Serious condition from a pellet gun?!  I mean I know it could happen.... but  you probably need a pretty high pressure pellet gun for what I would consider "serious" condition.

Initial reports on conditions of patient to media are usually a bit worse than they seem....in this case the inital report was a GSW to the chest so EMS and the hospital are going to consider it "serious" until they know for sure what they're dealing with....

I was waiting to hear the guy was alright before I made any comments about ridiculous Koko head ricochets.



.... Or laughing about the cemetary lol

Next obvious question...

How far is the closest cemetery??

 

Btw since it wasn't serious I can now admit that this was hilarious

I've just got an old Benjamin .22 pump, it'll blow through 1/2" plywood at 30'. Some of the new guns will do much higher velocities.

Anybody else expecting a new and more restrictive "Dangerous Air Rifles of Mass Destruction" bill to come out in the next session?

Yes, there are some high velocity bb & pellet guns out on the market.
Crono some guys .50 cal air pistol powered by air tank. He was  shooting  50 cal 180 grain ball projos @ 580 fps. Guy was hitting steel plates at 50 yards. Pretty impressive. Know of Kula farmers using .357 & .50 cal airguns for crop damage control on Maui. Those large caliber air guns are loud, almost like a firearm.
With the right projo i.e. alloy pellets has taken pigs. Seen a 150 pounder go down with a .177 alloy pellet on video. Oldman had the skull to prove it. Lots of YouTube vids out there on airgun hunting pigs. Legal on the mainland.
Oh no, big brother is not going to start registry or ban on Assault air guns as deadly weapons and regulating bb & pellets.
Seriously...
Hope victim is recovering and purp caught. Giving real firearm owners a bad name.

Put a flash suppressor, bayonet lug, and high capacity magazine on a air rifle and it'll get banned.

Description sounds like airsoft guns. Don't own any but know of family and friends who use them for training at home. When not at the range. Real fun training aids.
Banning anything would be really sick.
Need to get up beat and reload ) for this weekends shoot. Hope to see you all!
