Lmfao! You got shot in the head with a bb gun? Or an air rifle?
Because there are some pretty damn powerful air rifles out there! I used to snipe pigeons off of the neighbors roofs when I was like 11. Those things are strong! AND they use lead pellets.
If it's the latter, you're lucky you didn't get lead poisoning and die!
Bahhhh, we used to have "one-pump" wars as kids. it was the original paint ball. Getting beaned with a baseball is is worse than a one pump bb that won't even break the skin...
I grew up in a half and half suburb. Half rural, half urban. Nice urban suburb looking from the street side but each property had a half-acre back yard. And there was lots of roaming around scrub areas around and about.
We had bb gun wars. We'd collect eggs, let them go bad, and use them as hand grenades too.
When one of the moms found out we were shooting at each other with intent, the phone calls started.
The final ruling was, it's ok but we had to wear our father's eye protection available in every backyard shop.
You would chuck baseballs at each other? Lol I HATE flying projectiles. Thats why I could never do sports involving small, fast flying projectiles growing up.
Lacrosse, Baseball, Softball, Hockey... all scared the shit out of me. I was much more comfortable doing Rugby, wrestling and club jiu jitsu.
My best score was when an opponent climbed into one if those prefab "tree" houses on legs, closed the lower half of the door and sat back in the dark to snipe... So I lofted one high through the doorway and was rewarded with a howl as I pegged him in the tender flesh of his inner trigger forearm.. So much for the SnipersHide...
The difference is between a spring powered (Red Ryder) and the air pump (Benjamin 22 caliber) or the Co2 gas powered. Most “BB” guns are spring powered.
My brother and I got air rifles one Christmas. They had a bar across the muzzle so you couldn't shoot any projectiles (so they thought). We quickly discovered that jamming them into mud or soft dirt made a really nice thing to shoot. Dirt bombs.
A BB gun. The one that shoots the little metal round bb’s(bullets). I guess technically it’s a air rifle too because it was supposed to be pumped up around 10 times. They had that airbag in them. Nowadays they have those crack barrel air up style. They seem quite a bit more powerful than what we had. Although we’ve shot hundreds of birds with that pump up style, back in the day.

Yeah, I did, too. Lucky we weren't blinded.
"You'll shoot your eye out kid" comes to mind.

It is a miracle we survived childhood !

Yes I agree.
