New York City needs to be taken back from the animals. Including the lead animal in City Hall!
Is it dangerous to be shot with a BB gun?
In the face?
I don’t know if it’s dangerous. But today it’s a bb but who knows what tomorrow will be.
Today it’s Bennett, BB is out a while
Yes. Besides for the obvious danger that can come with getting hit in the eyes, some BB guns are powerful enough to kill small animals, and can easily hurt people.
A 23 year old bo chur!!! What is this world coming to??
23 is ancient for Bedford and Lee but not so much for Crown Hts.
Layman – what is your question? Let’s say it hits you in the face of the eye? What do you think the end-result will be?
And what about these kids that play paintball? Paintball is a lot more dangerous.
In no universe is paintball- a sport played while wearing masks and other protective gear, with larger projectiles traveling slower- more dangerous than getting shot while unprotected with a metal BB, which goes faster than a paintball and can do a lot more damage. People use BB guns to kill squirrels and raccoons, there’s a reason they don’t use paintball guns for that.
If your wearing the correct protective clothing it’s as dangerous as walking the streets when bicyclists, scooters, and cell phone occupied pedestrians are there too.
Or wearing a mask that restricts your breathing.
