heavy weight "powder" BB for sniper?
 

Hi,

Has anyone try / is aware of heavy weight 6mm BB that would work with BA sniper rifle and not break in the barrel?

I usually end up sniping someone at long range in the wood, the person feel/think it is a tree in his way, and keep on moving. Having a bit of powder would help the person realize he was hit.

We are talking single shot, small quantity, minimal "crap" on the person gear.

Don't run anything with powder through that beautiful L96 of yours!!

Try getting a little bit closer before taking your shot, and aim for lower chest (people REALLY feel tight/stumach shots)

Well it isnt so much powder but water-based paint bbs that just came out out from Hellfire. Just needs a little scrub with water to take out, comes in white, blue or green. Theyve been proven not to shatter inside the barrel, and only upon meeting/hitting the target

and they are crap and are not heavy weight. there are powdered BB's out there but again they are crap the idea has been brought up and shot down many times around the board. just look at the responses last time you posted about the paint bb's.

I personally just use BBB .3-.36 bb's. Find they work well. And depending the game/weather and brush a mag of .43 for penetration.

Look nice

Well.. Seams like you should play paintball.

But Powder in that barrel will just make your rifle shoot inconsistent man. Not to mention really gunk that thing up.

Use .36 or higher. Maybe even .46 It's be like shooting a rock at them.

0.46 I ll give it a shot

their crap any and all paint BB's are crap. leave paint to paintballers.

but anyways 500 of them = 80g's do the math they are far to light

0.2 from what I saw on ehobby

Why not just buy 0.36g Bastards, I've proven they work great.............. you remember..........but they are very consistant and don't break in the barrel. If you have issues with BBs breaking in the barrel, sounds liek something is going wrong with your rifle.

If you want heavier, there are the 0.40g Bastards, I haven't field tested them yet, but I call them too heavy since 0.36g seems to be the heaviest performance round out there, go heavier and you have to compensate for drop more.

We are changing the formulation on our heavy weight BB's, so what's left on the store is all we will have till spring when the new product line comes in.

Wait for it :D

It really more to help realize you have been sniped.

Never had issue with BB breaking in the barrel so far.

paint bbs are absolutely unacceptable for sniping as the liquid inside them will throw them off target. horrible bbs for medium to long range accuracy. No mater how good they may be, if they are crafted by gods and only contain the highest of quality of chuck norris semen they are still filled with liquid and liquid is not a solid.

i agree with this.. except a BB containing chuks norris's semen would roundhouse kick the target to death for getting in the way.

they call them 'no cheatz' :)

Guess I misunderstood your question. Heavier BBs will hit harder and with a louder noise, and also be more of an indicator of 'being sniped' than any paint filled ball which would be really bad for consistancy. And still, it's up to the player to tell if they got hit or not. Paint mark or loud smacking impact, people will ignore it as they choose to. That's where the scope and the second and third kill from the day comes in. Up to you to put a round on target, if it takes you three shots with impacts on a guy and he finally calls hit, that's three kills for you, you just loudly bring it up later in public that they didn't call hit, and thank thhem for your mulitple kills. ;)

yup exactly, in paintball when people wanna cheat and ignore a hit when they are hit they'll take a dive and slide through the grass a bit to wipe it off and say they ducked it.

it's better off just delivering un-ignorable pain to the person, face, stomach, biceps, and calf's are the best place to hit someone who's being "invincible".
