Airsoft Canada - View Single Post - The Joule and the Impact of the hit with heavier BBs

Okay, so I've been wondering about this for a while now.

When people use Higher weight BBs, they are usually for better accuracy.

But some people use it to make the opponent notice that they actually got hit(Because they think that heavier BBs = More impact)

But then again, if the velocity of the gun is... say 330FPS with 0.2g. That's 1Joule of Impact.

So if you use a 0.25g BB and the velocity goes down(lets say 280FPS), that's still 1 Joule of impact.

So if you use a heavier BB, and say that someone would feel the BB hit them harder, it's theoretically speaking, wrong isn't it?

I mean, it's the same impact power.
