Not a good idea. Airsoft guns are also occasionally confused with other, higher powered types of air guns which are dangerous and can be potentially lethal. BB Guns and other Air guns use high-density BB's which are metal pellets and are not to be confused with the low-density, plastic pellets airsoft guns use. Metal BB's that are used in air guns also have a much, much higher velocity (approaching 1000 fps in some models) that can break the skin and could possibly be fatal. Airsoft guns do not have such high muzzle velocities and the plastic pellets do little except leave a sting or possibly a bruise or welt. However, like paintball, proper protection including protective goggles or a face mask is required and thick clothing is recommended.

not copper bb's. they're far too small. however you *may* be able to get a 6 mm steel bb. but it's heavy and wouldn't shoot well and would probably destroy your gun, and it's a BAD idea because you could seriously hurt someone with that.

Nope,
Get a BB gun if you want to shoot metal, safely.
