Elements That Guide Your Choice of Airsoft BBs for Your Electric Rifle

 You will choose from a spring, gas, and electric rifle for your airsoft game. Most people settle for electric airsoft guns because they are cheaper, easier to maintain, and more efficient than other options. They also offer users a variety of choices and consistent performance. To guarantee the best experience when playing, you need the right BB pellets. Below are the primary aspects on which you should base your choice of BBs.

Weight

Airsoft BBs are available in weights of 0.12g, 0-30-0.43g, 0.28g, 0.25g, and 0.20g. 0.12g is suited for close-range shooting that needs less than 250FPS. 0.20, 0.25, and 0.28g BBs are mid-range pellets. They are suitable for low-powered airsoft rifles at close ranges and high-powered weapons over longer ranges with 300-450FPS. 0.30-0-43g BBs give you a consistent trajectory but can only be used on a powerful electric rifle. The minimum required FPS for this heavy ammo is at least 380.

Color

Ammunition for airsoft rifles comes in dark and bright colors. The color does not affect the performance of your pellets, only their visibility. Tracer BBs glow in the dark, so they are suited for nighttime games. Dark-colored pellets make it harder for your opponents to locate you, while bright pellets let you see where you are hitting.

Material

The material of airsoft BB determines tit hardness and durability. Airsoft pellets are made of biodegradable and non-biodegradable materials. The biodegradable material is polylactide or polylactic acid, which decomposes over time. Studies have shown biodegradable BBs take around 500 days to decompose. The non-biodegradable pellets are made of ABS (acrylonitrile butadiene styrene), which takes years to degrade.

You can confidently choose the best BBs for your electric rifle with the information above. Do not compromise on their quality if you want extended gun life, shooting accuracy, and minimal jams. Quality BBs are free of deformities, cracks, and bubbles.
