There are many types of urban airsoft guns that you can pick up - including rifles, sniper rifles, shotguns and pistols. Each one of these will have a specific fps that you can depend on for getting a dead shot on your distant targets.
The location of your sight will go some way to determining your FPS in terms of how far it can go and how well it fits in within the country’s legal limit. That’s right, there has to be a certain limit on your airsoft gun. Each country has different limits of their fps, so you’ll have to check that before ordering one.
In the UK, for example, the Policing and Crime Bill changed its laws to drastically reduce the range of most airsoft guns. Below are some of the figures as of 2017:
Fully automatic gun - 350fps
Semi-automatic gun - 400fps
Bolt action gun - 500fps
Depending on what gun you buy, you can guarantee a certain level of fps. If you have your heart set on a longer and faster fps, then we would recommend that you get a bolt action version, which will launch your BB bullets a lot further.
You can get certain models of airsoft guns that cover a whopping 720 fps, so if it’s range you are looking for then you should have a gun that comes with this larger fps. However, these guns often come with a very expensive price tag, so make sure that you have the funds to cover such purchases.
