    Still waiting for my proper gbb to be delivered I got impatient (needed to shoot something) so I bought a spring pistol. Piece of junk broke within half an hour. You buy cheap, you buy twice as the saying goes. Anyway I bought a bottle of .12g bbs with this thing. Can they be used in the gbb? It's a KJW Sig P229 full metal.
    Thanks.

    Put the .12's in a straw and blow, instant airsoft :)

    They can also be used in m203 shells, or claymores, but bar that, they are crap.


    Good choice by the may with the 229, a tip, dont let the mag follower snap against the bbs in the mag, it can break the plastic feed lip on the top of the mag, and would need a replacement.

    I've a kjw m9, they aren't a bad make of gbb, do the job quite well, just be careful with the plastic on the end of the mag when loading.
