what is the best penetrating bb, copper plated or the zinc plated ?

To the best of my knowledge, given the caliber and mass of the projectile, in combination with the velocity of the airgun in question, the penetration difference between the two projectiles would amount literally to how many pages of paper in a phone book, or sheets of paper in a newspaper. Ballistic gelatin may provide a greater differential in results, and to be definitive, perhaps making two blocks of jello to use for target comparison would give you an informative result. The short answer in my opinion is that the difference would be negligible.

the zinc because they are denser penetrate deeper and the zinc does not ruin the rifling over time and if you have a fast enough pellet/bb or bb gun the zincs work better for hunting and they tend to expand just slightly instead of ricochet which again makes them better for hunting and makes them safer.

I suggest using 0.20g bbs. They give you the highest fps while also giving the best accuracy.

copper plated. Work great. Already used them 3 times. The extra length sounds excessive, but they are very useful when you have a large vehicle trapped in a small garage with limited access. My son bought me a set for my birthday, and I bought him a set for Christmas.

You can search for them here on amazon just put 0.177 bb bullets and as far as I know only metal ones are compatible with this gun

It varies. the cheapest wire is plated over brass. it's good wire to learn as it is cheaper. Gold filled wire is filled with a gold alloy, what I don't know. Sterling silver is not plated. my knowledge is new and I recommend checking into riogrande.com as they give a full explanation.

Brass is warmer, the chrome is industrial. I prefer the warmth of brass, but of all my zippos, the copper finish is my favorite.

Brass plated. Great pens. I have two and keep them with me at work. Only problem I found was that I prefer a fine tip, so I got those refills to replace the stock medium point that come with the pens.

Do you know what kind of metal it is? This is supposed to work on brass, copper, bronze, and some nickle pieces. Mostly I have used it on silver plated pieces where the base metal (brass) is showing through. It seems VERY hit or miss, in some places it improves the look impressively in others it will not seem to take.

any standard BBs work in this gun but the copper coated ones are nice,just go to walmart and buy a big box of BBs and shoot away.

You can use the stock hammer, just keep in mind that the nickel boron is a more durable material so your stock hammer may get worn from constant hitting against the NIB-X BCG. i recommend using the NIX-X Hammer.

Works well on solid brass. Be careful with brass plated items due to the thinness of plating.

Most have been shot out of sub-machine guns. I'd go elsewhere for brass. They are not deprimed.

Yes, they will. I have a c11. The best BBs I've found is the Daisy Zinc Plated 4.5 mm.

I would assume steel but I dont actually know. For something that might take a bang by accident from time to time I would think steel, brass is just too soft and would dent resulting in the chrome flaking off .

Barrel,shroud,bolt,and internal components are all steel.The grip and receiver are a tough composite plastic.the drozd is great for plinking and is easy to load,but if you want knock down power for larger pests . I would recomend smg22
