How efficient a BB gun actually is?

A BB gun is usually a popular choice among all young boys and men. A lot of people want to buy a BB gun but they do not know how efficient a BB gun actually is.

The various commercial BB firing air gun models are designed to offer a shot that easily travels at a speed of 200 ft/s or 61 m/s.

The usual bb gun used as a toy also has a fantastic shooting capability which lets the gun shoot at a speed of 280 ft/s or 85 m/s. The typical adult BB guns generally offer a shot with a speed of 300-450 ft/s.

Some of the commercial BB gun models that also include the pellet guns are able to fire much faster at a speed of more than even 550 ft/s or 170 m/s. Although, most of the claims are usually exaggerated, a few of the BB guns can actually fire a standard lead pellet of 0.177 size, at a speed which is faster than 1000 ft/s, which is close to 680 m/hour.
