yeah that’s SOME KIND of BB or Pellet Gun.
Someone may know more than me I’m certain. But I find it hard to believe that any kind of Pellet gun is going to be able to shot out any self respecting automobile window. Especially at the distance required to fire from cover across an unreported number of lanes of highway and take out a passenger side window.
The media simply trying to minimize the panic about another beltway shooter in Montgomery County.
Yeah, seems strange to me too. I270 is 4 main lanes with two additional access lanes and wide shoulders. That area is also in the middle of downtown Rockville, so there isn’t any wooded cover to speak of. So I’m assuming he was using a pistol, not a rifle. I’m not buying a pistol pellet gun being able to hit and explode windows of cars going 70mph+. Sounds fishy.
You can buy a spring loaded center punch at the hardware store for $5.00 or so that is the size of a pencil.
Just requires you to put the tip on the glass and press. Requires less pressure than a stapler and car tempered glass will “Craze” and fall apart.
Many Drivers keep one incase of ending up in water. Just press and shatter to escape.
So a BB or Pellet would do the same.
Well I may be wrong because I was mistaken a few times before but maybe someone else can help out here on the Power of a modern BB/Pellet Gun. I’m pretty sure that there are some Powerful options on those type of gunz these days.
They have advanced from the “You’ll put Your EYE OUT” Days.
