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. For low-ricochet performance, frangible BBs such as Dust Devil are also available.

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, Crosman and Gear Stock premium BB lines, offering smoother cycling and tighter polish.

Like the Daisy Premium Zinc Plated Steel BBs

Or the Gear Stock Copper Steel 4.5mm 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.
