No. Unless you know the BB is undamaged.

Yeah , I do , regularly pick them up from the yard , quick rinse , recirculate , no worries.
If we ever sell our joint will be a funny sight seeing the new owners picking up fluro bb's from all over the yard , thinking , what are these things?
Don't get your panties in a bunch , we still got hand weapons and the fifty!

probably too heavy to fire any decent distance, but I wouldn't mind trying 6mm paint ball bb's, splatter my back yard fence, or just have fun repainting it :D

I did but only to find out it doesn't even go through HL's barrel. HE's BB round is only 5.9mm while the bearing ball is 6.3mm. I find some guys on YouTube modifying their BB gun that it could punch through a Coke can. Don't know how they do it.

That is a fun thought but as has been said before on the Forum all's well until you get a burst "BB" in the Airsoft workings. :thumbdown:
I think I would Probably give it a miss.
