Performance

Airsoft guns shoot 0.2 g BBs at velocities from 100 ft/s (30 m/s) for a low-end spring pistol, to 550 ft/s (170 m/s) and beyond for heavily-upgraded customised sniper rifles.

Most non-upgraded AEGs using the Tokyo Marui system are in the middle of this range, producing velocities from 270 to 300 ft/s (80 to 90 m/s), but upgrades to the internal components can increase the pellet velocity significantly. However, many structural reinforcements are necessary in order to upgrade AEG's without damaging the internal components of the gun.
