Re: ME: Adult shoots 9-year-old with pellet gun

I've had a springer pellet gun since I was 9. I have several now.
1000 FPS is about the working limit for .177, and about 800 FPS for .22.
Anything more requires the lightweight pellets, a full moon, and probably a near-vacuum. And a marketing guy.
Not much mass there, but still plenty to do damage.

Those aren't regulated like firearms, and I'm OK with that, but they can sure hurt you.
