What's a good weight bb to use all around (all types of guns) I have 2.0s

Just a forenote, be sure to make a google search, or search through these forums before making a post. Because these are very, very obvious questions.

It really depends on your gun, if your gun shoots relitively slow in terms of FPS .20's are fine.

Personally, I use .25's to .30g BB's for better accuracy as I use GBBR's.

Depends on the gun and it's fps. Personally I use .25 for pistols and .28 or .30 for AEGs.

Are crosman BBS good to use or ultrasonic

The best start out weight would be .25 at anywhere under 360 FPS in any gun. Get used to that, those distances, then when you either upgrade your gun, or its already shooting above 360FPS, switch to .28's. You will notice the difference.

.20 are good for indoors (required at alot of places) and chronying.

BB bastard are one of the best brand.

I use them in .25 for my Aeg and .28 for my gbbr.

I also have gameface marking BBS could I use those?There .25

No, they are crap, and leave crap in your gun.

Definitely avoid Firepower BB's. Those are honestly crap and only good for blowing out of a straw from your favourite fast food restaurant.

They jammed in my AEG and will only work in my springers. Not worth it at all considering for a few bucks more you can get much higher quality stuff.

Going from 0.20's to 0.25's is like sprinkling magic on your gun. Your shots go straighter and the range that you can actually hit what you're aiming at greatly increases.

0.28's and 0.30's take that another step up...and your shots go a whole lot straighter. Also...the hits on the other end seem to be more pronounced, so guys seem to be able to call their hits quicker/easier. 0.20's hitting someone at max range land with a really, really soft impact...and easily go unoticed.

You tend to drop a solid 30-45fps going from 0.20's to 0.25's...and drop 100fps going from 0.20's to 0.28/0.30's. So with heavier BBs your BB takes longer to reach your target...they stand a much, much better chance at hitting it, but will have a longer "flight time".

So while shooting a 0.30 out of a 300fps w/ 0.20 gun will be more consistently accurate...they're moving REALLY slowly.

There's lots of write ups about the actual flight times and reaction times, etc...on the internet.

If you want to skip all that searching and reading...
- shoot 0.20's in close, indoor CQB...you're not giving anything up in speed or accuracy
- shoot 0.25's with low/mid powered guns outdoors...it'll be a great improvement
- shoot 0.28/0.30's in mid/high powered guns outdoors...you'll see a great improvement

Use quality BBs...for consistency, accuracy and reliability. BBBastard are just simply great. I've had decent success with Madbull BBs too. There are certainly other brands but those are the good reliable ones commonly available around here.
