hello chaps,
Im taking my AGM Sten MK2 out this sunday to rack up its first few kills, also a chance to wear my brit kit for the first time 
which BB's would you chaps recommend? I have .25's and .20's , my garden isn't big enough to try em out 
cheers

Take both, and see which works better for you.
I've been drifting towards .25 of late for modern games. Was going to try them in my Stg this Sunday.

better by design

cheers chaps
Poacher, I tried .25's in my stg and found I was getting loads of miss feeds, tried .20's an they work a treat 
My Thompson seems to prefer .20s too.
One thing I will recommend: Don't overfill the mags - they'll jam. I use KA mids and fill a "pistol mag" speed loader, and use just that in each mag. That works out about 90-100 BBs.
my tm thompson is happy with either
I have 12 agm mp40 lo-caps to use with the sten, just need to get up to speed wit the mag changes lol
I use .2s in all mine. The ppsh shoots great with them, as does the MP44. .25s in my mp44 just don't get that good range, as the hop is seemingly not very powerful.
I have used .25's in everything for quite a while. If a gun is doing 310 or less than .2's are probably the way forward. I also like heavy BB's in my Pistols as they fly straight and if someone is hit by a .3 gram bb they generally know about it.
But what type of BB's leads to other questions, as in what make. I generally started off only using Excel BB's but they dried up and have moved to Devil BB's and they have worked fine. (although quite a few stores are getting bags of excels in again!) I have seen some awful bb's though at sites which you can see cast (possibly the wrong word) markings on them. 
I use the excel BB's, our club buys em in bulk
I prefer .25s as well. Forget about relying on range. To misquote Robert Capa: "If your shooting isn't good enough, you're not close enough"
0.25 excel all the way ,never had any issue with misfeeding.

Give me a big enough hammer and a place to stand and I could fix the world.
i'll kill a man in a fair fight or if i think he's going to start a fair fight or over a woman or.......
a problem shared is a problem halved ,but an advantage shared is no advantage at all
if a job's not worth doing then its certainly not worth doing well

which weapons do you use?
my bren uses moded ak hi caps,thompson uses both marui lo caps,king arms mid caps and hi caps,my sten(predating viva) uses king arms thompson mags and marui lo caps,mp40 works fine with agm mags and king arms mids .not to mention all my modern stuff all run fine on 0.25 excel.the only gun i have that doesent like em is my old type ksc mac11 and jaming on them is just adding to the realism

I found my Hudson Grease Gun also jammed with any type of .25 so i only ran .2's through her. Maybe its a Full Auto gas gun thing? The tighter inner barrel I installed might of for some reason affected it too.
It's more likely the weight/mass of the 0.25g BBs preventing the magazine spring from working properly.

Ah good shout, the springs on the hudsons were ever so weak!
springs on the mp44 mags are bad as well, spend most of the time winding them, even wth .20 bb's
I tend to use .20's in all my AEG's. I figure a machine gun shouldn't really be spot on accurate, so don't really care for groupings etc.
Pistols and rifles, i tend to use between .25g and .30g, as the single shot tends to need to be more accurate.
Did I read on a thread a while back, that someone recommended mixing .20 and .25 in their mags????
