Whats the difference between them besides the shell and missiles? Is one generally preferred over the other? How much is an lbb worth NIB at this time of year?

A shot of the internals if anyone is wondering how they compare.

Just what I wanted. Is the pump attached like a sspb?

It looks like the pump is larger on the BBBB, is this true?

Well, when I was trying to decide which one to get and asked a few people, the general answer I got was that the big blast is a little bit better. It has a bigger air tank, longer pump stroke (which means it takes less pumps to fill it) and it has the more durable steel firing pin, as opposed the the LBB's plastic one.

In my area the Bbbb is $5 cheaper than the Lbb

plus with the combined price of them both, ($16) you might as well get both.

One more neat little fact, the valve on the Big Blast opens faster than the one on the LBB due to the way the air pressure adds to the pull weight, the pin doesn't move until you exceed the pressure on the valve, once you past the breaking point, the 10-30lbs you're pulling on the trigger with will slam the valve open. The LBB on the other hand, can be half-pulled to slowly vent the tank, however, that also means you have to yank the trigger as fast as you can or your range will suffer.

I find that the part connected to the handle leading into the pump on the BBBB is made of more brittle plastic than that of the LBB and breaks easier... In my area the price difference is rediculous though. I got my LBB at TRU for 20$ (n00bed) and 2 BBBBs with 2single-tecs for 16$ at the same place.
