Airsoft 6 mm BBs – the foundation of accurate and consistent shooting

Airsoft 6 mm BBs are not “just consumables” – they are one of the most important parts of your loadout.
Even a high-end, well–tuned replica with a good hop-up unit will never show its full potential if the BBs
are inconsistent in weight, have a rough surface or an uneven diameter. Quality BBs directly affect
range, accuracy, magazine reliability and your overall experience on the field.

In the Airsoft 6mm section at KingArms.ee you’ll find BBs of different weights and types,
so every player can choose the right ammo for their replica, play style and field conditions.

Why BB quality matters so much

At first glance all 6 mm BBs may look the same, but in practice the difference in quality is easy to feel:

• Precise geometry. A consistent diameter and properly spherical shape reduce friction
  in the barrel, minimise the risk of jams in the magazine and give a much more stable flight path.
• Consistent weight. If the weight of the BBs “jumps” from shot to shot, your rounds
  will go high, then low, and your grouping will open up. Good BBs are carefully sorted so that each shot
  behaves as predictably as possible.
• Smooth, clean surface. A polished surface wears the hop-up rubber and barrel less,
  helps maintain muzzle velocity and improves the consistency of each shot.

That’s why for serious games and regular training it makes sense to choose quality BBs instead of random
cheap ammo from unknown sources.

BB weight – how to choose the right one

BB weight is one of the key parameters – it affects range, wind sensitivity and the stability of the
trajectory.

• 0.20 g – the classic choice for basic replicas and short-range shooting. Good for
  training and beginners when maximum range is more important than perfect grouping.
• 0.23–0.25 g – a great all–round option for most standard AEGs. Compared to 0.20 g,
  these weights give a more stable flight and more consistent trajectory.
• 0.28–0.30 g – ideal for tuned AEGs, DMR builds and sniper setups where maximum
  accuracy and reduced wind influence are more important than raw range. You may lose a little distance,
  but you gain much tighter groupings.

A simple rule of thumb: the more powerful your replica and the longer your typical engagement distance,
the heavier BBs you can use. If you’re not sure where to start, go with 0.25 g and then experiment until
you find the weight that works best with your barrel and hop-up setup.

Standard vs BIO airsoft BBs

On many outdoor fields BIO BBs are increasingly required, especially for woodland and
natural environments.

• BIO BBs. Biodegradable BBs that break down over time and have a reduced impact
  on the environment. They are the right choice for forest and field games and for sites where BIO ammo
  is mandatory.
• Standard BBs. Suitable for indoor ranges, CQB arenas and any fields where BIO BBs
  are not specifically required by the rules.

It’s important to store BIO BBs correctly: keep them dry and in closed packaging, and avoid leaving them
for a long time in open bags or loaded magazines to prevent swelling and loss of strength.

Colour, tracer BBs and other features

Besides weight and material, there are a few extra things to consider when choosing airsoft BBs:

• BB colour. White BBs are easiest to see in flight – very useful when zeroing your
  replica and correcting your shots. Dark or coloured BBs are less visible to your opponent, but also
  harder for you to track.
• Tracer BBs. If you use a tracer unit, choose special glow–in–the–dark BBs that
  are “charged” by the flash of the unit and light up in flight. This looks great and is very practical
  for night games and indoor fields.
• Packaging and volume. Large bottles and bags are more economical for active players
  who shoot a lot. If you play only occasionally, a smaller pack may be enough so your BBs don’t sit around
  for years.

How to store airsoft BBs correctly

Even high–quality BBs can be ruined by poor storage:

• keep BBs in their original sealed packaging or in a tightly closed container;
• avoid damp rooms and extreme temperature changes;
• don’t leave BBs in mid-cap or hi-cap magazines for long periods, especially BIO BBs;
• if BBs are visibly deformed, cracked or covered with a dull coating, do not use them – they can
  damage your barrel or hop-up rubber.
