.177" BBs

Post by varunik » Tue Jun 12, 2012 1:57 am

My friend sent me a link of an Airgun revolver.

While i checked it out, i noticed the specs said it shoots .177" BBs

What are .177" BBs? Are they round pellets only or BBs?

Secondly, 6mm BBs are available in a toy shop. So are .177' BBs even available in India?
So many times, it happens too fast
You trade your passion for glory
Don't lose your grip on the dreams of the past
You must fight just to keep them alive

It's the eye of the tiger
It's the thrill of the fight
Risin' up to the challenge
Of our rival
And the last known survivor
Stalks his prey in the night
And he's watching us all with the
Eye of the tiger

.177'' BBs are basically steel BBs. Most .177 airguns fire both pellets or BBs. But there are specific models like the Sig Sauer 226 X5 which shoot only .177 BBs

Yes .177 bbs are available for the Blanca air pistol. So a shop selling them should have a supply of BBs.

BB's are mostly made of Steel, coz most CO2 guns uses magnetic mechanism to load them in to chamber,

Few guns uses kind a magazine system where BB dont have to be made of steel,

I have Gamo BB's in .177 which are made of Lead, fits perfect in HW 30, and hits harder accurately up to 30-40 yds
in diana 35 they dont fit snugly hence no accurate at same distance
