I was passing through the ER and some kids were messing around with Crosman BB guns. They chased each other around shooting each other in their yard. One guy got the drop on the other and shot him in the back at point blank range. It went right into his back lodged near his spine. They decided to leave it in. Had to make a police report since its technically gunshot!
I think the only time I got hit was when I did it my self. I was shooting some targets out my window at some targets that I had set up outside. I missed the BB hit a big rock and came back and nailed me in the head! Shit did that hurt. Didnt break the skin but left a welt. I got a bigger welt on my ass because another richocet hit the neighbors window and took it out.

When I was 18 or so I was out working on my car and my brother opened up the window to our upstairs apartment and got me right in the small of the back. One of those pump up pellet guns. He gave it like ten pumps. Hurt like hell. By the time I hit the stairs he was already out the door and running. He didn't come home for like 9 hours.

It was actually the lady next door had one of those concrete birdbaths. I did take a shot at the occasional bird that would be sitting on it. But it was more fun to splash the water in the bath. It would make a big splash and you could see the BB spark. It was one of those that hit the window. |

My GFs brother would get his repeater, line his sisters up and shoot at their feet and told them to dance. My GF had enough so she took a 2x4 and whacked him with it. The problem was that the 2x4 had a nail in it and messed him up pretty good. |

I have. Right in the face.
I was 7 years old and was shooting my bbgun in the garage. I shot a rubber bucket and it came right back and hit me just under my left eye on the cheek! Thanks God I did not put my eye out that day. |

Yes, by a friend using MY gun. We were about 10yo. He did not have the benefit of my training. He never used it again.
Brother in law did get hit in the eye. Must not have had much velocity left but did result in permanant damage. |

Right between the shoulder blades, thankfully it was a pistol and barely drew blood. Fing hurt though.

Back when I was either 12 or 13 we were shooting our air rifles at each other (before we had paintball) We wore goggles and badded our jackets and stuff so nothing would penatrate. However this one dick saw me hidding but all he could see was my foot so he shot it. The BB went through my shoe, and into my big toe the BB went in near the nail and traveled up the bone to my foot. I sat on the ground using my thumbs to squeeze it back out the entrance. Hurt like a sonuvabitch. THe next morning my mom saw my toe and said "OH my what happended?" I told her that a stubbed my toe.

When I was like 12 I had the bright Idea of seeing if my Crossman pump pellet gun would go through a 5 gallon bucket. The answer is no, the first shot ricocheted right back into my nuts. It didn't hurt too badly because of my blue jeans but it was a valuable lesson learned.

My wife was hit under her breast, near the side of the ribcage. It left a nice little bb scar that's still clearly visible.

When I was, maybe seven or eight, my older brother hit me in the
middle of the chest with a bb. My dad saw the welt that evening and confirmed what he surmised. He told me to get my slingshot and one bb. Had my brother and I stand about eight feet apart on the front porch and told me to fire at will. I was hell with a slingshot and nailed that sucker good. My dad held him back until I made my getaway. Of course, in the days to come, my brother added a few bruises to the welt. He was five years older and, at that age it made a difference in size. |

Probably hundreds of times .
But we had our own version of the Hague convention . 760, 880 were 2 pumps in the summer and 6 in the winter . Spring guns like the daisy cub and red Ryder were ok , but no C02 or break type high velocity guns allowed , and no intentional face shots  Of course that didn't prevent the occasional " Sinker " Little did we know that 25 years later people would Pay good money for force on force training . Or Airsoft and paint ball . |

Doc, I'm surprised bb's were considered gunshots. Will this data come back to haunt us when the VPC, or HCI and company tally up the total for thier campaign to stop "Gun Violence?" If so it's no wonder they produce phantasmal data each year. No offense to you doc. |

My first BB gun was a Daisy Cub.
1) Shot at a squirrel while it was running along the powerline I was standing under. I waitied until it was directly above me before I shot. The BB hit the squirrel with a sound that remnded me of shooting a pillow and the BB bounced off and come all the way back down and hit me on the cheek. 2) A richochet broke a window in my fathers garage. 3) I worked the lever action to get it ready but instead of closing the lever I left it straight down and while laying prone I stuck the lever in the ground and "discovered" the Mono-pod. Now my BB gun could swivel around and I didnt have to support all the weight !! I pulled the trigger and the lever slammed shut and busted my middle finger pretty bad. It bled for awhile. Still have a scar there today.... THEN I GOT A CROSMAN 1377 PUMP PISTOL with OPTIONAL RIFLE STOCK 4) I was using the pistol like a hammer and breaking HUGE dirt clods into smaller one while having a dirt clod fight with my cousins. It went off and impacted right next to my member. It went though my jeans but not my underwear. I had one Hell of a strawberry there and it even bled some.... BB gun wars were some of the best fun in my whole life but DAMN WE WERE STUPID, CARELESS AND DAMN LUCKY nobody ever lost an eye! LB |

BB GUN WARS!! Summer of '78. Crosman 760 standard issue, three pump max (so MANY cheaters!)
My brother snuck up to my position with his Marksman Spring BB gun. Just as I was getting ready to pick off the enemy, he jumped up, pointed his pistol at me and pulled his trigger! The BB hit my thumb and man was I pissed!  That sucker hurt! No real wounds though. That was SOOO much fun! |

Yup - 12 years old hunting gophers in the pasture down the road from the house with a
There was a pile of 4" irrigation pipe that I saw some furry critters run into. I told my neighbor, "I'll go look in one end and if I see one I'll let you know." I was on one end and he was on the other. I was looking in the third pipe and I said, "There's one." Next thing I know my eye hurt like hell. I moved my hand to cover it and it came back bloody. I couldn't see too well, but we walked about a mile back to the house and showed my mom. It turned out that the BB hit my lower eyelid and missed my eye by only a few thousandths of an inch. There is still a small divot on my eyelid and I'm missing an eyelash. It was a good thing we weren't using .22s |

I have long experience in BB gun wars. Yea it hurts. My old gang from the hood in 1952, including my brother Bob third from left and myself second from left. Note the Daisy with the scope for long range sniping.

Before there were paintguns we would put on big down jackets and full face motorcycle helmets and play war. You could always tell when you got a hit cuz you heard either wack! (from the jacket), Tink! (from the helmet), or Ouch! from a leg or hand shot. |

Hell, yes! We had BB gun wars back in the early '80s. I shot my cousin in the ankle, he got pissed, and loaded a pointed Beeman pellet without telling me. After we called it quits for the day, he shot me point blank in the right thigh. It put a bloody hole in my leg, and to this day, I don't know if the pellet is still in there or not.

Oneshot no offense taken. I think it also has to do with the city you are located and state laws. You even have to have pistol permit to buy a pellet gun. That says it all. |

Yeah, I thought everyone did. One of the mysteries in life is that no one ever got seriously hurt in ours. edit: Now getting hit with those lawn darts is another subject. Friend nailed his little brother right in the side of the head. Went to the Doc's, turned out ok in the end. |

BB and Pellet wounds. both to the legs. Brother had to get a "mass" surgically removed a couple years ago from a pellet under his skin that was there for 20+ years...
