A BB gun isn’t going to kill anyone,

I didn't think it could either until about a year ago not far from where I live.... this happened.

A pellet gun, as was stated in the story, will toss a BB at about 3X the speed of a BB gun.

Still, this is tragic. Adults required, and not just someone over 18 or 21, but real grown-ups.

Pellet guns are significantly different from a BB gun.

Some pellet guns shoot at 1400 feet per second. The average BB gun shoots and 300/400 feet per second.

Only a shot into the Eyesocket with the Eye already out could kill someone.

It was not a BB gun. There is a big difference. Some pellet guns approach low powered cartridge arms in energy of the projectile.
