Piercing Gun - Studs?

Can you use a regular earring in a piercing gun or does it have to be a piercing stud? Also if it does have to be a piercing stud where can I get them for a cheap price?

    Piercing guns are unsanitary because they are plastic and you cannot sterilize plastic with autoclave. Not to mention the fact that you get blunt force trauma because you're just shoving and earring throught your ear and tearing it instead of using a hollow needle and piercing it first and then inserting the jewelry. They were originally made to tag cattle so they're not intended for humans. In my opinion piercing guns should be banned. Go to a tattoo shop and let the professionals do it. It's cleaner, less painful, and they have the propper tools. If you're worried about it being cheap you don't need your ears pierced
