[QUOTE=yawmwen;19502493]It isn't always intent, however. If someone shot at another person with a firearm, [B]no matter what their intent, it is attempted murder[/B]. So they have to prove that the person either had intent to kill, or shot him with a weapon that was dangerous enough.[/QUOTE]
I doubt it, it's up to the discretion of the prosecutors about what crimes they should be tried for. In a lot of cases I guess they'd try for attempted murder, but in some cases it'd be so obviously not the case that they wouldn't pursue it. (like... if you're an idiot cleaning a loaded gun and shoot your friend in the leg)
He pissed off the wrong man.
[QUOTE=yawmwen;19501921]It's a bad example, because obviously a line has to be drawn somewhere(you can't get someone for attempted murder because they tried to kill a person by yelling at them or something completely retarded), however, in most cases intent to cause harm is the main thing.[/QUOTE]
Which is why we need a unit of measuring pain
[QUOTE=Epidemick;19503230]Which is why we need a unit of measuring pain[/QUOTE]
Once it gets to a certain point it won't be measurable, it will just be "Excruciating Pain". It's hard to compare pains anyways because they are so different. Getting kicked in the shin with a steel toe boot is a different pain than getting kicked in the nuts, and it's hard to say which one is worse, because they are so different.
In order to kill a person with pretty much any power air rifle you'd have to shoot them in the eye and the bb or pellet would have to penetrate the eye and then hit the brain...
So...bb gun or air rifle. Because it is possible to kill with an air rifle, but it would depends on the power.
This is an air rifle

And this is the ammo- lead pellets

As I said...you'd pretty much have to hit the persons brain.
It might hurt like a motherfucker but you're not gonna bleed out from a pellet
Indians think we hate them because like 3 of them got bashed over here.
There's billions of the fuckers they should calm down.

[QUOTE=FunnyBunny;19501712]This is stupid. The guy should get off without even a fine. If you piss in the streets you deserve to get shot with a bb gun. Maybe then we'd have less people pissing in the streets.[/QUOTE]
Because it's india. One really backward country
That guy must have a really [I]pissy[/I] attitude..
"The engineer... shot at the man with an air rifle"
New engineer unlock confirmed
An [b]Air Rifle[/b] is not a bb gun and can easily kill someone if you hit them in the right place..... not the arm
If an air rifle is Overpowered (More than 11 ft lb (15J) then it is classed as an illegal firearm. hence why he got such a harsh punishment.
For the record, an air gun is not a bb gun. BB guns shoot harmless (relatively) 6mm plastic balls. Air guns are generally gas-powered rifles that fire .22 metal slugs that are meant for hunting birds and other small game. And yeah, those could easily kill a man. He deserves the attempted murder charge.

We need flavors of pain
Maybe the would you rather in a giant bracket sort of thing to classify everything

It wouldn't work. I can't choose whether I would rather be stabbed in the shoulder(considered one of the worst pains you can possibly feel) or getting a clamp to my nutsack.
[QUOTE=yawmwen;19501028]I'm sure you could kill someone with a bb gun, depending on the power of the gun, size of the bb(or if they use a pellet then it is 5 times worse), and the place hit.[/QUOTE]
Sure, just hold the muzzle to his eye and clickclicliclkcliclilck. Otherwise, it'd be pretty bloody hard to KILL a man with one...
This is just a silly overreaction.
I'm on the fence in regards to this issue.

It was NOT a bb gun. Read the article, not the title.

Of course you are. I always shit all over the streets.
Some modified BB guns can kill a person if hit in the correct spot
I remember when i read the local news, a kid got shot with a BB gun, it pierced in to his heart, apperantly.
This man should be employed by them not prosecuted. Jezz, India's such a shit hole.
