Does it hurt to get hit with an airsoft gun?

Question

i just got an airsoft gun and me and my dad were thinking about having "Airsoft Wars", but first i wanted to know if it hurts to get hit with an airsoft gun? My gun is 240 fps., takes .12 gram 6mm pastic bb's, and was only $15.00 at Wal-Mart. Please Answer!

Answer 1

really depends on the range. if you get shot at close range it will sting quite a bit but if you're wearing a sweater you'd have to be really close to hurt someone. worst i've been hurt by a gun about that power was when the guy shooting me got me in the back through a sweater and it stung some. as long as you're wearing eye protection and don't get shot at point blank you'll be fine.

Answer 2

they sting a bit but not for long

Answer 3

I'd rate the pain scale at 50 feet as this:

100 FPS - what was that?

200FPS - Mildly annoying

300FPS - ouch

350FPS - Bee Sting

400FPS - Son of a @#$#!, and a lot of other explatives.

hope that helps.  Obviously the thicker your clothes the less it hurts.

Answer 4

It always frustrates me when people ask this question. IT'S A MATTER OF OPINION! ......

Answer 5

it will hurt, just consider that a pump action BB gun is 300fps, you can still play but just make sure to wear long sleves and eye protection, and dont aim for the face.

Answer 6

Your dad plays airsoft with you? Thats awesome! I wish my dad was that cool. lol. But if you have a 240 fps gun you will definitely feel it hit you but it wont hurt

Answer 7

with your gun i wouldnt worry it wont hurt a bit and will break after 3-4 hours. the hardest i was everhit was in and airsoft war with my friends and one shot me in the forehead from 10 ft with his tricked out 570 fps shotgun on impact i fell down and later a had what looked like a mini version of a paintball welt on my forehead

Answer 8

yes it hurts

I had the CO2 pistol that shot at 320fps and it felt like a bee sting and could draw blood at closer ranges.

Answer 9

Dude with your gun it wont hurt a bit. Buy a airsoft online cause there real good. It usually just stings for a second without army :]
