Question

Will a copper BB work?

Community Answer

It may, but it is a little smaller than the Airsoft BB. If it doesn't work, you could try using a smaller pen tube.

The pen tube will stay in better if the tape on the end is crumpled a little.

You can paint your gun black like a normal Airsoft gun if you want, but to stay legal leave the orange tip.
