I came up with that last year, works awesome (where did Droc get the idea?
) Droc tends to put the last 4 BBs in his Hi Capa mags as red, but puts more in his locaps for his AEGs. I usually put 8-12 red BBs in my MP5 locaps, then the rest 0.25g. Helps to know when the mag is running dry, but also cuts down on dry firing. If you put enough in, when you reload you can still keep a number of red 0.12g in it so you don't have to deal with two types of BBs.
One thing heavier BBs (0.25g) in AEGs that wasn't mentioned is for getting through brush easier. I've seen enough AEGs loaded with 0.20g (even upgraded ones) work hard and use a lot of ammo to try to get through even dead grass. Recall one time being shot at from an upgraded gun shooting 0.20g from a Star mag (game had just finished, but he didn't hear), he unloaded his 30rd mag at me from about 100ft away, I saw his BBs bouncing everwhere in between us because of the brush, only one came through and hit me in the arm. I called hit then told him the game had ended. Another time, I shot at my cousin Gunny, he was crawling under a cedar tree 40ft away, dead grass between him & myself, 350fps MP5, took me 1.5 locaps to get BBs through to make him call out.
My own experience is 0.20g are only useful indoors. Stock guns, they are made for 0.25g (TM anyways) so you gain an advantage from using them anyways. Don't get fooled into thinking an upgraded gun will make light BBs more effective, they really don't by much at all. Cheapest performance upgrade is a bit heavier BBs. Like HJ said, GBBs benefit greatly from heavier BBs (I shoot 0.30g in my KSC Glock 19s, get just over 100ft effectiveness).
