do airsoft guns hurt?

They don't hurt as much as a BB gun, but at a close-enough range, they can, indeed, leave a welt on you.\n\nBut, from farther away, it's not that bad.

Dude, if you have torsion, trust me, you won't be standing, and you will know it.  Imagine the most intense pain of your life, now imagine it a million times worse.  Seriously.  i was shot in iraq, and it didn't hurt as bad as tortion.

If you are left-handed you need to be careful when firing an automatic rifle. The hot shells that get ejected can get into your shirt, and cause some serious discomfort.

No, but it won't hurt. (unless you are using steroids).

Some joint of mine always feels a little bit of discomfort.  But that's ok, as it reminds me to be cautious while active.  These little pains help keep me from experiencing major pain from injury.

it hurts really bad i was shot in the stomach \nit feels like some one hit you with a steel pipe then the burning begins because of the heat of the bullet .\nyou can feel it in you then you start bleeding really bad and can not stand up because of the pain and injury that the bullet has caused .but the worst pain is when you are healing from the surgery's that you have to go through from the damage that was caused \nnot a very pleasant experience at all

I know what you're trying to do.  You're not the first one to try it.  Pellet guns were designed to shoot with a certain amount of pressure from the co2 canister, now all of a sudden you're putting a helium in there.  It will break your airsoft gun's bolt lugs.\n\nRead this.\nhttp://www.network54.com/Forum/79537/message/1113147751/NO!

I disagree about airsoft is cheaper.  An upgraded airsoft gun, could cost up to $1000 or more.  There are low end guns just like paintball guns.  Most of them will start out around $250+ and with full tone upgrades, you could spend about $500 internally, and with any aiming device or scope you added on it will cost you another few hundred, especially if you use scopes or aiming device for the real steel.  However you can start playing with essential equipment, such as: AEG, tactical vest, extra magazines, BBs, battery, charger, face mask or goggle for about $500+\n\nI have played paintball and now I am a hard core airsoft player.  A lots of paintballers have switched to airsoft for its realism and milsim.  Neither is cheap when you choose to play with decent guns and gears.  If you want more realism, then go with airsoft.  They both hurt, if you don't wanna get shot, then duck!  Paintballs are bigger travelling at about 300FPS and stock airsoft AEG (air eletric gun) travels at 280-300FPS using .02gram BBs.  Most players upgraded theirs to 400 to 500FPS depends on their local rules.  500FPS are usually restricted because it's equivlent to 1 joule of energy, which can penetrate skin.  And there are players who got shot up pretty good with BBs fired from a HOT gun.  \nMost games have chorograph device to measure FPS of your AEG or Gas gun.  If your gun runs too hot, then you will not be allowed to play.  It's a saftey issue we have to have be aware of.\n\nPaint bbs are available but airsoft is a true honor system, but we don't use it in airsoft.  You call hit once you get hit and rules are usually set before the game starts.\nPaintballers uniform are usually more colorful especially after they get shot games after games.\nAirsofters uniform are mostly military uniform, depends on the teams.\nBoth require basic protections for the eyes, goggles are MUST!  Full face mask is option for some airsoft games.\n\nI have never bled playing paintball, only bruises.  I had got shot by the eyebrow right between the goggle and helmet and on the nose as well with blood all over my face. So when someone said airsoft doesn't hurt as much, then they probably haven't played that much.  The games I have played are mostly composed of 20 to 50 players in a large boonie field, as well as CQB range.  \n\nIf people said airsoft is cheaper, then they probably get their stuffs from wal-mart.  Check out www.airsoftextreme.com, www.uncompany.com  www.globalairsoft.com or www.wargameclub.com  These shops offer decent prices.\n\nThere will be a lot more for you to know.  Could be overwhelming...

a hard cup is best.  i have been shot around the balls more than i care to get shot, and another reason is so you dont get hit in the nuts with a frozen paintball.  i was witness to that when my friend got hit and mine were tingling just seeing it before my eyes

Airsoft was the biggest waste of money in my life I got all the stuff to play, but there were no local leagues or anything so unless you have a local league I wouldnt do it. As far as laws the only one I know of is to make sure your gun has the orange tip on the front...\n\n\n~Johnny

Hello:\n\nI don't know what an airsoft gun is, and I don't know where Lee's Summit is.  However, if it's not a tank or an "automatic" weapon, or an "assault" weapon, the gun is legal.\n\nHowever, there are some PEOPLE who can't own guns anywhere.\n\nexcon

I was shot with a shotgun at long range.As far as what it felt like IT HURT LIKE HELL. And as far as how I reacted RUN, HIDE,ESCAPE. I didn't have a gun to shoot back I don't think I could even if I did. I was in a world of hurt. Man I ran like a scared rabbit. I am not a super hero, bullets DO NOT bounce off, they just hurt. If you want to know what it felt like how does 100 hornets stinging you sound?

Well i speak from experience. Being shot is extremely painful and I don't recommend it to any one. First you will feel nothing then, it feels like being hit by an extremely strong force all in one spot of your body, the entrance point. After, it does burn because of the heat created by the bullets rotation in the air. Later a large bruise will form around the wound and it will ache like an SOB.

Depends on the weapon, the trajectory, the type of ammunition, etc. But if you shot someone straight up the rectum with something like a .45, they won't have to worry about kissing their arse goodbye, because death will most probably come very quickly.

Yes you can, the airsoft pellets are soft enough they should not damage your JT Mask. As with paintball though, be careful not to take face shots close up.

Good point! I've seen much worse damage on somebody's face who got shot with a pellet gun!
