    Paintballs for airsoft guns?

    Airsoft guns always advertise that they can shoot little paintballs, but where can you find them? I cant seem to find them anywhere.

    Also, if you have used these paintballs before, are they worth anything? (Im not trying to play regular paintball with them though, just do they work well)

    They don't hurt they can bearly go through a cardboard box. Also they shoot 6mm resin BBs(not sure if that is 22 cal)Also those paintballs aren't soo good depending on what airsoftgun you are using such as they suck in AEG(automatic electric gun), are semi good in gas airsoft guns, and work best in spring guns, since they pop very easily and if you use it in one of the AEG's and they break in the gun you have to take apart the whole gearbox and almost everything to get every drop of paint out of them and if they pop in your enclosed clip your screwed(I know) Other than that they are easy to clean in spring and gas operated airsoftguns. I wish my airsoft guns still work . At least they still look good even if i can't use it

    Actually that is not quite true.
    6mm =.23622 in
    In firearms it would be a .243 cal.
    A 25 cal. would be a .257

    I only know this cause I shoot high power rifle compitions, and reload my own ammo. It is stuff I need to know.
    Just remember your moms credit card can't but you talent.

    falcon-

    if you have a cheap spring airsoft gun, the paintballs are OK, but they really suck, they don't fly well, and they often break inside your gun, which really can screw them up. if you've got an electric gun, don't even think of it.

    I say use paintball for paintball and airsoft for airsoft.
    sigs are overrated.
