BB Ammo

Find dependable BB ammo in .177 cal / 4.5 mm steel for backyard plinking, target practice, and entry-level training. Choose standard steel BBs for everyday value, copper-coated or zinc-plated options for smoother feeding and corrosion resistance, or frangible/reduced-ricochet BBs when low-bounce performance is a priority

Only use steel BBs in platforms that explicitly allow it. Smoothbore BB pistols and BB rifles typically accept them; rifled pellet-only barrels do not. If you need airsoft 6 mm or pellet/diabolo ammo, see our dedicated categories to them.

Pair your BB ammo with fresh CO₂ 12 g cartridges, proper targets & traps, and reliable goggles or safety glasses for a safe and smooth session.

BB Types & Finishes

Standard Steel: Affordable and widely compatible for plinking and casual training. Classics from Daisy and Crosman remain go-to choices for everyday shooting.

Try the Umarex Precision Steel BBs 1500-Pack 

Copper / Zinc-Coated: Reduced friction and light rust protection. Popular in Umarex and Crosman premium BB lines, offering smoother cycling and tighter polish.

Like the Daisy Premium Zinc Plated Steel BBs

Frangible / Reduced-Ricochet: Composite BBs that break on impact to minimise bounce-back. Best used with rated traps; accuracy is secondary to safety.

The Air Venturi Dust Devil Frangible BBs (1500 ct) is a good example

Compatibility

Designed for .177 / 4.5 mm smoothbore BB pistols and BB rifles. Do not load steel BBs into pellet-only rifled barrels. For 6 mm airsoft or lead pellets, use their dedicated ammo hubs.

Essentials to Add

CO₂ 12 g cartridges for steady pressure
• Speedloader for quick magazine fills
Steel-rated traps and eye protection
Maintenance oil and cleaning rods to prevent jams

Care & Safety

Steel BBs can rust when exposed to moisture. Store sealed and dry—coated variants from Umarex or Daisy offer added protection. Always shoot into a proper backstop and confirm local usage rules.

FAQ's

Do BBs rust?
Yes. Uncoated steel corrodes quickly. Choose copper- or zinc-plated BBs and store in airtight containers.

What targets are safe?
Use BB-rated traps with angled plates—flat wood or metal can send BBs straight back.

Can I shoot indoors?
Only with a proper trap, ventilation, and mandatory eye protection.
