Question

Is it bad to give your airsoft gun .12 grams bullets if your suppose to give it .20?

Answer 1

Depending on the gun (almost all metal gearbox guns) you should use .20g or higher.  The .12g should be used in spring pistols or cheaper plastic gear airsoft guns.

The biggest problem with .12g BBs is they tend to be of the cheap variety.  They can break in the feed tube and then cause some nasty jams or worse damage your gear box.  They also tend to have seems which can damage the hop up and barrel.  Because they are so light the .12g airsoft BBs have horrible long range accuracy.

If you spent good money on your airsoft gun, preserve your investment with good quality .2g or higher BBs.
