Can you shoot metal bbs with this gun?

I do not know. I only used plastic BBs. This gun is heavy, has heavy duty spring and does shoot far.

I suppose so, but do not recommend it, because inside is a plastic part that is not very strong, broke two months after purchasing it and now does not work

You cannot use metal BB's. Metal BB's are a smaller diameter and are to heavy I imagine. Hope that answers your question.

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.

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.

no plastic bbs do not work this i just tryed it out. The airsoft guns arent powerful enough they just bounce off and dont drop the target.

No. As it says in the description, "Use lead pellets ONLY." BBs are much harder than pellets and can ricochet and cause serious injury.

Its not a real weapon its shoots metal bb's its still dangerous but an awesome way to have fun without purchasing a real firearm.

Not good those plastic balls an steel bbs will bounce back at you. Should only shoot lead pellets at STEEL TARGETS . Id say no closer then 20 yards. Then wear safety glasses your eyes are very important

Yes, the cartridges / bullets holds the bb's. So you have six shots, then you reload. Loading bb's is so much more fun with this gun. This is the best bb gun I've ever owned! Good price & lots of fun... I don't think you'll be disappointed at all.

I think you can , I do. Its not much loader than a bb gun. It does make a pop noise but not real loud.Good luck they are fun.

The pistol is intended for standard .177 cal metal BBs. If you use plastic BBs they must be the same caliber. The fps will increase but the accuracy and penetration charactersitics will degrade due to the less weight of plastic.

No, it uses .177 copper-coated BBs or steel BBs. Plastic BBs, to my knowledge are ~.240 or .43 caliber.

The gun I got did not come with bb s.. They are cheap and can be found here on Amazin..

No, It only can fire metal bb's. It is not an airsoft gun by any means. I own a real Walther p22 and this gun feels and operates like the real thing. This is a great air pistol. I would say it is the best one I have ever owned. You won't be disappointed.I bought the laser sight for it also. VERY powerful semi auto air gun.

I don't beleive so, although I'm not certain. FWIW, I would not suggest this model. I bought for my ten year old son because his friends have different types, and this is like a toy. The BB's are extremely hard to load, and after a few weeks it stopped shooting altogether.

This is not an air soft gun, though it may shoot them, it is not designed for them. Of course I guess you could use BBs and be the last one standing. Just joking, Do not use BBs to shoot at anyone.

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

Probably not. I shot a Co2 pistol at it. It was loaded with metal BB's.The BB's went right through the net and bounced off the wall behind it. It's only good for guns that shoot plastic BB's.

I would recommend sticking to standard BB's and Pellets and only shoot at targets. If your intent is to use the plastic BB's and this as an Airsoft gun, CO2 powered plastic BB's are going to hurt!

Nah, it only shoots the little metal bbs. First thing I tried to do was shoot airsoft bbs but the barrel is too narrow.
