6mm BB Alternatives?

[Cubman]

I am making a airsoft 'shotgun,' just a bunch of BBs with a foam plug on either end for ammo. Does anyone see any negatives for using something like feed corn for ammo? I do not intend to aim directly at anyone, I hope to arc the rounds like a mortar. 50 pounds sacks are about $20 at Tractor Supply.

Hey some people use the beads inside couches and stuff for BBMGs... i guess they should do, and you can go to the dump to get them.

hi im an aussie and we have these 5mm beads that are a kids toy. they are put in patterns and sprayed with water to set and make cool patterns. but they could be easily used in bb gun with a barrel to suit 5mm ammo. search them on ebay - beados their about $7 aus for 750
