how do i know to go from .20g to .25g bb's?

Austen try and put all your questions into 1 or 2 posts.

Lol sry i am just tryin to find out all the things before i get a nice gun!

well with .20's theyre better for un upgraded AEG's if you want range and if u want to use .25's its better to upgrade your AEG if you want any decent range.

with .2's, you will get more fps, but less distance, with .25's it has more power behind the bb, but not as much fps as a .2(it is confusing yes, but get into physics, and you will understand what i mean) also with a .25, you will get more distance with the bb...hope this helps, dont quote me on any of this, because if im wrong then im wrong, but im speaking from what ive heard,seen, and experienced...if a "airsoft bb master" wants to prove me wrong, go ahead, but like i said, im speaking from what ive seen in my 1 year of airsoft bb's that weigh more then .12...haha.

so probably if i upgraded my gun to 35 or higher fps i would want to start using .25g bb's

:roll: i hope u mean 350, u can use .20's ina 400 fps gun my m4 shoots them ok, i use .25's, less power, but u get range and accuracy, anyone who plays will tell u thats more important than fps. if your gun shoots 500 fps but the bb's heads tword the moon 20 feet out of the barrel then whopp-d-do, u cant hit anyone :lol: hope that sarcastic sentence make sense.

i would say both yes and no...yes if you want more distance shots, no if you want close up battles...the .25's will hit with more force then a .2, so if your close up, it will hurt more pretty much...whatever floats your boat dude, most people like to use .25 because they fly farther. so go to aex, get your gun, get a bag of both .25 and .2, and see which you like more.

also the more the BB weighs the Harder impact or Joule rating the BB has

yeah that the whole physics thing Joe was talking about.

Ramone got it. You get more accuracy if you use heavier bb's due to environmental factors but at less distance. Using lighter BBs will go further and shoot harder but if there are any environmental factors, it could affect your accuracy a lot. NEVER use .12g bbs in your AEGs.
