Can an airsoft gun kill a person?

Answer 1

There is only one way to be seriously hurt with an airsoft gun, and that is to be shot directly in the eye. As long as you wear a face mask, the worst you can get is a welt or at close ranges you could bleed a bit, but you won't ever get hurt badly unless you do something stupid.

Answer 2

IF proper protection gear is worn and IF all safety rules are followed and IF the hit is in one of the protected areas, then you will have to factor in how many foot pounds of force the projectile will deliver. After all that, IT MIGHT be safe. Throw out the protective gear, safety rules and a hit in a non-protected area, THE POSSIBLITY FOR DEATH AND INJURY EXISTS.

Answer 3

There is no average. All of the guns are different depending on the type and brand. the really cheap ones are anywhere from 75 - 200 the better quality ones are anywhere from 250 to 600. Avid players usually keep theirs around 400 unless your a sniper in which case the fps is ramped up to 500, or you are playing CQB indoor. CQB has a 360 fps limit.

Answer 4

Well.....around 450fps will break skin, sometime lower depending on where you hit. So what do you consider deadly? I don't appreciate getting hit with more than 430fps, myself. I believe anything over 520fps is considered target quality and not to be shot at others.

Answer 5

At the regulated FPS you could not kill someone with an airsoft gun. Accidents typical of extreme sports have resulted in death at airsoft fields, such as heart attacks and falls, but an airsoft gun does not have the power to penetrate human skin enough to cause critical injury.

Answer 6

The legal amount of fps for an airsoft gun to war with for CQB is around 300, for field however is 550.

Answer 7

Not really... Unless you shoot them in the eye or somewhere else very private to you with a 200-1000 fps gun

Answer 8

Given the right circumstances and how used, yes.

Answer 9

Out of the box and with standard airsoft pellets the worst they can do is leave a welt and bruising.

Answer 10

I guess if somebody has such a powerful gun that it blows through your eyeball into your brain.

but that is very highly unlikely
