In my experiences, it makes shit all of a difference. We are talking about things that weigh less than some feathers. I have used .2's and .25's and found no difference accept for the fact that I got 750 more .2's for wither the same price or 5 bucks cheaper. I know all of the scientific comparisons look good on screen but when you actually get out there and play, you'll find it makes no difference.
The effects of wind and the environment are pretty harsh on things that weigh in the .xx gram area. Is .05 grams going to make much of a difference up against a 20 km/h gust wind or a leaf that is potentially several mm thick? I don't think so.
The only place I found them to make a difference was inside the gun where they are effected by equal force. .25's lower your speed and the way I hear it, things that move and hit their target faster, stay on course much better. I preffer to get more FPS because in the end, things that make impact harder seem to hurt more so people notice it. I grant it will be slightly, ever so slightly less effective through gear though.
I think all the differences people talk about are more just...well, perhaps a comfort factor for believing something gives an edge. No offence though. Again this is just me talkin'. Mabey some of you truley do get better results with .25. Only way to find out is to load up mags with either and test them without knowing which is which.
As for me, I'll stick for getting more for what I pay for. .25's either comming in packs of less or costing 5 bucks more kind of a rip off anyway.
