Can an administrator please edit this title? Edit: Thanks, old one was misleading.

Pellet guns are basically fucking smaller firearms. Shit's serious.

[QUOTE=Paul McCartney;40871853]Pellet guns are basically fucking smaller firearms. Shit's serious.[/QUOTE] except real guns shoot metal instead of plastic at a significantly higher velocity that leave holes in your body

[QUOTE=polarbear.;40871870]except real guns shoot metal instead of plastic at a significantly higher velocity that leave holes in your body[/QUOTE] Pellet guns shoot lead pellets at a high velocity. If you get shot with one its going to penetrate skin and sit there.

[QUOTE=polarbear.;40871870]except real guns shoot metal instead of plastic at a significantly higher velocity that leave holes in your body[/QUOTE] PELLET gun not air soft gun

pellet RIFLE not pellet gun

Pellet guns can even kill if you're extremely unlucky

[QUOTE=meppers;40871991]Pellet guns can even kill if you're extremely unlucky[/QUOTE] I really don't think they have the speed to kill you but they could easily take your eyes out.

[QUOTE=ZestyLemons;40872071]I really don't think they have the speed to kill you but they could easily take your eyes out.[/QUOTE] Some of the expensive ones can easily kill you. For example there are these .50 airguns that have ridicilous pressure tanks and are designed for hunting.

[QUOTE=TheCloak;40872733]Do you have any links to some of these online?[/QUOTE] pyramidair has some. They're basically muskets but replaced the explosion with compressed air.

This teen was being an absolute dick. Suspend that ass. Airsoft hurts and is actually very dangerous because it can cause serious damage if certain parts of the body are hit, eyes, throat, etc.
