    If i were to buy 0.2g Pellets to use for a 6mm gun... would that be bad?
    Also besides that airsoftguns.ie Is it a reliable site?

    No. The industry standard weight for BBs is 0.2g.

    As far as I'm aware, the only BBs likely to be problematic for 6mm airsoft guns are 8mm BBs and the cheap ones you pick up in a pound store.

    But I am interested In a pistol on airsoftguns.ie and it says be bbs the gun use are 6mm.
    So 6mm is pretty much 0.2g and there would be no problem?

    0.2g is the weight of the bb not the size.

    Grams measure weight. Millimetres measure size. A 6mm BB can weight 0.2g, 0.25g, 0.3g and other weights.

    I have dealt with them a couple of times in store. They have a nice selection, are reliable and are very good to communicate with their customers.

    Placed order on the 10th, shipped on the 20th, arrived today the 24th. I used ordinary airmail and there was no hold up with customs. Very happy. I bought in a few bits for two AUGs and another few bits to hold as spares for other repairs. I might have a small problem though. I ordered two Lonex M90 springs which on the website were categorised as General AEG Springs, now that I have them, they are shorter than regular spring and labelled PSG-1 :( Am a bit dismayed. Hopefully their cutomers service will hold up.

    The search is coming up empty so I'll ask.

    Does anyone have experience dealing with http://airsoft.tiger111hk.com?

    Cheers.

    I bought some kit from This Tribe last week. Top class service and great prices.

    www.thistribe.com

    Click here for Trustpilot reviews.

    Every bit as good as Flecktarn and RVOps, often a few pounds cheaper. Good automatic emails, responsive to customer questions, reasonable postage and quick delivery. Excellent all round.

    Bought a couple of bits of kit including a spare mag for my sidearm on the 12th April from gunfire.pl, when the package arrived and I tested the mag the co2 capsule just vented immediately, tried several times with same result. Opened a complaint with gunfire.pl and they requested that I send it back, which I did the following Friday. Currently the 16th of May and still no replacement mag or refund. No replies to emails either. Advice: AVOID gunfire.pl <snip>. Worst retailer experience for quite a while and 32 quid out of pocket! :mad::mad::mad:

    Never forget, the end goal is zero firearms of any type.

    Are there any stores which the boards airsoft community agrees are great for ordering from? I'm interested in a gun but don't know any reputable online stores.
