unless you hav really crappy gun like something under 200 fps it shouldn't hurt. Anything 200- 290 fps wont hurt at all if you get shot from more than 20 feet.
between 300 and 350 fps you will feel a sting, but there will probably not be a visible mark. Anything up from there will cause a more significant sting and cause small welts, which increase in size and pain as fps does.
No.
Yes they come in both airsoft and pellet format. See the link Below for Spring Pellet pistols and Airsoft pistols
No- and it would be very dangerous to try. Pellet guns and airsoft are two very different things.

pellet=no bb's= 6mm plastic not copper.
The Beeman P-17 is a Pellet Pistol not an Airsoft Pistol. Airsoft shoot 6MM plastic BB's. The P-17 shoots .177 caliber Pellets at 410 Feet Per Second. (FPS) considerably faster and deadlier than any airsoft pistol. Do not shoot anyone else with a pellet pistol it could cause serious injury. If you are not sure how to shoot a pellet pistol find someone who understands shooting to teach you. Pellet pistols are beyond BB guns so the P-17 is NOT a BB gun. Be safe.
all you have to do is buy the gun after that do what you want
Feet per second, referring to how fast a BB pellet travels.
If you get hit by a airsoft pellet you should seek medical attention at a hospital immediately. Chances are you lost sight in your eye. :( You should never get hit in the eye. Always wear eye and mouth protection to prevent blindness and the chipping of teeth.
In my opinion airsoft wars do not hurt but yet I play paintball. But it really matter what fps the airsoft gun is and how close they are to you and if they are shooting you once. But really airsoft does't pack a punch in the hit it just stings a little bit.
Yes if it's a Pellet or BB gun, not airsoft. It is possible.
A pellet Gun and a Air gun are the same thing. A pellet rifle and an air rifle are the same thing. You are most likely referring to a Pellet gun/rifle verses an Airsoft gun/rifle. Pellet guns fire a metal projectile up to 1.500 FPS (Feet per Second) and are used for target practice or hunting. Airsoft guns are capable of firing a 6mm plastic projectile up to 500 FPS and are designed to be used in Combat play where people shoot at each other. Much like Paintball only with less force. That's where the term "SOFT" come from. Unfortunately "AirSoft guns" are often mistakenly referred to as "air guns" when they should be referred to as 'AirSoft guns". Airsoft is considered more as a toy where "pellet air guns" are the next closest thing to a firearm with less power. Airsoft guns/rifles all have red tips to let everyone know that they can be shot at another person. Pellet air guns/rifles look similar to a firearm (NO RED TIP) and are never used in team play where people shoot at each other.
