I didn't mean my answer to come off as aggressive. Apologies if it came off that way. I was just talking to everyone here in general ha. I'm just a bit confused as to why people don't consider bb guns to be a potentially serious weapon. I'm just imaging what would happen if you were to shoot someone in the face with a bb gun. I feel like it would be game over for that person. Either permanently fucked, or killed.

Losing an eye sure but I think death is a bit far for a bb gun (I have done 0 research) but maybe a pellet gun where the projectiles are more bullet shaped maybe. It also depends on how the gun operates and how fast it sends the bbs

Edit: 4 deaths per year in the US I stand corrected

Ha that's because everyone just buys real guns now.

I wonder what the number would be if in included people shot by other people when brandishing a bb gun... maybe not
