Hahahha, true.

Alright:

1) JOC and most of Alberta sets the limit roughly 500 FPS (JOC itself works around 480 for any marksman rifle in semi only or bolt action), chrono'd using 0.2G BBs. If I remember my basic physics correctly, the muzzle energy of is roughly a little over 2.1 Joules. How much energy is retained at range however I'm sadly unaware of.

2) Average shots as a sniper varies depending on which role the sniper chooses. As a strategic / recon sniper, it's entirely possible to not shoot a single round the entire time, or maybe just one or two. A DMR goes through a lot more ammo; with my VSR I usually ate 200 BBs a game if I was firing heavily. That also of course doesn't include practice with the weapon.

3) Mmm, I'd pick the longest range practically available that doesn't compromise any safety rules. A 10cm grouping at 40 meters is already outranging the vast majority of airsoft rifles, and that's quite a good minute of man.
