mate of mine fired one clean through 8 beer cans.
martyboy10 Posted September 27, 2014 Author Posted September 27, 2014 Yeah i know its very powerful only using it for target practice just wondered if i could use plastic bbs instead of the metal bbs Thanks
Supporters jcheeseright Posted September 27, 2014 Supporters Posted September 27, 2014 Nope, even if you could find plastic .177 BBs you'd never pass chrono and you WOULD end up hurting someone if you did somehow manage to sneak it past the chrono.
martyboy10 Posted September 27, 2014 Author Posted September 27, 2014 I never intended to use it for anything other than target practice but was considering swapping for something I could use for target practice and out against others.
Supporters jcheeseright Posted September 27, 2014 Supporters Posted September 27, 2014 Shooting targets / tin cans is pretty much all it's good for (and what they're sold for too!). If you want to shoot people, you'll need to get a 6mm (or 8mm if you're loaded and a bit simple) airsoft gun, gas blowback guns from Tokyo Marui and WE are your best bet. Tokyo Marui are (arguably) better performers but they're plastic, while WE are often made of metal but don't perform quite as well. SRC/HFC/etc should be avoided really for pistols, 99.99% of the time they're rubbish. Airsoft_Mr B 1
Airsoft_Mr B Posted September 27, 2014 Posted September 27, 2014 No! BB guns aren't for airsoft! Besides, airsoft pellets are 6mm. You can't get 4.5mm plastic BBs.
martyboy10 Posted September 27, 2014 Author Posted September 27, 2014 Thanks for the advice i know what i need to buy to be able to shoot people and I've already been looking at a few but just undecided for now. I put this post on as i wasn't sure if I could get or use plastic bbs with this gun instead of metal ones for target practice nothing else as i already new it wasn't for shooting people Thanks again
