Let's talk about Airsoft BB and Pellet Guns.
What brands do you like? And which do you prefer? BB or Pellet?

BB or Pellet?
- Thread starter couture
- Start date
This isn't an airsoft forum. You play airsoft with these airguns and you'll likely end up getting smacked and tossed in the back of a cop car.
Pellet all day though. Much better accuracy and significantly lower chances of a ricochet.

I've used some of it in training for firearms stuff. Mostly with SWAT teams. It was always with simunition until the transition to the airsoft bb equipment. Very useful to not have to wear earmuffs or worry about a bullet leaving the range (or entering a trainee).

Pellets don't bounce off of metal targets like bbs.
I like the lead ball "pellet" but they are dirty to the fingers

Yeah, lets not talk about Airsoft. Not a thing in this forum, or anyone else that I know.
Not saying that the Airsoft thing is a bad thing, just not fitting well around this forum.

In some airguns like a Daisy 901 you can shoot both but BBs will ruin your barell. Pellets all the way

Have never owned a airsoft. I do like shooting older bb guns both pistols and rifles. They have their place. Plinkin indoors, a quick five minute shoot anywhere, killing plastic army men or dinosaurs.
Also enjoy shooting old youth springers. A in-between for plinking with more power and accurately.
For serious shooting pellet guns all the way.
A couple of my walls of BB gun shame.

BB guns are a big reason that airguns are so popular today.BB guns are for children.
Pellet guns are for LARGER children!

Airsoft bb - 6 mm, plastic.
Airgun bb - ~4.5mm steel, sometimes lead.
Which at you talking about?
Airgun pellet - 4.5 mm, 5mm, 5,5mm and larger. Lead or eco-friendly non-lead alloys. Different animal than either bb.

Air soft has its place. They are great for teaching tools for getting kid started with the fundamentals of hunting. When they're ready for pellets you and they will know how to be both safe and ethical. Every shot counts

Just a note, there is NOTHING SOFT about an 'air soft', they will absolutely shred an aluminum can. I use them for my handgun training. I use my pellet guns to refine my long arm technique.

I love my Daisy 35 bb shooters. They're really accurate for smoothbores. I like them so much that I bought a 3rd one and put a rifled barrel on it for pellets.
