One of the guys at work has one. He fired it off a few times in the parking lot (using hair spray as a propellant). Somebody called the cops :P

Too bad his parents never taught him to look down the barrel of a projectile tube!
Somewhere PETA is cheering for frog rights.

I dunno.kinda hard to feel sorry for someone who looks down the barrel of a gun just fired to see the blockage. I'd hate to think what damage he could have done with an aircraft.

Experience is a harsh teacher. Sometimes you don't get a second chance. I feel sorry for the kid.
I can only hope the doctors turn out to be wrong and he gets his vision back through some miracle.

All too true, and the chance of him learning that at school
is not very good either.
Feel for the kid, was he charged with animal cruelty?

It was a misfire. Technically speaking, it was a "hangfire"...
