With this pistol, can you re-use bb's caught in a steel pellet trap, or would the bb's be out-of-round to where they might damage the barrel?

If you are using steel BBs shot into a baffled trap; i.e. cloth shields inside to prevent direct impact with the metal, they're okay to reuse. I have a cup of BBs that I've reused for over six months with no problem. Lead BBs are another issue as they will deform or even shatter.

I have used the bbs caught in the trap without having any problems. I have never checked to see if any were damaged, they all seemed ok to me.

Best to ask a range instructor or munitions expert about this. I'm not an expert on BB pellets. I only acquired it for a senior citizen friend of mine who wanted some protection but didn't really want to kill anybody (with a real gun).

Not sure. We don't have any issues. Are you using good quality bbs? You may want to clean the barrel with some silicone lubricant or light oil. To do this, take magazine out and fire the gun a few times to empty out any bbs. Take the battery out. Shine a flashlight in the magazine well and look down the barrel to see if there is any debris on the sides of the barrel. Clean as necessary. Hope this helps.

Use pellets and not BBs. BBs will just roll out of the barrel when you tilt it. And yes, you have to put one pellet in at a time. So you have to make your first shot count. The squirrel wil not wait for you to reload.

First, I will not shoot bbs in mine, as I'm afraid it might damage the rifling. My air rifle likes Crosman pointed pellets (also called Crosmand Hunters), and Winchester round nose. It does pretty well with the Destroyer EX pellets also. With a good scope and shooting from a rest at 10 yards, this gun can give you 1/4" groups measured center to center consistently. Very accurate for a gun priced this low.

Don't know: I haven't seen any issue using the steel BBs, but I know some people only put lead pellets through it. (Also be aware, copper BBs are only copper coated). It's a great plinking rifle.

I cleaned the barrel with 177.cleaning pellets and a gun cleaning kit the hoppes kit I bough from Amazon just use the oil it comes with on the outside only!!! I oiled the barrel with the silicone chamber oil by crosman spring oil!! I have the spring black ops! The round 177.bb worked great in it!! I was really loud I like using the heavier 177 pellets H&N barracuda power 10.65 but anything 8.18 and up works great in it.....

I don't understand your question. Are you asking if you can fill the rotary cylinder with BB's, I haven't got a clue. I shoot pellets only through mine.

Hi, If You're referring to a rifled barrel, it's always best to use lead only, the brass and steel BB's will damage the rifling and eventually reduce accuracy. I have a Do-All Outdoors .22/.17 Bullet Box that I use in My basement, the regular BB's will bounce out, where these Gamo lead ball BB's don't. All My Threaded barrel Airguns have the option of using pellets or BB's, I use only pellets, not only to preserve the rifling, but for better accuracy. As for My smooth bore's, outside I'll use the regular BB's but the lead one's on the Bullet Box.

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.

Yes, the cartridges / bullets holds the bb's. So you have six shots, then you reload. Loading bb's is so much more fun with this gun. This is the best bb gun I've ever owned! Good price & lots of fun... I don't think you'll be disappointed at all.

Yes, this trap will work with just about any pellet, BB, or airsoft pistol. The only problem I might see with an airsoft gun would be that at a further distance it might not make it through the cardboard, but the cardboard face could easily be changed out for something thinner.

Thanks for the answer. I will be picking up a couple of them. I bought a Remington one at Dicks and when I pulled it out of the wall a door opened and half the pellets went all over the floor. I will have to try this. Thanks again.

Any AirSoft bbs I've seen (kid across the way has one, and I constantly find the bbs in my yard) appear to be of larger diameter than metal bbs. Besides, I wonder if the soft texture of Airsoft bbs might foul a bb gun.

If this happens take out the magazine point the gun with the barrel up slightly and the mag well down and use the unjamming rod to try to dislodge the bbs out of the barrel. after a few tries you should be ready to shoot again. and plz note when the gun is jammed it has a diffrent sound

I would advise that you go to a safe place outside, load a pellet into the rifle, close the barrel and fire the rifle into the air, or in a safe direction.Do not dry fire your rifle. This could cause serious damage to the rifle.

Yes. You open the little trap door, pour in the bbs and then crank the wheel on the bottom until you can't crank it anymore. As your fireing it the more bbs u fire the more the wheel goes down so you somtimes have to crank it up again when yur bbs stop flying

This loads .177 pellets or 4.5 mm steel bb's in their respective 8 shot cylinder magazines. Since the barrel is rifled, it is best to use the pellets because they are softer and won't ruin the barrel.
