I have been shot by a BB gun. My childhood was kind of like the Wild West. If I went crazy on the shooter, I wouldn’t chance it with a bear. But, your results may vary.

Youll put your eye out! .50 caliber air rifle with 650 ft-lbs of energy at the muzzle. You'll shoot your head off kid.

Holmes nemesis, Colonel Moran, used his air rifle extensively to settle scores in Merry Olde London.

Of course, their air rifle was around .50 caliber.

BB is the size of the round shot fired from a BB gun. It is .177” dia.
I enjoyed the article but that was no BB gun.

There’s a famous story of a kid, only 3 years old, who killed him a “bahr”.

Yeah, not quite like the pump up Crossman I use for critters in the garage.
“””The gun I used was Airforce Airguns Texan LSS .50 CF, which Riley Baxter reviewed in last months issue of Hunt365. Its a .50 caliber rifle with an incredible 34 barrel, and it sent my bullet with about 650 ft/lbs of energy at the muzzle, so it surpasses the legal requirements for hunting.
Big bore airguns like this one use a whole lot of air to push the bullets, and that makes a loud report. The Texan LSS .50 CF comes with a suppressor, and its very effective.
The impulse is to think that youre hunting with a big BB gun. But a 500-grain bullet weighs more than an entire .308 cartridge. This gun could do a lot more than shoot your eye out.”””””

I had to check to see if this is AM Shooting Journal. :)

The dogs are going and going, trying to get close to a bear and chasing it until it climbs a tree to get away from the dogs. Bears run faster than dogs, but they know dogs don’t climb trees, so they’ll take refuge up a tree until the dogs leave.So big coons basically
