Airsoft bbs are typically made of plastic and are almost always 6 mm spheres. Airsoft bbs of a given size come in different weights ranging from 0.12 to 0.43 g. In addition to standard plastic airsoft bbs, starch-based biodegradable, metal coated, and graphite coated (often used by snipers), steel bbs are also available. Airsoft BBs other than 6 mm, 0.12 g, 0.20 g, or 0.25 g plastic or biodegradable bbs are not commonly used outside of Japan. For 0.43 g BB's, you will need a powerful airsoft gun, or get upgrades on your gun so that it can effectively shoot this heavy airsoft bb.
Glow-in-the-dark tracer airsoft bbs are also used in conjunction with a special device that "charges" the airsoft bbs up by flashing it with a quick burst of UV light prior to firing so that they remain luminescent in flight for use during nocturnal games/operations.
airsoft bb paintballs are available but are incompatible with guns with hop-up features as the hop-up will break the bbs in the gun. Paint is very unpopular with airsofters because it tends to stain gear and clothes.
