I have a TON of 0.2 gram airsoft ammo, but it's not super polished so it doesn't feed into my gun. It gets all jammed in the magazine and double stacks. Does that mean it's junk or would it maybe work in a different magazine/gun?
Not that this is a sale thread, but if the latter is true I'd be willing to sell it to someone for super cheap.
Throw it away. No one will buy crappy bbs that could do harm to there gun. Only buy from trusted brands like ksc, firepower, G&G etc.

I found the "firepower" PL sells to not be so great. Go with AE, KSC, and G&G (in order from best to great).
/There's a reason firepower is sold in bags of 5000ct when AE sells for the same price in bags of 3000ct. A good compromise are the G&G which are sold at the same price in bags of 4000ct.

Could you please clarify on that? Were one of your AEG's destroyed by them? I'm sure I'm not the only person who is wondering.

They don't look nearly as polished as AEs or KSCs and the firepower bbs seem to not fly the same. I've used KSC and AE .25g in my M16 with the hop up set the same for both. They fly pretty much the same. The firepower .25s do not. They go lower. If you really care I could document a test but then again, you'd have to take me for my word. I also have to make clear that I only bought one bag of these bbs and it could have been a defective bag. Mike bought a bag of G&G bbs a couple months ago and they were defective. Airarmory (great site) added a free bag on his next order to make up for them without even him sending in the faulty bag.
Anyhow, if they work for you, go for it. I didn't like them. Some don't like SCS/PCS nubs. I do. Everyone's different.

Not to hijack, but actually, I'd be interested in hearing more. I've noticed there's something "different" about the Firepowers but I could never put my finger on exactly why beyond the loading part. Once they're in the mag/gun, they fire fine for me and I had no problem hitting targets, but when using my speed-loader to load them into the mag, it always requires extra work. They get "jammed" in the loaders (all loaders), where I have to smack the thing to get the next 4 BBs under the plunger.

I never noticed it with KSC or Excel.
Sorry, I won't be able to do the test. No time. No bbs. And I will never buy them again. I too noticed how much harder they are loading in the mags.
However, I cam to a verdict without contacting a full on test. If you take one and compare it to the KSC or Airsoft Elite, you will see the firepower is no where near as glossy and polished.
What really puts the final nail in the coffin of firepower bbs being "high quality polished bbs" is something I noticed with my Mac 10.
For those who do not know, the TM MAC 10 is more prone to jams than other guns as it has this system of feeding all the bbs in the magazine. One thing I noticed with the firepower bbs that I NEVER had a problem with AE, KSCS, or G&G bbs was the gun would jam when you put a new mag in ALL the time. I'd have to take the mag out, shake out the gun, and fire it upside down to clear the jam. I'd repeat this until the gun started shooting properly when I reinserted the mag.
So there you have it.
Again, I do not recommend these and instead suggest AE, KSC, or (my favorite) G&G from airarmory.com because of their price per amount.
As GTA said, Airarmory.com is the best place to get, IMO, the best bbs (quality and price considered), G&G PSBBs. Airarmory has the best prices on them, and I get them next day, every time. I noticed a great increase in accuracy and consistency when I switched from TSD's to G&G's.
