How true! I posted in a different thread about being in Cleveland (around 2000-01) and watching a news story unfold about a teenaged youth killed in a random pellet gun shooting. I also remember this item in the news.WildBill wrote:Pellet guns may not be firearms, but they are not toys.Keith B wrote:Yes, and they have the same velocity as a .22 at 1700+ fps. While only a single shot, they can still be a deadly weapon. Heck, even the spring loaded BB guns can be dangerous. I have a friend that didn't shoot his own eye out, but did shoot his brother's out when they were kids.philip964 wrote:I was in Walmart the other day, they sell really serious pellet guns. I didn't know there was a such a thing as a .22 cal pellet gun.
I guess this happens more than we think:
