What is the maximum velocity allowed for air pistols in this program?

• A. 780 fps or less
• B. 820 fps or less
• C. 800 fps or less
• D. 860 fps or less

Answer: (C)

The limit being tested is the maximum velocity allowed for air pistols in this program. The correct rule is eight hundred feet per second or less. This cap keeps practice and competition safe and consistent, giving a predictable pellet path and reducing the risk of injury or damage from higher-speed projectiles. Speeds above this limit would not be permitted, while speeds below it are allowed; since the question asks for the maximum allowed, eight hundred feet per second is the right choice.
