Can you kill someone with a BB Gun/Air Gun?


I want to say these aren't strong enough to kill a human, although if it can get through an Armadillo's hide maybe I'm wrong. However I seem to remember someone being shot by one of these when I was in middle school -- granted twice the range -- and while it hurt like hell the person was fine.

Pretty sure it was a Ruger 10/22.

It was a .22

It was a 22 caliber rifle. Reagan was shot with the same weapon in 1981 and almost died.

I thought it was a .22 too. An air BB gun wouldn't pierce an Armadillo's hide. I shot a ground hog with an air BB gun and it did nothing too it.

A .22 rifle is a perfect murder weapon. The projectile tends to tumble in the skull and it does a great deal of damage, more than a larger slug that simply passes through. It can travel in a blood vessel from one part of the body to the other and block/damage the heart or lungs. It's less likely to cause collateral damage to bystanders.





Bored now.
