Yep. 450 FPS on an airsoft gun isn't all that much.
Que pasa?

Are you joking?? That would mess you up so bad. I don't think you realize how fast 1050 fps is.

arent really bullets only shot at like 600fps?

and how is airsoft a waste. i think that speedball is awesome but paintball isnt much good for woodball or scenario. airsoft is far better for a more milsim style. there are many advantages to both.

1050 fps is very close to mach 1, which will most
likely penetrate most of the way through a person.
most airsoft fields have a hard cap at 500 fps


As with paintball vs. airsoft fps, a paintball at 300 fps
has WAY more muzzle energy that a airsoft bb at 450
fps.

Compare being hit with a brick at 50 mph and a
raindrop at 60 mph.

Try 2930 fps for a 7.62x39 round.

wow,, guess the 600fps estimate was kinda, umm,,, really wrong. mabey thats just for a slug gun or something.

anyways,, most airsoft fields,, (not that i go to fields,, u just find a old factory) have a limit of 500fps so 450 isnt that bad.
