🧠 FAQ: Airsoft 0.20g BBs (10+ Questions)

1. What guns are compatible with 0.20g BBs?
Nearly all airsoft guns, including AEGs, GBB pistols, springers, and HPA systems, can fire 0.20g BBs.

3. What’s the difference between 0.20g and 0.25g BBs?
0.25g BBs are heavier, offering more stability and accuracy. 0.20g BBs are faster and cheaper, but less stable at longer distances.

Yes, especially for CQB and short- to mid-range use, but they may drift slightly outdoors or in windier conditions.

5. Can I use 0.20g BBs in a sniper rifle?
Technically yes, but heavier BBs (0.36g+) are far better for sniper rifles due to improved stability and trajectory.

Yes—bio BBs are available in 0.20g weight and are required at many outdoor and eco-friendly fields.

It depends on your firing style, but most players use 1,000–3,000 BBs during an average skirmish.

9. What are tracer 0.20g BBs?
Tracer BBs glow under UV light, used for night games with tracer units installed on your blaster.

Yes—0.20g is the universal standard for FPS testing at nearly every airsoft field.

11. Do 0.20g BBs hurt more or less than heavier ones?
