I'm a newbie to guns. Does this shoot bb's, you know, the little metal spheres hurled at shoot cans off of fences? If I'm way off track recommend?

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 shoots airsoft rounds. Basically the same as the bb's you're talkinging about, except slightly larger and plastic. It's a little safer than shooting metal bb's.

in one word NO!! explanation... to my knowledge a true BB gun is smooth bore-that is no rifling in the barrel-the other thing of importance is that most if not all BB guns shoot a round ball round that is .177" in diameter as opposed to the .22(.224") caliber pellet which is not round and is too big to fit a BB gun

This BB gun is great. I can shoot far with pellets and be accurate. I have a very great scope, but that is unnecessary. For more distance choose a higher FPS, but for shooting cans, do this.

It may be jammed. Make sure the battery is fully charged, then shoot it without the nb magazine. See if any bbs fly out or drop. (Make sure dont point at anybody or shoot indoors for that matter) use the unjamming rod if necessary. Use .25 bbs. this is a quality gun regardless of reviews. I get 27:6 kill ratio with this gun as my main versus other players who use 300 dollar guns (or my other 300 dollar guns for that matter)! Play safe and have fun! (dont use .20bbs or else it WILLjam. And upgrade the battery with an 8.4v it was originally designed by umarex with that battery in mind)

I would not recommend shooting it with pellets. A low power bb gun might work but the target is really intended for airsoft bb's.

Its my understanding that it is for pellets only. I wouldnt shoot bbs through my rifled barrel.

Falconer's response was absolutely correct. This rifle is not designed to shoot BBs. It will shoot high quality pellets accurately and consistently.

You're pretty much good with any bb (metal) that's available. However, this is made manly for pellets so I would suggest that if your looking for power AND accuracy. BB ammo lacks accuracy.

Not designed for bb's as pellets or even a .22 for that matter won't ricochet like a bb can and does. That said you can certainly use it for bb's if you wanted to do some simple modifications to it as a bb obviously won't penetrate it. You could cut a piece wood and put it inside or some other pliable material for the bb's to go into instead of simply bouncing off the backstop. I'm sure you could come up with something maybe even a piece of 1/4 luan or plywood inside so the bb's will penetrate it and be stopped by the box and not ricochet back out. But for using by itself without any softer material inside or modification, no, the bb's will be angled down by the backstop but some will fly out for sure.

No. Just BBs. This thing is really just for fun. I don't believe there is enough power to kill anything even if you could use a hunting round anyway

Any bb gun that is made to fire .177 bb's which is pretty much any BB (NOT airsoft!!!) gun. I like the daisy bb's better now days since the copper plating on these crossman ones rubs off and gunks up your gun eventually. If your new to BB guns i would recompnd the daisy Buck or the slightly larger Daisy Red Ryder....you can getthe buck for 18 bucks at walmart and i think the red ryder for 25 ish. Though they are 'kids' BB gun the lever action makes them FAST to shoot...and lots of fun for plinking at targets. I use a card box stuffed with old rags to catch the BBs and an old towl as a backstop. Thy are actually pretty acurate at 10 foot (wear safty glasses as BBs can bounce) if you want a bb pistol then you could try the spring powerd Daisy powerline or the most fun (but more expesnive) you can buy a blowback gas pistol like the tangfolio witness1911 from this site. Gas blow back pistols need little co2 powerlets but are lots of fun...but more expensive to buy and run though more powerful then the spring psitols. Either way BB guns are for fun NOT hunting....you need a .22 pellet rifle for hunting. Look on this site for BB gun and then look up the bb gun on youtube to see if its any good....good plinking!

This is not an air soft gun, though it may shoot them, it is not designed for them. Of course I guess you could use BBs and be the last one standing. Just joking, Do not use BBs to shoot at anyone.

Yes...it's a great little gun for shooting cans and targets! I bought one for my grandson and he LOVES it!!

it shot only .177 stainless steel BB's, this is not a toy, the airsoft ammo will not fit this Gun, and it is a powerfull BB gun,!!!!!! not airsoft!!!!!

No, it's not man. There is a model for pellets though. These are nice guns. If you buy / or have bought one, do the following:I agree with Robert ..........get yo'self a bunch of extra "bullets" (that hold the BBs), and for sure for sure, some speed loaders!! Dump out 6 emptys & in one motion load 6 full ones.....Bam!Happy air-shootin' ---be safe.

I don't beleive so, although I'm not certain. FWIW, I would not suggest this model. I bought for my ten year old son because his friends have different types, and this is like a toy. The BB's are extremely hard to load, and after a few weeks it stopped shooting altogether.

It shoots air soft plastic BB's - would hurt a little point blank - but not a huge range
