Question:

can i shoot plastic bbs with a bb gun?

I want a co2 powered airsoft gun that shoots plastic bbs but the only ones i can find shoot metal ones.can i put the plastic bbs into the metal-shooting gun??

Answer:

nope
no, i believe the plastic bbs are bigger
yes you can i did that in a school project about a week ago and they shot like the metal bbs
I have a VERY old Daisy and a Crossman CO2 pistols, nice, still work fine, But they were made before plastic BBs were around so these guns are not rated at all. Wonder if I can use plastic BBs in them?
No you cant, because 1. the plastic bbs do not fit into the pellet guns depending on what size you get. there are different sized pellet guns. and note that Airsoft guns and pellet/bb guns are different things. Secondly you can not because pellet guns are usually higher velocity which might break the plastic bbs inside the gun when it is triggered, causing the fractured peices to scatter inside the gun. You can purchase co2 AIRSOFT guns that shoot plastic bbs though. There are only 1 size plastic bbs in different weights. But tehre are up to 5 different sizes. most pellet guns are sized .117 while airsoft guns are mostly .22
