Unfortunately, the only answer is, until it breaks. Assuming you paid the money for a solid brand, purchased from a reputable company and take care of it properly, then it should last you years. But you won't know that until it craters. As for brand new, fire a few mags through. If it cycles properly, sounds right and is properly lubricated you should be fine.

First thing for any new gbb's is to strip it down, clean it thoroughly, and re-lube it properly.

I do this process after each game.

First you have to bury it in your backyard for no less than six months.
Start in Fall and dig it up mid Summer.

Once released from it's tomb, be sure to throw it really hard at a solid concrete surface.
I mean really whip it at that wall, show no mercy. We are talking reliability here after all. No pussies allowed.

Lastly, bake in an oven on broil for like, a day. Only truly reliable guns can take the heat.

Then load it up and go shooting!

All jest aside, guns work until they don't, if you're new you will experience it the same way we all have: Do your research, buy quality brands, and you will be fine.

A similar question would be "how many kilometers can my car drive before the engine breaks?".
Nobody can give you an accurate answer. Problems come up, maintenance is neglected. It lasts as long as it lasts, breaking down is inevitable. But that's why being able to get aftermarket or repair parts is so important.

Too the OP; super helpfull if you post what brand and model of airsoft pistol you've got. Tokyo Marui 226, lasts for decades even if you're subnormal. Skeleton Sidearms 226, last for minutes even if you're lucky.

That's a little excessive.
