Difference between .20 and .25 BBs?
« on: January 31, 2012, 01:08:41 PM »
Sorry if this has been posted, but if my gun shoots .20, will it be able to shoot .25? And what is the difference?

Do you need a gun that can shoot that, or will a gun that shoots .20 be able to shoot those BBs?

Start with .2 or .25, no difference.

right on nice responce! lmfao

a .25 bb is heavyer meaning less trjectory loss from the wind, It will probably shoot 20-30 feet less but it will be less likely to have the wind blow it to the sides.
Its still going to be carrying that same ammount of force when it hits, it just doesnt go as fast.

personally i donnot use anything under a .28 unless i have no choice.

A bb shouldn't affect ROF.

thats what i thought, ROF has to do with your motor and gear setup.

Does it really matter?  We all started somewhere.  At least he didn't ask the question in a demeaning manner.

Thank you. I just simply asked a question because I didn't know the answer. And thank you all for the great answers. I appreciate it

And let me say I'm sorry if you took that as demeaning. I meant to imply to take it easy on the tech stuff. You (the noob) just needed to know that any weight will shoot. KISS principle. Again, no offense.
