they vary from 500 to 950

Don't confuse BB guns with Pellet guns.
FPS stands for "Feet Per Second." The slowest BB gun I know of is the Marksman 1010 Classic it's rated at 200 FPS. Some of the fastest are made by IZH Drozd that are rated at 541 FPS. There are a few BB rifles that may exceed this FPS.
Pellet rifles and gun can far exceed the 600 FPS barrier. A few are known to reach over 1,400 FPS.
The most powerful air guns are in the PCP class( PreCharged Pneumatic) of air guns and rifles. These require a special hand pump or Scuba tank to charge them to 3000 PSI and are capable of firing a 50 Caliber Ball.
500 fps
250 FPS
360 FPS
70 FPS is considered low for a bb gun, of course if you were shot with it it would still hurt.
In a BB gun (Not airsoft) this is considered very slow.
For an air/piston powered .177 BB gun - anything less than 200 feet per second (fps) For a CO2 powered BB gun - anything less than 300 fps. For an "AIR SOFT" gun - anything less than 150 fps.
It was rated at 350 FPS. The same as the Red Ryder BB Rifle
200 or so ------------------------------------------------- The slowest BB gun ( NOT Airsoft or Pellet gun) that I know of is the Marksman 1010, it is rated at 200 FPS. The fastest BB gun I could find is the Crosman 2100 that is rated at 755 FPS. This gives you an average of 477.5 FPS Pellet guns and rifles can attain much faster speeds.
It all depends on where you are struck. But anything above 300 FPS can do damage Remember NEVER point a BB or Pellet gun at anyone.
the most fps in a gun is 500 or more and my best gun is a mp44 because its 517 fps and it hurts and it feels like a bb gun
For a air soft BB gun it's okay not powerful. For a regular BB gun "NO" that is not powerful at all. A Daisy Red Ryder BB rifle will fire around 325 FPS most new pellet Air Rifles will fire at least 1,000 FPS. A really good Air soft rifle will get around 500 FPS.
anywhere from 250 FPS to 600 FPS, depending on the model.
