It depends on what kind of gun you have. If it is a spring pistol or a mini electric, then you should use .12 gram bbs. If the gun is a LPEG (low power electric gun, such as those found in Walmart), then you should use .2 gram instead, as the power in the gun can break the .12 and pieces can get stuck in the gun. If the gun is a MPEG (mid power electric gun), HPEG (high power electric gun), or gas pistol, then it is recommended to use high quality polished bbs, especially for the HPEG, as these guns are very expensive and cheaper made ones can jam it. They should be around .2 to .25, depending on the power of the gun. For sniper rifles, they should use .2 and higher; these are very strong and heavier bbs allow for greater accuracy but less speed. You can find all these at a sporting goods store or airsoft store, but it is recommended to go to the airsoft store because they will have knowledgeable staff able to help you make the right decision.

All airsoft guns can shoot .12g bbs. However with more powerful guns, heavier bbs are recommended for better accuracy
Type recommended by the maker of the airsoft.
The stinger p9 is good with .12 gram airsoft BBs or you can use .25 gram bbs but then it will decrease the range.
you can not use metal bbs in airsoft guns at all. they are not compatible because they are both built differently.
Deinitely go for elite if your a long range. Cqb use the madbull
no
yes they are very accurate
.25 Airsoft bbs can be good. Their weight is very good for accuracy and helps for a harder hit from the bbs. However, no bb is good if they are not high polish. Companies like Madbull and Matrix make good .25 bbs.
