Wondering what the general concensus is on bb brands. If you could give a reason as to why you chose which, that would be great. I currently use Killer Bees, but they are a bit expensive, and don't come in a heavier weight for my snipers...do you recomend any brand for the heavier bb's? I've heard some good and some bad about Digicon...but I'm not decided as of yet...
Thanks

I use Excels. I've always bought them, and they have never provided me with a problem. Never had a single jam in any of my guns.

I used to use Excells but I switched to TM. They seem to be a bit better but I mostly got them for the killer deal I had at the time.

I'm with Jacko on this one. Since I've switched to classics and modern classics, I've noticed that TM BBs feed much better in those guns than Excels. In the classic community, Excels are known for being on the small side of 6mm. This aids in feeding for AEGs and some GBB pistols and SMGs (MAC11 owners, I'm talking to you here), so those of you with feeding problems might want to think about Excels.

I went with other. I use KSC and the new Mad Bull bb's. I have tested the MadBull bb's, and They have yet to displease me for their .2, .23 and .25 bb's. I go with KSC perfect bb's if there is nothign else available because I have used them since the start of my airsoft career, and I have never had a jam or misfire or anything with them. So untill they give me problems, They will remain my go-to bb for skirmishes when I can't get my hands on the Mad Bull ones.. I have also used Airsoft Elite bb's, but I just didnt like them. I don't know if maybe I got a bad bag, or what, but the ones I had were not as polished as the KSC's that I am used to, but instead were more on the somewhat rough and dry side, so that was a bit of a turnoff. I have no xp with Excells, Marui's, or the Killer Bees so I can'y really say about them.

As for right now, I'm sticking with Killer Bees. They're really amazing BB's and shoot much cleaner from my guns than anything else I've tried. I've used cybergun ammo before. It's better than shooting .12s but it's not something I'd reccomend. Crossman BB's are of a decent quality, but aren't something I'd use in a Tightbore. I've also used Stealth which are also great BB's next in line I've tried behind Killer Bees.

I shoot .28's and .30. I dont have a lot of options because of price and availability. So far Ive only shot the Flycolors .30s (bought 2000 from Doc/Viper) which agree with my hop-up. I wanted to experiment so I went and purchase a bag of Killer Beez .28's (bough 3000 from Skypilot). The Killer beez actual shoot just as good as the Flyingcolors. I didnt need to adjust my hop-up. They tend to go a bit shorter than the .30s but thats only a loss of 15feet and thats not bad for a non adjusted hop-up. Im sure I could zone in on the sweet spot if I adjusted my hop-up.

I shoot excels. I've tried AE bbs, and was never happy with them, lots of out-of round and broken bbs in the bags I've gotten. Since the excels have always worked well for me, I haven't seen any reason to try something else.

I have used both Excel and (here comes the laughter) Crossman. I really have not seen a difference between them. I get 5000 crossman from Walmart for $10.43, I do not have missfeed issues or jambs.

I usually go for whatever is the cheapest. I mean, if it's complete crap I won't get it, but generally speaking.. If I can save a buck here or there, it doesn't matter. It's like cigarettes, people say that one taste better than the other, but it'll still make you die in the end.

Has anybody had issues with bb's being too smooth and not catching the hop up unit? I thought I might have had that problem once...or is that not something that happens? joat |

I think it would be a bucking problem then. The buckings are made to receive the BBs smoothly.

Yea i use excells. I have always used excells. I have a madbull tight bore and I have gone through maybe 100,000 bb's this year. Yes 100 thousand. I have had maybe one or two jams. The best part was that one time it was from a dirty bb that must have been picked off the ground.
All winter all we did was use bags of bb's every weekend in doors. Awesome times.

Most of the time I got with TSD .20g's but if I'm in a pinch I'll snag some Crosman's from Walmart. I've used about 10k Crosman's so far without a problem in a 6.03mm tight bore. They seem to be pretty good quality and 5k for 10 bucks ain't too bad.
