The modern pellet and BB handguns fire a projectile at about 600fps. It’s almost a .22 short. My pellet rifle fires at 1200fps which is about the same as a .22LR.

There is no orange warning tip on them because THEY ARE A REAL AND DANGEROUS WEAPON.

Everyone laughs at the “you’ll put your eye out”. I work with a guy who was mostly blinded in one eye from a BB that a kid in his neighborhood shot. THEN, 30 years later, he had a detached retina in the OTHER eye (what bad luck!), that BARELY got re-attached. That was not funny at all.
