0.36g with no teflon = WIN WIN WIN!!
0.40g for those special place with special rifle...

I'd buy 2 bag of 0.36g and one of 0.40g right now!

0.30g is the best all around BB for sniping, but there is room for heavyer BBs where higher FPS are allowed OR when a nice predictable ballistic drop is required over absolute range.

Or like windy fucking unpredictable places like Rawdon!

As long as the tolerances are good and the price isnt astronomical I am most certainly in for .36

if the BBs are of nominal quality... then sure

What I meant was, just use what is available, it's vitually the same weight anyways (0.34g vs. 0.36g). Cannon balls would be cool though.

Well, if they ever ban airsoft guns outright, I have part of an APS2 action that I'll be transforming into a Brown Bess. At over 150 years old, as a replica of a flintlock (which are not considered firearms in Canada), I'll be good to go for Revolutionary War Airsoft.

That would actually be kinda cool to see.

I would pick up several bags of .36, I think it would be a perfect bb weight for my counter sniper M16. Because .30 are just not heavy enough....hopefully this poll helps.

Keep them coming info is great.

Yes, I'd take about $30-$40 of a .36 and .40. Enough for first impressions, practice, and some gaming. Calm days really don't exist here, .4 would be very nice for the times when .36 just isn't enough.

Edit: If they could be made to close to Maruzen SGM standards of variation, I'd never buy anything else.

the truth is im kinda disappointed. last summer i was under the impression that .34 or .36s were on there way and were supposed to make their appearance the past summer we just had. frankly, i would only use heavy weight bbs in special application rifles, such as the Kar98k or other BA rifles. for everything else (AEG, GBB) i would use only.28. That being said, if .3 were the price that they are now but for 2000 count instead of 1000, then i would probably use them in my AEG and GBB, but for now, their high price, and low volume make them special purpose only (kinda like match greade ammunition). Thus, heavy weights would be nice but only for SPR while the heaviest weight in 2000 count, my personally anyway, are used and will continue to be used, in everything else (AEG/GBB)

I've been using .3 in my GBB for CAPS .. I won't turn back .. the gun seems to like em... and they knock down poppers great.
For pistol range they are more accurate than lighter loads.

In the field I've been running .28 .. good leafcutters

I don't see a general need for anything heavier.. really

you are quite right in your general conclusion. but i respectively disagree. in high powers spring and gas rifles, heavy weight bbs will provide a flight path similar to match grade ammunition. in the Tanaka Kar98k. I have seen it shoot 377 with .3 bbs. now imagine how it would shoot with .34 or .36? it would be phenomenal! It would shoot straight, hard, accurate and cut down anything within its effective range. While i admit that the range would be cut down compared to say .3, the effectiveness in its new range would be higher than within the range of .3... if that makes sense.
