Don't neglect your ammo.

If you check the data, heavier BBs always do better. People often upgrade with fps and barrels in their minds, ammo is the last thing they would buy. Faster speed alone will get you more air resistance. That's all. Faster muzzle speed does not necessarily get you accuracy nor range. But what faster muzzle speed allows you to do is, to use heavier BBs. No matter how long, and how tight your barrel is, your airsoft rifle is as good as the BB it shoots. If you want accuracy and range, don't forget to buy some excellent BBs.

It's a misconcention to think that heavy BBs have less range. Heavier ones have more range, unless you are using 0.43g on stock spring (then it's too heavy).

If you have stock rifle, and have been using 0.2g BBs, just get yourself a bag of decent 0.25g.

If your rifle has at least 120 spring, you can use 0.28g or even 0.3g BBs. Use them.

If you have a heavily upgraded rifle, and still using 0.25g, that's as good as not having upgraded.


Most of the people who have been tinkering around with their rifles, already know how important ammo is for a sniper. But for those who are starting out, I would like to remind them without good BBs, sniper rifles just don't work good. If you have no ammo, sniper rifle is useless. By the same token, if you are using light weight, poor quality BBs, your sniper rifle cannot function properly, no matter how much you spent to upgrade it. Please do not forget to get heaviest weight BBs your rifle can handle.

For me, I don't consider anything lighter than 0.29g a sniper rifle's ammo.

TM 0.3g is top notch, So is Maruzen Super Grandmaster 0.29g. SiiS 0.3g is fine, so is their 0.33gs.
Maxi 0.3g is fine too. Some said that KSC perfect 0.3g is good too, but I have not tried it.

Straight 0.36g and 0.43g BBs do not have excellent surface finish, and there are some deformed ones, so you will have to inspect them one by one. If you weed out, they are good. But to push out 0.36g, you will need at least 150 or 170 spring. For 0.43g, you will need 170 or 190 spring.
