Airsoft .36g+ BB's

Airsoft 0.36g+ BBs are the gold standard for long-range precision, trusted by snipers, DMR operators, and expert players running finely tuned rifles. These ultra-heavy BBs—ranging from 0.36g up to 0.48g or more—deliver unmatched stability, wind resistance, and accuracy at extreme distances. If your airsoft build is designed for stealth and surgical precision, 0.36g+ BBs are a must-have. Since 1988, we’ve been the go-to shop for advanced airsoft ammo, and these heavyweight rounds are engineered to make every shot count.

Why Choose 0.36g+ BBs?

✅ Exceptional flight stability over long distances
✅ Minimises wind drift, hop-up inconsistency, and stray shots
✅ Ideal for bolt-action snipers, high-powered DMRs, and HPA rifles
✅ Increased impact energy and accuracy at range
✅ Available in biodegradable and tracer versions

Heavier BBs fly slower—but they hit harder, fly straighter, and reach further with accuracy when paired with the right setup.

🧠 FAQ: Airsoft 0.36g+ BBs (10+ Questions)

1. What’s the best sniper BB weight: 0.36g or 0.43g?
It depends on your setup. 0.36g is a great entry point, while 0.43g+ offers better wind resistance and grouping in tuned rifles.

2. Do heavier BBs improve range?
Yes—effective range is improved due to stability, even if raw distance may slightly decrease.

3. What FPS do I need for 0.40g+ BBs?
Generally 450–550 FPS (measured with 0.20g BBs) for bolt-action and 420+ for DMRs.

4. Can I use 0.40g BBs in an AEG?
Only if it’s highly upgraded with strong internals, upgraded hop-up, and high FPS. These BBs are typically not for stock AEGs.

5. Are there biodegradable 0.43g BBs?
Yes—BLS, ASG, and Novritsch offer bio variants for eco-compliant outdoor play.

6. Do 0.36g BBs work well with HPA setups?
Absolutely. HPA systems allow you to fine-tune your FPS perfectly for heavy ammo.

7. Are tracer BBs available in 0.40g+ weights?
Yes—some manufacturers now offer tracer rounds in 0.36g to 0.45g, but tracer units must support the size.

8. How many BBs do I need for a sniper role?
Usually 500–1,000 rounds per game day, depending on your rate of fire and engagement range.

9. Will heavier BBs reduce FPS too much?
Yes, FPS will drop—but the gain in consistency and accuracy far outweighs the speed loss in most sniper builds.

10. Are 0.36g+ BBs worth the higher cost?
Yes—they offer the best performance for precision roles and you’ll use fewer of them compared to full-auto players.

11. Can I use 0.36g BBs indoors?
Not recommended. Heavier BBs can be overpowered in tight CQB spaces and may breach safety limits. Use lighter BBs indoors.
