If one of these knuckleheads were to point a BB gun at someone - they have to know all bets are off if the pointee has a real weapon and can't recognize a toy. If you did shoot one of these kids - you might have a defense criminally - but I'm betting the entire family is going to sue in civil court and probably win.
They may sue, but they aint gonna win if it was a justified shooting.
