I want a new BB gun

Phosphorous · Post by **Phosphorous** » Sat Dec 02, 2006 11:19 am

I've had the same BB gun since I was 10, and it's a single pump pneumatic bolt-action 200 fps BB gun.

I think it's time for an upgrade.

I want a new rifle that shoots the same ammuntion (.177 cal BBs or Pellets). I was hoping to find one with a scope and iron sights, a 700-1000+ fps muzzle velocity, and for it to be a multi-pump rifle.

I would prefer for it not to use a spring, as they fire at only one velocity. CO2 would be cool, but I don't want to spend money on tanks.

So if anyone has any suggestions of rifle I should look into, I would appreciate it if you posted.

Ah a better upgrade, how about a pump action .22 caliber rifle? Munition is cheap, better accuracy and bullets travel at nearly the speed of sound.

I guess ammunition type doesnt matter, its just that I have tons of BBs.

Heh, I just received my new BB gun in the mail yesterday.

It's a Colt M4A1 Assault Rifle.
Metal.
Full size.
Semi-Auto and Auto firing modes.
Adjustable shoulder stock.
Freaking win.

Indeed it is. I absolutely love it. It's probably around 10 rounds per second, but the eBay sale never said exactly what it is.

How does it shoot and what is the muzzle velocity?

It shoots perfectly fine. I don't know exactly what you mean by that.

I'll give you the specs:

300 round clip
100 ft. accuracy
280 FPS
Approx. 10 rounds per second
1:1 scale
Adjustable Hop Up system
Semi and Full Auto select fire
Metal gearbox

And it sounds REALLY intimidating when you fire it...it's really loud, and it doesn't sound like you'd expect an airsoft gun to.

I meant in is it pump action, electric, gas, etc.

and 280 fps is too slow, I want something at least 700 fps.

Althought the 10 rounds per second is pretty sweet.

I have enough money.

It's electric. High-power battery charged. And 280 FPS seems slow, but it's actually quite fast. You're not going to find a 700 FPS BB gun very easily. Gas guns shoot faster than airsoft guns, and most gas guns average around 400 FPS. Plus, you need to pay for gas cartridges. Besides, 280 may not statistically be an incredibly high velocity, but it really doesn't matter when you're getting pelted 10 times a second. It hurts all the same. If you're looking for a good-quality, fairly low-price gun, I'd suggest something like the one I got.

Maybe an eye-candy video will change your mind.

The sound is muffled in the video. It's a LOT louder in real life. It actually sounds almost like a real gun.

Edit: And after recording the gun firing in automatic mode, I've slowed down the audio file and confirmed that it actually fires right around 12 shots per second.

I want a gun for precision target shooting, so muzzle velocity is a factor, and I have found guns that have muzzle velocities of over 700 that are BB guns.

Rate of fire doesnt matter for target shooting either, I want an accurate, hard-hitting gun so I can shoot at the target from a long distance.

Oh. I thought you were planning on playing Airsoft or something.

No, I plan to shoot targets. The gun I currently have has such slow velocity that you can see the BBs actually lob. I was just wondering if anyone here had any suggestions for a more powerful gun.

Well, I just put that there to compare size. Why, are you a fan?
