What is a “high powered BB gun”?
They sure a hell are not the good old “Red Ryder”, lever action BB guns we had a kids. Today’s versions (improperly named) are equal to more high powered .17 and .22 calibers used for hunting purposes. The are actually “pellet” guns (usually lead shaped projectiles)rather than the older, copper coated, round shaped “BB” guns of old.
don-o, the reply at #30, I believe, is meant for you.
I have a Crossman pump up BB/Pellet pistol and it will move a BB at over 500fps, probably powerful enough to penetrate deep into a four year olds skull. If you want to see sheer stupidity in action check the comments from Leon Johnson on the Johnson City Press, Sheer liberal stupidity.
