From MilGear’s extensive selection of airsoft BBs, you’ll find high-quality biodegradable BBs, standard plastic BBs and tracer BBs in various weights (0.20 g – 0.50 g). Whether you’re playing close-quarters CQB or shooting at longer distances outdoors, you’ll find a suitable option in our range.

We offer precision-manufactured BBs from well-known brands such as BLS, G&G Armament, Nimrod Tactical and Specna Arms, providing consistent quality and reliable feeding in electric, gas-powered and spring-powered replicas.

Lighter BBs are well suited for fast-paced close-range gameplay, while heavier BBs provide a more stable trajectory and improved accuracy at longer distances. Choosing the right BB weight always depends on your gun’s power and intended use.

What BB weight should you choose for airsoft?

There is no single correct answer. The ideal BB weight depends on your gun’s muzzle energy (J), velocity (m/s or fps measured with a 0.20 g BB), and your play style.

Lighter BBs (0.20–0.25 g)

Best suited for short distances and CQB games. They offer higher muzzle velocity, but stability and accuracy decrease more easily at longer ranges.

Medium-weight BBs (0.28–0.32 g)

A solid all-around choice for many electric airsoft guns in outdoor games. They provide better stability and a more consistent flight path compared to lighter BBs.

Heavier BBs (0.36 g and above)

Typically used in DMRs and sniper rifles. Heavier BBs travel more slowly but offer greater stability and retain energy better over longer distances.

Power, velocity and BB weight

Airsoft gun power is now primarily expressed in joules (J), as this allows measurement using the actual BB weight used in play. Traditional fps or m/s values are often measured with a 0.20 g BB.

Hop-up adjustments and internal modifications can affect which BB weight performs best in your specific replica. In many cases, the optimal choice is found through testing and fine-tuning.
