Picking BB'S?
Ok im sure this has been brought up a ton of times but I can't seem to find any threads on it.
I just got myself a VSR-10 g-spec and now I need to find some BB's for it. There are a tons of different weighted BBS and I have no idea what to buy. So im wondering what is the best and what are the pros and cons of useing different weights. thanks |

Essentially the heavier the BB, the lower the FPS (impact force is roughly the same though AFAIK), but you gain accuracy and distance.
Buy a bunch of different weights and try them for yourself. Too bad they dont have "tester" packs with a bunch of different weights. *hint hint Scarecrow* |

From my experiences, I've found BBBastard to be the best BB's (And I'm not just saying that because I'm selling them... I'm selling them because THEY are the best)
Outdoors: .25 will work for any FPS... .2 is really only good for chronoing, indoors and CQB. 0 to 250 FPS: .20 250 to 350: .25 350 to 420-450ish: .28 450 to 500ish: .3 Past 400 it's basically personal preference. |

heavier BBs will also carry more energy over a greater distance, so where a 0.20g will lose impact power and velocity over a short distance, a heavier BB can carry much more energy to further distances.
Which is why a 0.25g BB would feel like it "hurts" more at long range versus a 0.20g BB. |

For the first 6 months of using a VSR I used it absolutely stock firing about 280 fps... a year and a half later, I'm firing a comfortable 430 FPS |

You know who you should talk to?
Jeff at Capital Airsoft. http://capitalairsoft.ca/store/index...=index&cPath=2 Doesn't seem like he carries Bastards though. For the record I use Metal Tech BB, Bastard, and I'm in the process of trying out "BB King".

If you're wondering, I carry BB Bastards and I'm one province over

practice shots at a mode distance with different weights of bbs. I prefer heavier because sometimes one has to arch a shot which is great fun.

For the fps your gun *should* be running at, no less than 0.30g, and get a bag of 0.36g BBs too, both Bastards from Scarecrow. Send him a PM and buy a bag of each, they will last you a while, even if only 1000rds per bag.

So you bought Jarheads Gspec. I would talk to him about what BBs he liked for the gun.

Jarhead never really had it long. I think maybe a week or so. I have the VSR as well and I prefer KSC's or BB Bastard myself. I recommend the higher weights of .30+ as that gives you the best bang for your buck for snipers.
