.12 bbs

Jun 30, 2009 10:19pm
I wanted to get some .12's for my tri-shot to use indoors since the spread is so wide. Is there any brand that won't fuck my gun up beyond all repair?

Your best bet for decent .12g bbs is Airsplat brand. They tend to be somewhat more consistent in their quality control then other manufacterers of cheap bbs.

Good move on using the .12 in your shotty, I've been doing that for a while too, I got some polished no seam, precision (I didn't think those existed) .12 at gamepod, work really good and hit hard since they're so light, no jams at all and I've been through a couple bags.
Look its a bird its a plane, no its just my broken aeg flying all over the place.

I always advise against using .12g bbs in multi-shot spring guns because they're often the cause of feeding issues. My TM M3 S90 didn't like the .12's because they were too light to stay on the feed ramp perfectly while on the move - I've had the best success with .20 or .23 gram bbs

oh, and BTW the bbs will not mess up your shotgun - what will mess it up is if you aren't paying attention to how the chambering of those rounds feels and accidentally fire the gun without all of the bbs being properly seated. It will destroy the tri-nozzle and you will have a nice movie prop :lol:
