can this item use plastic bbs and if so will it reduce the fps

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.

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

This pistol uses .177 cal. bbs, or the small round silver ones. The magazine is only equipped to handle these small metal BBs. Generally speaking, I have found that if the pistol has an orange tip to it, it will fire the plastic BBs. No orange tip, use metal small .177 cal. BBs.

Any AirSoft bbs I've seen (kid across the way has one, and I constantly find the bbs in my yard) appear to be of larger diameter than metal bbs. Besides, I wonder if the soft texture of Airsoft bbs might foul a bb gun.

It looks like the model that came up with your question is indeed the steel bb version. I had a heck of a time sorting out the airsoft plastic bb version from the steel bb one before I placed my order. The descriptions on the webpages don't always make it clear which one you're looking at, so you have to be really careful before ordering.

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

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 would recommend that you look elsewhere. The quality of this product is more geared towards less than 1000 fps. BB's would improve life. This is better used for a BB pistol.

Everything would "work" on this, with 300fps you hear the ping and see a slight movement of the target. Its a neat little target for any airsoft gun. But dont expect the targets to go spinning around in circles with an airsoft gun. I have one that shoots 650fps and even that doesnt get them to spin

I would not recommend it for use with any BB firing gun whether they be plastic or steel. You will have a lot of ricochet issues. Thanks Pyramyd Air Team

Airsoft guns and pistols shoot tiny plastic bb's, not metal bb's. Most likely you are thinking of pellet guns. Those shoot metal bb's. This gun shoots the plastic bb's.

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!

i don't think they would ruin it, over time steel BBs will wear on the barrel but i would think that would take a long time and it wouldn't make any difference if you always shot BBs. My answer is No.

I used this item before for airsoft in the past, and you need a protective cover if you play any where that allows 350 fps or higher. But that speed would break any red dot or scope.

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 don't see why not. I know the fps is faster but you should be ok with it. You will need to make sure you stake it will with the rods they give go, otherwise all systems go. Have gun with it... I have fun with mine.

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

I assume that it would as it's range is 30 to 7000 feet per second.It worked on steel BB at 210 fps from a Daisy Red Ryder.

With the CYMA MP5 I was using .12g "ultrasonic" green BBs. The BBs worked fine in all the other airsoft guns we had, so BBs were not a problem. When I purchased a better airsoft mp5 I switched to Airsoft Elite .2g BBs.
