Ditto, 0.25g are by far the best performance BBs out there. I've tried 0.30g BBs in my MP5 and the results weren't that impressive (BUT, using them in my G19 extends my accurate range to past 100ft) but with my MP5 shooting around 370fps w/0.20, I can still get kills out to 150ft easily.

I wouldn't say use them for more sting, I'd say use them for better brush cutting (as Harley said) and for wind resistance and more accurate long range shots. BUT, add in that they hit harder, eliminating a good chunk of people not noticing they got hit. And they make a louder sound too, so you can yell them out if they pretend they didn't get hit.

After I upgraded my MP5, during a game my cousin was under a tree, prone, behind a thin chunk of dead grass. He was about 50ft away. Took me a locap and a half of 0.20g BBs to get a couple to go through to make him call hit. After that I went for 0.25g, that same scenario I could more than likely fire a quick 4-5 round burst, and each one of them would have gotten through.

In the end, just realise that it depends on what you mean by range. Range can be where the BB ends up on the ground, regardless of the path it took to get there, or range as in how far you can get BBs onto a guy. 0.20g will more likely end up farther away, but reduce the effective kill range by being less accurate past 120ft.
