Not nearly as painful as a paintball hit. It is not dangerous as long as you are wearing proper face and eye protection. Always wear proper eye and face protection when shooting Airsoft guns, Paintball guns , Firearms, or any other ballistic device. Make sure any and all other persons within range are also wearing proper face and eye protection. Never aim, point or shoot an Airsoft or Paintball Gun at another person or an animal.
Serious injury can result.
The ONLY exception to this rule is if you are engaged in a game in which all participants voluntarily participate, are aware of potential risks, and are ALL wearing proper face and eye protection. All observers within range of the Guns must also wear proper face and eye protection. Accuracy, Range, Velocity 10 shots averaged about 255 fps, with a low of 250 and a high of 260.
