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.

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.

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

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'
