FAQs
WHAT ARE BB GUNS?
BB Guns are pistols and rifles that utilise ball bearing rounds instead of pellets. Most air guns are capable of firing one ammo type or another. However, there are also hybrid weapons capable of supporting both BB & pellet rounds, although they are less commonly available.
WHO MAKES THE BEST CO2 PISTOL?
Not sure which ammunition fits your needs? Here is a brief breakdown of the different selling points offered by pellets and ball bearings:
BB (BALL BEARINGS)
• Ball Bearings come in a perfectly round, spherical shape.
• BB bullets can be composed of plastic or metal.
• Generally, BB slugs are only available in a calibre of .177
• No barrel rifling.
PELLETS
• Pellets are shaped much more like a traditional bullet, typically with a domed head.
• Pellets are significantly more aerodynamic than BB’s.
• Pellets are much less likely to ricochet due to shape and component material.
• Multiple calibres available: .177, .22 & more.
• Barrel rifling is included for spin, which improves accuracy.
WHAT IS THE BEST BB GUN TO BUY?
Some of the leading manufacturers of BB guns are Umarex and their replicas.

They also must be under the legal limit of 12ft/lbs for rifles and 6ft/lbs for pistols. The full and comprehensive list of laws and regulations to follow can be found on the BASC website here.
What is the difference between airsoft guns and BB guns UK?
In the UK, the defining difference between airsoft guns and BB guns lies in the type of ammunition they use and their intended purposes. BB guns fire metal BBs or pellets and are typically designed for target shooting and hunting, delivering a more authentic shooting experience. In contrast, airsoft guns utilise plastic pellets and are predominantly used for sports and gaming, offering a safer and more recreational approach to shooting activities.
Furthermore, despite airsoft equipment often being designed to resemble real firearms closely, they can appear more toy-like compared to BB guns, making airsoft guns and accessories particularly suitable for those engaging in shooting sports where a more playful and less intimidating appearance is preferred.
Can you use a BB gun for airsoft?
No, BB guns are not suitable for airsoft enthusiasts. They use metal BBs or pellets, which can cause harm when used in airsoft games designed for safety with plastic pellets. It’s important to use the appropriate gun for each activity.
Can I use BB guns in public areas in the UK?
No, it is illegal and unsafe to use BB guns in public areas in the UK. BB guns should only be used on private property with the owner’s permission or at designated shooting ranges. Using them in public spaces can lead to legal consequences and safety issues.
Do I need a license in the UK to own a BB gun?
Generally, you do not need a license to own a BB gun in the UK if it falls within the legal power limits. However, if you plan to acquire a more powerful airgun, such as a high-powered air rifle, you may need a firearm certificate. Always verify local regulations and seek proper guidance when in doubt.
Can I safely shoot a BB gun in my garden?
Shooting a BB gun in your garden can be safe if you follow strict safety guidelines. Ensure that your garden is securely fenced and that you have a proper backstop to catch BB pellets. Additionally, inform your neighbours and maintain a safe distance from any public areas or roads.
Where can I find cheap BB guns in the UK?

Websites like The Wolfman offer a range of options from leading manufacturers worldwide at competitive prices and offers free UK shipping.
