What are the best pellets/BBs used with this? Foot Lb of Energy? High FPS? Best accuracy?

I used the steel BB's from daisy and they are fairly accurate. If you want Maximum accuracy I would use pellets. I have no clue why you would need the ft lb of energy but you could probably calculate that by knowing the FPS(650-700 at 10 pumps) and the mass of the pellets/ BB's. I've noticed the accuracy depends a lot on how many pumps you use and the weather condition more than the pellets/BB's. For the price you can't go wrong.

This is actually a very good question. My model 35 was all over the place (2"+ at 10 yards) with every type of domed, hollow point, or pointed pellet. Then I tried daisy wadcutters and crosman wadcutters and they both grouped about 1/4" at 10 yards with the factory open sights. It was mind-blowing how much difference there was between these pellets and all others. Trust me on this one. I tried a LOT of different pellets and had mostly poor results.

I use Daisy Premium Grade .177 Cal, 5.1 Grains, Zinc Plated BBs. This is a smoothbore so it's best suited for BBs and pellets aren't very convenient to load in the Powerline 35. I don't see much point in spending more money on BBs than the good 'ol Daisys! My chrony says that it does produce just about the advertised velocity with 10 pumps (625 fps) for 4.42 ft - lbs of energy and I get about an inch group at 7-8 yards shot off-hand. I haven't shot enough pellets to know if they shoot any better than BBs. In his blog, Tom Gaylord reported a 3/4" ten-shot group from the Powerline 35 at 10 meters using JSB RS pellets and 10 pumps, which seemed to improve accuracy somewhat over fewer pumps. Gaylord did need to retest the gun, though. His first gun didn't shoot well and Daisy sent him another gun to test.

I just got 205 fps. with a 10.5 grain pellet and 2 pumps. It will not shoot a pellet out of the barrel with 1 pump. 2 pumps is .98 fpe.

Most .20 6mm BBs should work fine, although I've heard super cheap ones are sometimes not as good. You can go with a heavier weight, but you'll have to adjust hop-up and will get less fps. Stay away from .12s.

Fps is feet per second and 20g bbs is the size of your bbs. I've also used 6mm bbs.

Falconer's response was absolutely correct. This rifle is not designed to shoot BBs. It will shoot high quality pellets accurately and consistently.

It is rated at 800 fps with BB's and 750 with light pellets.ThanksPyramyd Air Team

These pellets definitely hit hard, but you need the power for them. An air rifle with >20 fpe (PCP) is pretty much required to keep from lobbing these pellets too much. You could give an 18.13 gr Jumbo Heavy Exact pellet a try before you jump up to these beasts. Check out Hawke's Chair Gun application to check out down range energy and trajectories. You will get 90% kinetic energy and 80% velocity at ~ 30 yards (~500 fps.) with a 20 fpe gun.

I would suggest upgrading the battery to increase rate of fire and it will shoot 426 with .12 gram BBs but I wouldn't recommend doing that I would get a heavier bb lik .2 or .25

I've chronographed BB's at 740fps. Haven't measured pellets. If you're using pellets, this will be just as slow to load as your breakneck; loading 1 at a time. BB's are much faster to load but not as accurate.

I have had the best luck with the jsb exact diablo 8.4gr as far as power and accuracy goes. I have a umarex octaine .177 that I have found to be very picky with pellets. Yours may differ...For what it's worth I would recommend trying a few different different brands and weights to see what shoots best for you

After some thousands of shots, I would recommend the best pellets as follows:For target practice:1.- RWS Meisterkugeln (yellow color tag)2.- Crosman MatchFor hunting:1.- RWS domed2.- Crosman hollow pointGamo pellets are bad as the worst, don´t waste your money.Greetings

I would not recommend shooting it with pellets. A low power bb gun might work but the target is really intended for airsoft bb's.

That will depend entirely on the weight of the pellet. The gun is rated at 1650 fps with lightweight PBA ammo. I would not recommend using that as it can damage the gun internally. I would go for something 10 grains or heavier, that should bring the velocity down into a more acceptable and more accurate range. Thanks Pyramyd Air Team

I'm going to say right now that I have never seen a fully automatic Airsoft gun that shoots around 80-100 feet per second. Meters per second is another thing. This Airsoft AK47 has a muzzle velocity of roughly 350-375 FEET per second (that is roughly 117-150 METERS per second). Not sure what "diabolol" pellets are. This Airsoft gun fires .6mm plastic bbs. You can use glow in the dark, colored, marking (usually voids warranties though), biodegradable bbs, and different weighted bbs (.2 gram plastic bbs seem to work best, but I have heard that .23 work well too). At the time that I purchased this particular model, I paid roughly $125. For $150 (not including tax) you can go to airsoftmegastore.com and get a G&G M4. I think the M4 would be a better option because it was A) nicer quality B) better performance and C) a more durable gun. This AK47 fell apart after a while, and I am now just attempting to salvage parts. However, my M4 is working splendidly and has suffered much misuse and still continues to function well. All in all, this was a decent gun for the price. I don't regret buying it, but I wouldn't buy another. Also, I bought this gun three (and a half I think) years ago. I used it many times and enjoyed using it every time, but I personally prefer my M4. It is better and has a different feel. That being said, I was never disappointed when I traded and got the AK instead of the M4 during our little skirmishes. I believe this answered your question. If you have more, please feel free to ask.

Some say 25-30 yards brings the best accuracy. I have yet to go any further than that. Go to Pyramyd Air.com to see full reviews of thus rifle. that is the best response I can give Sir.

jeez steph. zack, idk what the fps is, but shes a nut :3 .2gram isnt the size of the bbs. 6mm is the size. .12 to .25 would be most reliable. id say its about 250-300 fps

NOT airsoft pellets. It uses .177 caliber pellets which are readily available in many makes, brands, and weights! Alloy pellets do shoot 1200 fps, but are very inaccurate in my gun. Lead pellets in the 7 - 7.5 grain weight shoot 1000 + fps and usually are very accurate as are many heavier lead pellets!
