What is wrong with you people!!! (edit with point)
BB guns ARE REAL GUNS and should be treated as such! They are not toys! They CAN kill.
There was a post where many people were saying BB guns weren't real guns. A woman's child was shot with one and had to have surgery and stuff and some replies were "at least it wasn't a real gun"...
From Wikipedia:
The U.S. Army trained recruits in Quick Kill techniques using Daisy Model 99 BB guns to improve soldiers using their weapons in the Vietnam War from 1967-1973.[5] The technique was developed for the Army by Bobby Lamar "Lucky" McDaniel and Mike Jennings. The sights were removed from the BB guns for this training.
A 0.177 projectile fired above 350 ft/s (110 m/s) has skin piercing capability, and the potential can exist for delivering a fatal injury
Edit: links to news articles of fatal BB gun shooting on pages 1-2

Is there a point here, or are you simply educating us about BB guns?

Yes and I fully support police that shoot to kill suspects with BB guns.

Bb guns are guns. I've never seen a himan killed by one but I've seen people seriously injured by them before.
