Airsoft BB Size
All standard airsoft BBs are 6mm in size. This is due to the fact that the majority of airsoft guns like sidearms, rifles, sniper rifles, and squad support airsoft guns have magazines which accept 6mm airsoft BBs and also have 6mm airsoft gun barrels. If you are uncertain what size BB your airsoft weapon fires, look for 6mm airsoft BBs. Your airsoft gun is more than likely a 6mm airsoft weapon. If you have concerns about what airsoft BB size your airsoft weapon accepts, check in your airsoft weapon owner’s handbook, try to find markings on the airsoft gun magazine, or check online by looking up the model number and maker of the airsoft weapon.
The Colt Competition .12 g 6mm Green BBs airsoft BB millimeter (mm) size is the relative measurement of the size of the airsoft BB sphere. These sizes allow them to be shot out of the majority of spring airsoft weapons, automatic-electric-gun (AEG) airsoft weapons, or gas powered airsoft weapons.
BB Production Workflow
Airsoft BBs made by Colt are made using a plastic molding method. In short, the airsoft BB production method is comprised of plastic material choice, sorting, melting, substance injection, buffing, and packing and shipping.
Airsoft Weapon Barrel Accuracy
The Colt Competition .12 g 6mm Green BBs airsoft BB size allows it to fit perfectly into airsoft gun barrels. The inner airsoft gun barrel diameter is simply slightly larger than the BB size.
FPS and Colt BB Diameter
Airsoft weapons can also be enhanced with tighter inner barrels or tight bore barrels to improve the FPS of airsoft BBs. A large number of AEGs which shoot 6mm BBs generally come with a 6.08 mm barrel. The inner barrel can be swapped out to a 6.01 mm or 6.03 mm tight bore barrel for much better tolerances and functionality which enable less air to get out around the airsoft BB when it is fired there by boosting the BB’s FPS.
About BB Weights
Airsoft BBs come in a few basic weights. The most common weights are 0.12 gram and 0.20 gram BBs. Other typical weights are 0.25 gram, 0.28 gram, 0.30 gram, and as high as 0.40 gram BBs. The weight of the airsoft BB impacts just how much force is required to launch the BB out of the airsoft weapon and guide its flight path after the BB is fired.
Colt Airsoft BBs Production Quality
High quality Colt airsoft BBs have several style characteristics which are necessary to the airsoft BB’s efficiency. These characteristics include:
- Colt airsoft BBs should have a spherical round bearing design
- The exterior of the airsoft BB needs to be smoothed to take away molding rims and flaws
- The dimensions of the airsoft BB must be 5.95 mm +/- 0.1 mm to make sure the BB fits precisely into basic airsoft gun inner barrels
- Quality assurance throughout the airsoft BB manufacturing process need to be high to avoid internal air pockets and make sure no flaws exist
- Airsoft BB materials need to be top quality (preferable non recycled) which permits BB product consistency
- The plastic product of the airsoft BB (whether ABS or PLA is used) needs to be crafted to prevent breaking, fragmenting, or cracking when BBs strike hard surface areas like concrete, wood, or a competitor’s airsoft safety glasses or face mask for protection
