Can this take Daisy's zinc-coated steel BBs for ammo, or only plastic ammo?

It shoots zinc coated BBs..it does not shoot the airsoft plastic BBs..it also shoots metal pellets..

You can use it but you must to be carefull that they are 4.5 or .177 cal. I never used plastic on it.

Metal BBs are 17 caliber. 6 mm plastic ones are larger than 22 caliber. The metal ones would not fit tight enough in the bore. They probably wouldn't even make it out of the gun.

It's metal so it's not recommended for bb's because they may ricochet but it will stop them. You could line the inside with a phone book or putty sealant to help reduce the potential for ricochet

Metal. I prefer the silver (zinc plated) Daisy BBs, they don't leave residue in the barrel like the coppery Crossman ones can.

I believe so. However, the mechanism within the bb hopper does not load the bb's properly rendering the gun unusable. Keep shopping.

as long as they match the specs of a 6 mm plastic bb, it should work. though keep in mind that most arenas will not allow any sort of metal ammo to be used.

Only bb. Made of plastic. Fun gun shoots singles and triple shots needs a co2 cylinder. Kinda expensive

I have not tested different types of bb's. I use the Crosman copperhead premium for all my guns. I did not have any problems so far.

yeah, i ordered 2 sizes and they were not plastic. the airguns are metal but the bbs are plastic just like the orange filter. it shoots good and doesn't break when you cockthe gun back. the plastic ones broke when i did that. good luck,,,

I do not think so, but I do not know this for sure. My grandson has only used copper BBs and lead pellets. It's been a whole year since we gave it to him and he still loves that gun! I'm sorry I can't be of more help.

No.. do not buy the copper bbs for this gun.. get the silver bbs.. copper ones have imperfections that might cause a jam..

If the bbs impact over soft material, you can pick up and be reused. When hit over hard materials it break or crack, then when you reuse it clog the barrel

It takes all BBs under .25, so feel free to use what ever BBs you would like.

I do not think metal BB's would be appropriate. The written info that came with the gun says it shoots 6 mm BB's. Metal BB's are much heavier than plastic ones; with metal BB's the muzzle velocity and the effective range would be substantially less. Also, as another responder replied, the extra stress on the gun may result in internal damage. The gun comes with a starter pack of white plastic 6 mm BB's. I've been using Crosman 0.20 gram, white, biodegradable, 6 mm, precision BB's with excellent results, although I do not see much in the way of BB biodegradation, even after 6 months of exposure of several used BB's I placed in an outside flowerpot that is exposed to sun, wind, and rain.

I use the .20 gram 6mm precision bbs by crosman - they are biodegradable and are accurate and work great. Never had any problem with them.

it shot only .177 stainless steel BB's, this is not a toy, the airsoft ammo will not fit this Gun, and it is a powerfull BB gun,!!!!!! not airsoft!!!!!

No it won't ! It handles the bbs fine but I tried the pellets u mentioned and they jammed! No damage but do not recommend trying!
