Hi everybody,
I've been a member for a few days now and I have spent that time researching the two guns I have on my shortlist, both of which I will be buying so they are not in direct competition with each other.
The guns in question are the Umarex Nickel Walther CP88 for which I am pretty much sure of everything I need for the purchase. However the 6" ASG Dan Wesson is getting me a tad confused, firstly with regards to the sizes of the BB's.
There's some conflicting information on whether they come with 4.5mm or 6mm and even the ASG site lists only one of these but I have seen both listed in on-line shops. Am I correct to assume that they are both readily available and one hasn't superseded the other?
On that assumption being right I come to my main question which is : Out of the two calibers, which would be best for plinking in the garden and what advantages do they hold over each other?
I have read here that the smaller caliber does not, or should not use steel BB's, is this still the case now because I've seen videos where what appears to be steel BB's are being used in the 4.5mm DW. I didn't want to use something that could cause problems with the gun or be a danger so rather than be stupid and just ignore the issue I figured I'd rather look stupid and ask the silly questions here.
Apologies for my ignorance and thanks for reading,
Mark / Boo.
