Airsoft gun powerplants are designed to have low muzzle energy ratings (generally more than 1.1 J, or 1.1 ft⋅lb) and the bullets have significantly less penetrative and stopping power than conventional airguns, and are generally safe for competitive sporting and recreational purposes if proper protective gear is worn.
Most stock airsoft guns have 6.03–6.05 mm (0.237–0.238 in) bore barrels, but best performance [27] is usually seen with "tightbore" barrels, which are 6.01–6.05 mm (0.237–0.238 in) in diameter. However, the tighter the bore, the more likely the chance of a pellet jam, and subsequently, tightbores need to be cleaned and lubricated regularly.
A para-athlete competing with a match air rifle A collection of lever-action, spring-piston air rifles. An air gun or airgun is a gun that uses energy from compressed air or other gases that are mechanically pressurized and then released to propel and accelerate projectiles, similar to the principle of the primitive blowgun.

The Bell P-63 Kingcobra is an American fighter aircraft that was developed by Bell Aircraft during World War II. Based on the preceding Bell P-39 Airacobra , the P-63's design incorporated suggestions from P-39 pilots and was superior to its predecessor in virtually all respects.

The first production P-59A with a Bell P-63 Kingcobra behind. The 13 service test YP-59As had a more powerful engine than their predecessor, the General Electric J31, but the performance improvement was negligible, with top speed increased by only 5 mph and a reduction in the time they could be used before an overhaul was needed.
