How much do airsoft and BB guns hurt?

Question

I was wondering how much it would hurt getting hit by with a airsoft gun. I've been paintballing before and it was alright but my parents won't let me and my bro paintball at home. I was wondering if airsoft is still fun and doesn't hurt a lot.

Answer 1

doesn't hurt that much at all. if from a distance then you wont feel any pain. if you get shot close- range then you'll feel a sharp sting that will last a few seconds. the fps doesn't matter a whole bunch unless you're close- range. the weight of the bb does matter. a heavier bb will sting more than a lighter one can. airsoft is fun, but i'm sure paintballing is better.

Answer 2

from ten feet away a 250 fps gun would leave you a pink welt.

a 315 fps gun from ten feet away would give you a purple welt.

350 fps+ and you know wat happends next lol OUCH

Answer 3

one time me and my uncle were playing air soft when i got hit in the for head from like 6 feet away, with a spring rifle. yeah that hurt. if you get hit somewhere you have clothing you will be fine, it stings for like 5 seconds, then it goes away. just remember to protect your eyes. airsoft is still fun

Answer 4

From about 20 ft and beyond, it stings, depending on the fps. 300 and lower might sting a little, but more than likely your clothes will take the hit. Above 300, it sucks a little more. 370 is a welt that lasts a couple days. A hit from a sniper (they are supposed to have a 100ft engagement limit) would really hurt if closer than 70 ft. I can definitely say it won't hurt as much as paintball.
