Snoopy1966 Posted May 9, 2008 Share Posted May 9, 2008 I am not sure, but I have read many places here that a 6mm BB will work just fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mushrat Posted May 9, 2008 Share Posted May 9, 2008 Airsoft pellets work. And you can buy those by the thousands, they don't rust since they are plastic, and you can get them...hmmm..do they have air soft in the UK? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BB-gun bullets is what I would use if you don't want to fork out money for the ball bearings in my previous post...-H&S Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

manic007 Posted May 9, 2008 Share Posted May 9, 2008 (edited) yeah, we have airsoft/BB guns in the UK.goon, if I was you I'd go to a hardware store, like B&Q/homebase/Wickes/etc. You should find them easily, probably 10p each or something. If you have your ball bearing with you then take it along. Otherwise look for something like 6mm diameter. Or takes Mush's suggestion and buy airsoft pellets (which are 6mm).I wouldn't buy shisha ball bearings from ANY shisha shop or online vendor. They'll just RAPE you with the cost!! Like 50p for a BB! http://www.hookahshop.co.uk/ball-bearing-p-239.htmlOh, found this on google:http://velokit.co.uk/cart_productdetails.asp?PRODUCTID=3582They're 1/4" which makes them 6.35mm, but that's close enough. And for 144 bb's for £2.89 (2p each) you afford to loose one every week! Want to make an edit: although 6mm is the usual size of a BB, I've noticed that inside the purge value of one of my egyptians, the bb is 6mm but a fraction larger and it might get stuck inside the screw-on housing cap. I'd suggest you measure the inner diameter of the screw on cap, and the purge hole. And choose a BB that's between these values.
