things similar to bb's

I live in australia and you cant get bbs here. i was wondering if there was anything the same size as bbs and easy to come by. it could be a rod that i can cut also.

Aussies tend to use beads as substitutes, of course they have a hole through them which reduces efficiency somewhat but needs must when the devil drives.

ball bearings could be used

if you can get them shot gun shot are great, they come in lots sizes and aren't that expensive.

Well if you don't mind tiny calibres, there is a slightly camp option

If I could be a rod, are you building a sniper rifle, you could fill a piece of barrel with epoxy or hot glue

try searching for "slingshot ammo" 6mm steel BBs are some of the things that you will find.

umm, did you just ask for something similar to a spherical object?

Im sorry to sound rude... but measure a BB (or ask for a size) and find ANYTHING that is the same size.

Air soft bb's are 6mm
copper bb's are mostly .177 cal.

lazy suzans and swivel casters have small ball bearings that could be used

i have purchased these and they get through customs, when you buy them tell the seller to mark it as slingshot ammo and it WILL get through I have done it before.

I have like a million posts around here saying that you can get these bb's and easton x7 eclipse size 1714 arrow shaft for a perfect ammo/barrel combo but all the aussies around here just seem to ignore me... Like its too hard to buy things on the internet or something.
