Are the bbs metal or plastic

The ones that it comes with are plastic... but it can shoot the metal bbs if they are the correct size.

The majority of the gun is plastic, but the cocking assembly, the rear sight (and sight knobs), the outer barrel, inner barrel, the front bottom rail, and front sling mount are metal. The magazine is the most durable feeling of the plastics, because I honestly thought bit was metal for a little while. The plastic on the body does feel a bit on the cheap side, but it is pretty durable. But like all plastic bodies, if you care for it, it will be fine.

Just normal 6mm airsoft style plastic BBs. Either .12 or .20 gram BBs shoot well in my experience.

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.

yes, they are made of plastic. Quality is decent for a gun in this price range but be careful not to over-tighten the silencer.

I think they are polymer and metal, maybe aluminum. I have a set of these and they are very good. Didn't see any reason to buy $250+ metal sights when I could get these for around $100 and they're spring loaded popup. Have an an AR I built myself and they're fine.

Don't know: I haven't seen any issue using the steel BBs, but I know some people only put lead pellets through it. (Also be aware, copper BBs are only copper coated). It's a great plinking rifle.

They are metal. Not heavy duty but good enough for normal household use. Good buy for the $$.

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.

i think metal. the butt of the gun (the brown handle part) is a hard plastic ,.. the inside part that holds the paper roll is metal

It only takes 4.5mm steel or copper bb's, plastic 6mm airsoft bb's will not work in this gun

I don't know, i have used plastic airsoft .15, .20, and .25, not sure about metal though.

It"s plastic but for what you you pay for it's a pretty good buy. Shoots every time and is as accurate as a BB only gun can be.

The only part of the gun that seems to be metal is the cylinder rod. The body, barrel, hammer, and trigger are all plastic.
