my younger brother spent 4 hrs on the operating table after getting shot with a bb gun, if it had hit him in a vital spot it would of killed him.
i wasnt allowed to have an air gun of any sort growing up though i was given my own 22 at 12, reason....cousin of mine spent alot of hours on an OR table and nearly didnt make it out due to a pellet to the guts, whole episode was traumatic enough on his body docs figure it wound up stunting his growth....parents reasoning of 22 versus air rifle is ild never confuse a 22 with a toy....
