Post; BB guns fun but can be lethal in the hands of an idiot (me)


When I was still at school about 6/7 years ago now my friend introduced me to airsoft and we had lots of fun plinking targets in his back yard.

Then we decided to improve it so in his dads garage we stripped it and took out the spring. We took the spring to a scrap yard and spoke to a friend of ours that worked there who managed to find us a spring same width, but slightly longer. It took us a while to get the topslide back on the pistol a beretta 92F mock up but when we did we cocked it and fired off a mag or two we had improved the distance and the power.

Never, ever shoot a 6 foot 2 man in the leg especially if you:-
a. think its funny
b. he is 6 foot wide aswell
and c. if he is too close to you to make running an option

He saw the funny side eventually, but the bruise on his leg was massive it looked as if someone had hit him with a cricket bat, not shot him with a farty little plastic ball bearing

That's deserving of its thread

Did it penetrate his skin?? And what happened to you?

Didn't someone else around here get arrested for shooting someone with a BB gun? I guess that lady didn't see the humor!

I shot a friend of mine in the neck once, because we were shooting eachother. They were only plastic so it didn't hurt that much. He's a cop now, so that says enough. *laughs*

Your still playing with BB guns? When I get bored I find it more fun to shoot up an old, rusty car with a SKS.
