The pellets you are looking at have a sabot system on them. If the pellet complete with sabot are no bigger that .177 caliber and the length of the round is no longer than that of a regular pellet, I don't see why not. The Daisy 008 uses a revolving clip and if your pellets fit in flush in this clip, it should be theoretically good to go. Here is the link to this revolving clip: http://www.amazon.com/Daisy-Clips-Powerline-Pistol-pack/dp/B0036JZ3EK/ref=sr_1_1?s=sporting-goods&ie=UTF8&qid=1398058198&sr=1-1&keywords=daisy+008+clip

Without a doubt. Worth every penny. Ive been through almost every bb and pellet gun out there and the biggest bang for the buck is the daisy. Ive got two from 1999 that i still use and two newer ones as well.

BB's will ricochet - and as BB's are prone to do - likely right back at you. Pellets should deform and spatter. There will be some spatter all around. But if your target is in a safe place pellets won't be a problem

I wouldn't recommend it. These pellets are highly inaccurate and extremely light weight. A heavier lead pellet would give you more knockdown power and at the same time be much more accurate

I've used several and did a test of my own on what I have and my favorite is the pellet that has a small copper BB on top. I have it right here but there's no name. It was the more accurate and I have the Predator Polymag, 16 grain. They are lead with the red plastic pointed insert on top. The one I like for distance is the RWS, Hyper Velocity Pellet. Green plastic with the I believe lead pointed top. Do you know how to make not so snug pellets more snug? Carefully put a BB at the open/bottom end of pellet, tap ever so lightly with a gunsmith hammer and it will spread it out a little. Check the fit. Might take a few tries. Gives better FPS. Good luck and have fun! I've used several and did a test of my own on what I have and my favorite is the pellet that has a small copper BB on top. I have it right here but there's no name.

I would only use high quality .20 6mm seemless bbs if you want the best performance

I have tried a lot of pellets, Crossman Premier Hollow Points, Benjamin's, and others and you know what? I have found that the gun shoots straighter than I can hold and squeeze the trigger properly with all of them. As long as I use a heavy lead pellet to keep the speed down, the gun shoots great. I guess if I bench rested the gun and squeezed the trigger perfectly repeatedly, I could tell an accuracy difference between pellets. But I hunt using the best rest I can find (the side of a tree usually!) and try my best to use proper shooting technique. If I do that, old bushytail is usually toast. I like this gun (Umarex OCTANE 22 cal) except it is really heavy to carry, and I can't figure out a way to put a sling on it.

Rifled for pellets. Advertised to shoot BBs also, but I have not tried that.

I would recommend that you look elsewhere. The quality of this product is more geared towards less than 1000 fps. BB's would improve life. This is better used for a BB pistol.

in one word NO!! explanation... to my knowledge a true BB gun is smooth bore-that is no rifling in the barrel-the other thing of importance is that most if not all BB guns shoot a round ball round that is .177" in diameter as opposed to the .22(.224") caliber pellet which is not round and is too big to fit a BB gun

I suggest using 0.20g bbs. They give you the highest fps while also giving the best accuracy.

750 FPS....I found the PBA pellets to be very irregular and inaccurate.....but the accuracy and the hitting power of the standard 750 FPS pellets is excellent!

I've chronographed BB's at 740fps. Haven't measured pellets. If you're using pellets, this will be just as slow to load as your breakneck; loading 1 at a time. BB's are much faster to load but not as accurate.

I used the steel BB's from daisy and they are fairly accurate. If you want Maximum accuracy I would use pellets. I have no clue why you would need the ft lb of energy but you could probably calculate that by knowing the FPS(650-700 at 10 pumps) and the mass of the pellets/ BB's. I've noticed the accuracy depends a lot on how many pumps you use and the weather condition more than the pellets/BB's. For the price you can't go wrong.

Darts should be available from the various dealers at amazon as extras for b.b./pellet guns.Do not expect much accuracy or velocity, its for point blank shooting.

all guns can use .2g bb's. as long as its 6mm, it should work. standard is .12g and as you go up in weight/mass of the bb the velocity goes down.

No, it's not man. There is a model for pellets though. These are nice guns. If you buy / or have bought one, do the following:I agree with Robert ..........get yo'self a bunch of extra "bullets" (that hold the BBs), and for sure for sure, some speed loaders!! Dump out 6 emptys & in one motion load 6 full ones.....Bam!Happy air-shootin' ---be safe.
