Break Glass?

Godfath3r · December 7th, 2006, 23:45

Im new to this and im wondering can these air soft guns break glass.....im not gonna be shooting them around glass im just curious how powerful they are and how much do they hurt if getting shot by one...even with equipment on?

thanks

Depends on the FPS of the gun...

If you throw your gun at a window it should break it. As for the BB breaking the glass well there's different thickness of glass and different FPS so it really depends of the situation.

Godfath3r · December 7th, 2006, 23:49

lets say 200fps-350fps

Chances are, a 200fps-350fps gun (with 0.20g BBs) won't break most glass applications such as windows. Even more so if the glass is tempered.

If it's a little ornamental glass figurine... maybe.

Tell ya what, since i'm in such a nice mood i'll come by your house and shoot you at various distances with various guns and then you can find out how much it hurts. And i'm only going to charge you $50 for it.

it feels like a bee sting on bare skin, and then the pain goes away almost right away.
you may end up with what looks like a pimple
as for with clothes on, chances are you wont really feel it.
with your vest and such on, you will only hear it hit you.

but honestly, pain is variable, people coming from paintball will say this tickles, while people who are new to these kind of games will say it hurts somewhat.

but no matter what, and no matter who you are, if you get hit on the tip of the nose, your gonna cry! OUCH

Since i'am in a good mood i'll assume you were trying to be funny and show off to your forum friends, these maybe stupid questions to you but they are precautions i must know b4 i get into such an expensive hobby...as i sad b4 id like to hear some experiences other people have had im not some 15yr old kid that comes in here thinks shootin things is fun..the questions i ask is ones my frineds ask me who are right into paintball this appeals to me because of the realism..

...well my aug tore appart a beer bottle at about 20 feet, it fires about 320 fps

It stings, it may welt on your skin, on certain occasions you'll see a bleeder here and there, and if some guy has a big mouth, chip tooth isn't impossible.

As for airsoft against glass, the closest thing I've heard is some guy's side mirror on his car got shot out.
