Can you use .12 grams airsoft bullets for a gun that uses .20 grams. ?

Question

The caliber for the gun and bullets are the same but the nly difference is the weight? Will the .12 gram bullets work.

Answer 1

no because its too small for the capacity of the gun and it will get stuck and that will suck so no.

Answer 2

To add to surf4u2's answer, the lighter BB's are harder on the spring mechanism. They are so light that there is little resistance meaning that the ram is pushing the air against basically nothing. This has the same effect as dry firing, granted it takes longer, but not good for the gone, nonetheless.

Answer 3

no because accuracy will be horrable and they could damage your gun

Answer 4

Just to add on to the two good answers, the lighter BBs can blow up inside a higher powered gun.

Answer 5

I asked that same question on yahoo and did some research on my own and i have not tested this but everyone says it, yes you can damage your gun.  Because .12g is the weight not size like you said.  So in a .20g more mass is packed into the same size space meaning the .20g is much more dense.  Being more dense, that means its stronger and less prone to exploding in you barrel.  So the .12 can severally damage your gun and if it doesn't fully break it, they but massive wear-and-tear on the internal parts.  Also the wind will take .12g bbs and make them every inaccurate.  They will fly out of your barrel and curve wildly.  So spent the extra few bucks for the .20g seamless polished bbs.  Check airsplat.com they have cheap bb prices and also check ebay.com
