In the Hobby/Sport of Airsoft there is a wide range of acceptable and used velocities, mostly dictated by Country, State, and even field rules. Always double check your fields regulations.
Airsoft replicas are measured in muzzle velocity; either FPS (feet per second) or Joules (a calculated measure of impact energy). Airsoft MilSim allows for higher FPS/Joules because of longer distances between players as well as the idea that MilSim encourages "Big Boy Rules". Indoor fields generally allow lower velocities, primarily because distances between players are much shorter when playing indoors.
There is no Best velocity for airsoft replicas, its a matter of knowing what fields you will be visiting and having an airsoft replica that can be used in that environment or have a replica that has a way to adjust velocity.
