Emmm...it's definitely going to hurt,but not that badly. It's very complicated and depends on a lot of factors, such as the power of the airsoft gun, the weight of the BB,the amount of clothing and protective gear ,your personal pain tolerance,the place on your body you've been hit,the distance you've been shot from,all these factors will impact the amount of pain you may feel.
1.BB's kinetic energy.There are two factors that will impact the BB's kinetic energy: the weight of the BB and the power of the airsoft gun. In a nutshell, a BB will strike and sting harder and more intensively the heavier it is and the faster it moves. If you fire a 20g BB at a velocity of 400 feet per second (121.92 meters per second), The kinetic energy is 1.49 joules. (The maximum initial kinetic energy limit of most fields in the United States), but most fields only limit close range, do not allow full-auto (except DMR and sniper rifle), and do not limit the minimum engagement distance (except DMR and sniper rifle).So in this condition, if you are hit at a very close distance, it is certainly very painful.
2.Protective gear and pain tolerance .There's a pretty big difference between a BB striking bare skin and a BB striking soft armor. If you're shot through clothing or armor,it might feel more like a poke . But if you're shot on bare skin,it might feel like a bee sting and may also be accompanied by bruising and bleeding. Different body parts have different degrees of sensitivity to pain. The knuckles and eyes are definitely more painful than the buttocks and back if such parts are shot, so every regular field will certainly require players to wear the necessary protective gear to start the game. At the same time, everyone's perception of pain is different, and some people have a lower pain tolerance than others, so such people are more sensitive.
3.The distance between the shooter and you .In general, the farther away you are, the more difficult it is to feel the BB hit you, and the closer you are, the more painful it will be to hit you and possibly bleed. For example, if a person hits you at a distance of 30–50 yards, you may not even feel yourself being hit, but if a person hits you at a distance of 5–10 yards, you will definitely feel it.For example, if a person hits you at a distance of 30–50 yards, you may not even feel yourself being hit, but if a person hits you at a distance of 5–10 yards, you will definitely feel it.
In general,the feeling of BB hitting the body ranges from not feeling you've been hit to very stinging and even bleeding. Playing airsoft can sting, but don't let it deter you from trying out this awesome sport. As long as you have the proper protection and play the game by the rules, it brings you much more pleasure than the hits that hurt your body.
