Airsoft FPS - What Does it Mean

When buying an airlift gun, there are a few things you need to take into consideration. Weight, accuracy, color, design and FPS.

Now, if you are a computer gamer, FPS would normally mean First Person Shooter, but in the world of Airsoft, it is a figure that lets you know how powerful the gun or pistol is. FPS stands for "Feet Per Second" and lets you know how far and how fast the BB pellet will travel once fired. The higher the number, the faster and further the BB will travel.

Each weapon will have a rating and depending on what kind of gun you are buying, they will vary from less than 100 to over 300. The higher rated guns will most likely be sniper rifles or more professional guns.

The type of Airsoft gun you get will also have a bearing on what the FPS rating will be. Electric and spring loaded guns will have a lower FPS, but the compressed gas guns will have the highest. This is purely down to the mechanics of how the gun fires and is operated, nothing more than that.

So, when choosing your air soft gun, look for the FPS. If you want to shoot longer distances with more power, go for the higher rated weapons. If you are only using it at home, chose the ones with less power. It all depends on what you will be doing with the gun, where you will be using it and what you expect it to do. A low power gun will be perfect for hitting tin cans in your back yard.
