Definitely. You can really see the difference when you use them in maruzen shell ejectors. My M1100 rev just chokes on excels because they fit much more loosely in the shell grommets and pop out as the gun cycles, cramming themselves into the inner workings. If you fill the shell completely (10) and shake it, you can hear the BBs rattle around inside. I have trouble even fitting 10 AEs into the shells; the last one doesn't quite stick in all the way because of the larger diameters. I find that AEs work best in my M1100 so far.

My GBBs love the excels though. Fewer jams and cleaner cycle on them. Maybe I should file down the feed lips a little
