What bb weight do you use?

Discuss anything and everything here that's Airsoft related.

+1 for the .25's in an aeg.

I noticed quite an improvement as others have mentioned. Makes sense considering they're 25% heavier than what I had been using...

I prefer to use .36s in my rifle (550 fps), but have got excellent performance with .30s as well. Bolt-action.
My 1911 works magnificently with .20s. GBB.
I use .23s in my XM8, may go up to .25s though. AEG.
I'm not really a turtle.

.28's mostly, and .25's if I happen to have a gun shooting under 375. I even use .25's in my AEP!
For every action (Bang) there is an equal and opposite reaction (HIT!)

I've found that whatever weight will put you in the 340-375fps range tends to be the most effective.

I use .28's in my 400fps AEG (putting me around 360) and .25's in my GBB (putting me below 300, but the pistol is for short range anyways).

If I can .36 or .43, At longer range I seem to get better accuracy.

But most of the time I end up using .2 or .25 like most people.
