The level of pain caused by an airsoft shot can vary depending on several factors, including the distance between the shooter and the target, the velocity of the airsoft gun, and the type of protective gear worn by the target.

At close range, an airsoft shot can be pretty painful, especially if the pellet hits an unprotected body area such as the face or neck. However, the pain is usually minimal and more of a stinging sensation at longer distances or with proper protective gear such as a mask

or goggles

.

It's important to note that while airsoft guns

are designed to be non-lethal, they can still cause injury or harm if not used correctly or if safety precautions are not followed. So always wear proper protective gear to avoid injury or pain and follow all safety guidelines when using airsoft guns.
