      Probably get stuck in your skin??? Probably? Have you ever shot a bb gun? That shit can go through thinner metal with ease. It can easily shoot through an aluminum bucket (both sides). I’m absolutely shocked at how many people here think bb guns are like airsoft guns. Ya’ll clearly have never used a bb gun. One shoots metal balls. The other shoots plastic.

        I have owned and shot many types of guns over the years including bb guns. I don’t normally shoot people with bb guns so I’m not sure of the exact damage it would cause so I was vague, sorry for not writing an essay on the type of wounds it would cause.

          I didn’t mean my answer to come off as aggressive. Apologies if it came off that way. I was just talking to everyone here in general ha. I’m just a bit confused as to why people don’t consider bb guns to be a potentially serious weapon. I’m just imaging what would happen if you were to shoot someone in the face with a bb gun. I feel like it would be game over for that person. Either permanently fucked, or killed.

            Losing an eye sure but I think death is a bit far for a bb gun (I have done 0 research) but maybe a pellet gun where the projectiles are more bullet shaped maybe. It also depends on how the gun operates and how fast it sends the bbs

            Edit: 4 deaths per year in the US I stand corrected

        fun fact, human skin has this weird property of being incredibly, soft. So more than likely it would expend all of its energy moving your skin around, and then just bounce off leaving a pretty bad bruise or something.

        It’d fuck you up if it hit you in the eye though, for example.
