But I guess if you have enough back pressure, you could load it up that way.

Why do the weird attacks happen mostly in Europe? Over here, when someone comes unhinged, it's with a high powered rifle and by God they make sure people know they're PO'd. On the Olde Continent, a perpetrator will throw a pie in some government poobah's face or pepper someone with a BB gun, which later gets describes more ominously as a gas-powered ball bearing firearm. Then there's your drunken soccer hooligan mob swarm, 16th century sword attack or butter knife stabbing. The London Daily Mail reports:
Dube Egwuatu was buying a mobile telephone top-up card...when the gunman confronted him and glared at the top, which carries an image of the Democrat US presidential candidate underneath the legend 'Believe'.Translation: An unemployable skinhead with a 3rd grade education plinked a black immigrant with a BB gun.The man then launched into a tirade of racist slurs, shouting 'I f***ing hate n*****s' and urging 36-year-old Mr Egwuatu to leave the shop with him. The attacker then fired the gas-powered ball-bearing pistol three times, hitting the civil servant in the face, hand and shoulder.
Missing from the story was the reaffirmation that world citizen Obama really is the World's candidate. Throwing off our moonshine-guzzling, racist hick past and electing Mr. Obama is the only way to prevent more of these egregious BB gun attacks.
52 and never knew.
gas-powered ball-bearing pistol ping
Sounds like the appropriate reaction to me!
A man identifies himself as a militant black racist seeking the overthrow of a Republic through vote fraud and wrecks the economy though loans to assholes who can’t and won’t pay them off—— deserves to be shot....
</s> slighty.
Gas powered? What do you do, fart in the thing?
BB does not stand for ball bearings.
BB is a shot size, 0.18” in diameter.

Not a very active ping list!

My guess is that it wasn’t just the shirt. He was probably more than a little obnoxious.

Son of a b___. That's gonna leave a mark.
How is this possible. Guns are banned over there and we all know when guns are banned, it eliminates gun violence /sarcasm
the moose should have told ya that were closed for repairs..
Hmmm, maybe I should get a No.000-gun then. :)
I read it, expecting Blood and Gore, and instead just got "Ow! OW! Dmmit cut it out!OUCH!!"
Forgive my scepticism but the only account we have of this purported attack comes from the purported victim, an Obama supporter. I just wonder if this is just another instance of the vic also being the perp as has happened before with these Lefties. They are totally untrustworthy people.
get you a 12 gauge shotgun and ask the nice man behind the counter for some
‘triple aught buck’
Thats how you say it.....
My thoughts also.
Ouch! Just a lil ole BB or not, embedding in the skin can be a pain.
My boss’s son was shot in the face by his roommate. I can’t even recall if it was a fight or horseplay, but it involved a CO2-powered BB gun. The surgeon had to wait a while to make sure his eyesight would be OK and swelling went down some before he went in. What was supposed to be a 1-hour surgery stretched out into 2.5. Anyway, the young man’s recovering nicely, far as I know, but I doubt he’s enjoyed it much. Gotta be careful not to paralyze facial nerves when ya go digging around in there.
