BB's? These ok for the mechanism?

Post by GreyAce »

I haven't got any BB's yet for the tank and I know the standard ones in the box are rubbish and shouldn't be used,are these OK? I will order them if so,I don't want to jam the mechanism of the gun.

They should be much better than those added to models that have a sharp edge sometimes.

Asking first is the best way. The only place fit for those BB's that came with the tank is the bin 👍🏻

Yeah definitely for the bin indeed,the tank was expensive so it makes sense to use good BB's in it,only the best for our babies lol.

Things like this do make me chuckle, where people openly release their inner child :D
