I'm guessing it's a BB gun, but still not good to point at people

Yeah it makes no difference, a gun is a gun.

That's Gun 101.

It makes a huge difference, but I get your point. A BB gun will cause a little welt if it hits anywhere besides your eyes. An actual firearm has the potential to kill or cripple you, regardless of where it hits.

Not really true in practice. Airsoft and paintball are guns in form and function but they are intended to be aimed at people for fun.

Even with Airsoft/Paintball you would practice gun safety, and not point them at people who are not part of the event, or who are but are not actively ready to participate.

Could still fuck your eyes up.
