Could a BB Gun SAVE Your LIFE?! - Toy or Weapon??

[@davidbrayshaw3529]

I actually know someone who was shot in the backside with a relatively low powered air rifle. Not only did this immediately incapacitate him with acute pain but it also landed him in hospital and ultimately surgery. The "gentleman" that fired the weapon was charged with and found guilty of a number of firearm offences which proceeded to conviction. Air rifles are not to be misused.

[@michaeltheoret8913]

Back when I was in my twenties ,some " really nice Young Man" shot me with a CO2 pellet pistol and the pellet hit me in the lower abdomen just above the left hip and it made a pretty deep hole going in . It stung like the Dickens too - hmmm, I wonder if that pellet is still inside deep under the skin . I have DEFINITELY censored what I ACTUALLY should say about the Guy, replacing obscenities with the phrase " really nice Young Man" as I wish NOT to get flagged by KZbin, and I don't feel like shocking children or nice old ladies with a blistering slew of expletives either .

Have you heard of the precharged pneumatic pellet gun's? I have a 22 cal PCM rifle that shoots around 900fps. I can shoot 30 rounds at full fps before it starts shooting lower pressure shots. It pumps up to 2000 psi. Some other more expensive models will go up to 3 or 4 thousand psi & they make full auto & semi auto versions. Mine is a bolt action but if you handled the rifle you would never know it wasn't a rim fire 22. It's called a Beeman Chief. It's not the most expensive pellet rifle but it is actually a nice looking gun. It looks & feels like a hunting rifle.

[@JohnLeePedimore]

I took my Ruger 10/22 and converted the barrel to fire as a black powder muzzleloader. I fire single steel BBs with a cloth patch and 35 grains of powder. It puts the BB out the muzzle at over 3000 fps. It will shoot through 2 panels of a Second Chance Kevlar vest no problem.

Any gun that encourages someone to leave, or gives you time to prepare a surprise them is worth it.

Funny enough, I didn't get a bb gun until after I had several real guns. My dad knew too many people who treated them as toys and lost eyes and stuff, including a cousin of mine who was having a bb gun war against his brother in law while holding his month old daughter on his lap. He lost an eye, and could have hurt the baby. So dad got me real guns, then let me get a bb gun as a teenager.

As a firearm owner what is your opinion on them for self defense?

Never had to use them but considering how they were basically a ball bearing coated in rubber, and I think we had to calibrate our guns to fire at 300fps, I felt pretty confident that if we stumbled on a meth lab and shit went sideways, I could defend myself at 30 balls per second.

What i hate about real guns is that you cant practice with them on a daily basis unless you have the space (and they'll bust your eardrum if you fire them in a concrete enclosed hallway). But the .22 Gamo Magnum Gen2 w/ auto-load mag and .22 Sig Sauer Virtus Semi-Auto are different stories, with or without mods they are intimidating to see. Practice all day makes the bad guys go away whether it may be indoors or outdoors.

[@SMDTURBO]

You can't apply practicing with a BB gun to a real gun. Different weights, different feel, ammo has completely different capabilities, etc. If you're practicing with a BB gun, to use a real gun. You shouldn't own a real gun.

[@wanderlifeitis]

@@SMDTURBO You should treat all arms the same regardless. There are BB / Pellet guns that have similar weights to the real deal, in fact many airsoft guns are so similar to real guns that you wont know the difference until a shot is fired. I know because we have been supplying defense services to banks for the past 50 years. That said, pellet rifles have come a long way since the daisy. The gamo magnum .22 can punch a hole through an inch of concrete or 2pcs of 0.75 inch thick plywood. And that is a gun you can shoot with everyday - in a city, with neighbors. Something you can never do with a firearm. The best defense is familiarity, and if you have kids you will never fire those with them beside you in a closed environment.

Can be any pellet rifle actually, but my pics for general self defense are the. 22 Hatsan Bullmaster, Sig Virtus, Hatsan Blitz, or kick it break barrel style with the Gamo Roadster and Magnum. All of these make short work of an inch of concrete without much of a sound.

If you know your bb gun and can hit the person right in the eye assuming they dont have any safety glasses on you can certainly kill someone with a BB gun. That pink daisy one i dont think could but if you get one of the pumps that you pump like 10 times those certainly can. Pellets are more accurate and since they like to tumble they do more damage. The pumps are stronger than the co2 ones because the strongest shot you get out of them is always the first shot since the co2 is running out after each shot.

I've made pellets using the needle from push pins that will perforate a solid piece of tin that is close to a quarter inch thick (don't remember the exact thickness) when shot out of my 10 pump pellet rifle. For reference, normal lead pellets don't even dent it and bbs would just make craters in the surface then bounce out. They can also go clean through my eye protection, which I've tested against normal pellets and bbs and they've stopped everything except my homemade pellets and some 10 cent "APDS" pellets
