Can this fire .117 bbs? I assume the accuracy would be less than a pellet, but would firing the bb either jam, break, or damage it?

Definitely not. Rifled barrel designed for skirted pellet not round copper clad steel ball

The Gamo MRA Showstopper fires .177 caliber pellets. Firing bb's will cause damage.

A .177 BB is actually smaller in diameter than a .177 pellet so there will be a poor seal and the BB will not engage the rifling, If you are intend on shooting round balls out of the rifle go with Gamo round lead pellets, They are the right diameter and engage the rifling but don't expect excellent accuracy out of them, However they should have excellent penetration.It's never a good idea to shoot steel BB's out of rifled guns since they mess up the rifling.

One at a time. Although I think you can use BBs in the 177, it is highly discouraged due to the fact BBs will ruin the riflings in the barrel. This is a very accurate PELLET gun. Don't ruin it trying to shoot BBs through it.

They say that over time, yes. I just use pellets to keep it more accurate & less ricochet. Had one of these when I was a kid & shot bbs through it like crazy. Was still accurate.

We have used only .12 g and even then, the gun tends to jam sometimes when in automatic mode. I think a larger bb would only make the problem worse.

It shoots pellets great but expect to much from bbs. Way more accurate with pellets.

I would not use BBs on this. Targets are designed for .22 pellets. They will not flip, unless you will shoot from few feet away.

No, it will break the targets off. I tried it with my .22 LR pistol and it bent the target and broke it off. I welded it back on and it still works great! I know it is kind of a bummer that it doesn't work with .22 LR but it is still really fun and works with any BB or pellet gun.

Absolutely. The BBs/pellets will not break through the can on a single shot, though, so be wary of pellets flying off in all sort of random directions every time you hit your target. This little airsoft gun is definitely strong enough to send cans flying, though-- I found the best way to keep them stationary was to tie a string through the can's pull-tab and to suspend them from something instead of just shooting them off of a table-top or something similar.

I doubt it it's just not heavy enough I've had the targets bounce back around with high power airgun a rimfire would most likely damage the targets or even punch holes in them you could try .22 short or CB but any more I'm quite sure would damage it

No, you will damage the cartridge that holds the BB. The barrel on this is a smooth bore/diameter for BBs so their would be no benefit as pellets would not perform well and have unpredictable behavior make it a dangers practice.

Nope 6mm is bigger than .117 so the gun would not even be able to rack the BB and youbwouldnt be able to load them in the mag

That will depend entirely on the weight of the pellet. The gun is rated at 1650 fps with lightweight PBA ammo. I would not recommend using that as it can damage the gun internally. I would go for something 10 grains or heavier, that should bring the velocity down into a more acceptable and more accurate range.ThanksPyramyd Air Team

Falconer's response was absolutely correct. This rifle is not designed to shoot BBs. It will shoot high quality pellets accurately and consistently.
1423302
Actually the caliber is .177, not .117, which equates to 4.5 mm. So no, you can't shoot 6mm airsoft BB's. The barrel and the magazine are too small.

I would not recommend shooting it with pellets. A low power bb gun might work but the target is really intended for airsoft bb's.
1707453
It can but I highly advise against it, BB's will not shoot accurately and will ruin the spring piston as there will be no pressure against it. Shooting pellets is something this air rifle is designed for I recommend trying different brands for accuracy like RWS, Crosman, and JSB. After you find the right pellet keep a good supply on hand and have fun.

Your diction is so bad I'm not really sure what you are asking. Can the gun shoot BBs? It couldn't shoot them very well but most likely its capable.
